eldar night spinner turret
converted forge world turret
Having picked up one of the ageing Forge World Night Spinner conversion kits, I wanted to update the design and bring it in line with the newer Firestorm kit. This serves as an alternative design to the more recent plastic combined Fire Prism/Night Spinner turret.date: 2010 - present (work-in-progress)
components: 1x Forge World Night Spinner conversion kit, 1x Firestorm turret base, 1x Falcon turret top, 1x Falcon cockpit, 1x Forge World Eldar Hornet pilot, neodymium magnets (various sizes), styrene rods (various diameters) brass rod, Green Stuff

The Falcon turret was glued in place at a slight angle to mimic the Firestorm silhouette.
A spare Firestorm turret base was used here.
I wanted the weapons to be able to elevate, so I used cylindrical styrene tubing to allow this.
The barrels of the weapons were shortened slightly.
The blisters and fins were removed from the top of the weapons to give them a sleeker appearance.
The vents were filled in on the inner side of both weapons.
The weapon cowling was extended slightly on the outer side of both guns.
This small protrusion, modelled in Green Stuff, acts as a stop to prevent the weapons from rotating forwards below the horizontal.
