okay, i'm starting to look at how to mount the marker into the turret. i am thinking that i may relocate the air line back to the bottom of the marker as it looks like it may push the lid of the turret off when it's shooting straight. the reason i moved the air line to the side was so i could mount the gun upright as it was meant to be used, but i forget sometimes this is a 1:7th scale tiger leaving me less room. but my main concern is the hopper and feed for the paint balls. right now i have one of them 45' elbows on it and am thinking maybe a 90' copper fitting would be more ideal. I do see that for me to sit the marker pretty much where it is right now, i'll have to do some cutting and grinding inside of the turret (now to find my battery powered Dremal tool and a grinding bit of some sort). i am trying to think of how to mount the marker to the mantle, i was first thinking of about three 90' brackets around the barrel and some how clamping it in place, but i don't have the space for the brackets nor do i think clamping it would hold too well. I am going to see if i have any wood bits the same dia as the marker's barrel for a snug fit. if i am that lucky (not going to get my hopes up), i'll drill out a board or two and then mount it to the back side of the mantle, then slip the gun through - wait, there is just enough room to do that now without me adding the extra wood, lacks space. maybe if i mount the marker's barrel into the turret's barrel and just screw it is as need be (Frank, your's is like that isn't it?). I can't find the allen key to remove the grip from the handle to remove the electronics, cut the handle and mount it to the marker. i'll be needing one of them electronic triggers (Joe has them, right?) what would be the most ideal up-angle on the barrel? I would like to try to have some down ward movement as well but not a priority. ideas? oh, here are a few pictures of the marker sitting freely in the turret (i only got 2 pictures to load so far, AOL and Photobucket aren't playing nicely again): _http://s262.photobucket.com/albums/ii117/OdysseySlipways/7th%20scale%20Tiger%201%20tank/Turret/10-11-08/_ (http://s262.photobucket.com/albums/ii117/OdysseySlipways/7th%20scale%20Tiger%201%20tank/Turret/10-11-08/)
