15mm Science Fiction Heavy Gun Turret
This time I decided to try a piece for a smaller game scale: 15mm. This smaller scale appears to be gaining in popularity for some table top miniature war games, particularly where you want to field larger troop formations.
This heavily armored gun turret sports a large cannon. This type of weapon system is not easily transportable from one battlefield to another, but is designed to be erected in a static location. It can be used as a major defensive weapon protecting a military installation, population center, or starport.
The base of this terrain piece measures about 3 x 3 inches (76 x 76 mm). The turret stands 2-1/2 inches tall (65 mm).
The combat figures in the photos for size comparison are from the Rebel Miniatures 15mm series. The details of the miniatures are pretty remarkable for such a small scale.
