eldar fire prism turret
converted classic metal kit
I had considered converting some metal Fire Prisms using the Forge World Type II Falcon kit as far back as 2008, but when the new plastic kit was released I shelved the idea. Although I was pleased with the conversion work I achieved on my two plastic Fire Prism/Night Spinner turrets, I've always had a soft spot for the classic metal Fire Prism design. In 2016 I decided to revisit the original idea and assemble a metal Fire Prism turret to add to my collection, using the turret from the Forge World Type II Falcon conversion kit to give it a more modern look.date: 2016 - present (work-in-progress)
components: 1x 1x standard Falcon turret, classic metal Fire Prism components, 1x plastic Fire Prism prism cannon energiser, 1x Forge World Eldar Hornet pilot, 1x Forge World Type II Falcon turret top, plastic rod/tubing (various diameters), neodymium magnets (various sizes), Green Stuff, White Milliput

This classic design of sensor has been used on several of my other projects, such as the Wraithknight and my converted plastic Fire Prism turrets.
This section of the turret's roof was cut away so that I could magnetise the cockpit canopy.
White Milliput was used to blend the plasticard in with the metal Prism Cannon. Additional detail will be added later.
An additional piece of styrene tubing was glued to the turret mount. This will stop the Prism Cannon from rotating forwards due to its weight.
