Large Laser cannon Housing (Part 2)

 I wanted to be able to control the elevation of the Laser Cannon and have it recoil with each shot.  I gave up on the recoil as just to hard for now as getting one motor in there was going to be difficult enough, much less two.

Here are two quartering views.  The gear train starts on the left side and goes up and then towards the front of the housing.


Then it goes across the housing on a long axle.  Then reverses itself by going towards the back and down and back to the front where it engages the cannon carriage.


Here you can see how the motor mounts and connects to the gear train.

Here I have installed the cylinder housings.  These just barely fit and there may be some very slight touching.


Next I will close up the housing and finish detailing it.
