As you guys have seen, the Sturmtiger has a ball and socket set-up for
the main gun.  My problem right now is filling the socket with a ball.
 So, I took the idea of a ball literally.  My daughter has one of
those flimsy rubber volleyballs made out of rubber.  I have deflated
it and what do you know?  It fits perfectly in the gun socket I have
right now.  The idea would be to cut a hole in the volleyball for the
gun sleeve to fit through (made from a large PVC pipe) and seal it
with some sort of caulk.  On the opposite side of the ball, I would
cut another hole big enough to be able to pour resin around the barrel
sleeve.  Using something like Smooth-on resin, I would fill the ball
up about 3/4 of the way full.  Once it cures cut the ball away and
voila, a nice ball to fit in the socket.  Anyone have and pros or cons
of doing this?  Does the resin expand while it's curing?  I'm asking
that since the ball does stretch when it's filled with air.  Also, if
there are any other ideas, I'd be open to those also.

Thanks.

Derek
