Diglers Turrets

[Digler]

Hey fellow fighters.....I'd thought that I'd put some feelers out there on this. I want to bring all my creations to the masses, or as many as want my stuff, but I'm a little shy and thought I'd come up with something that most of us 1/18th military collectors don't have but have the Humvee....the turret.
I've come up with a universal system that will fit on most Humvee's, well BBI and 21st Century anyways. It fits tight and rotates 360 has a opening hatch and front armor and is removable. There are two types the normal version on the Humvee and the more robust one with the mirrors and windows in the front armor. $30 for the Humvee turret and around 35-40 for the 'deluxe version'.

the 'Normal' version

'Deluxe' version

So there ya go...no commitments yet, just feelers...........

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Do thwy fit PTE also? I forget if there is a difference in the mounts.

I'm not sure MB, I don't have a PTE one. Anyone want to send me one and I'll make sure they fit that one also.

 

[K-Tiger]

If I had a HMMWV I sure as hell would be.

 

[darthdre758]

At the risk of being lynched on here....do these fit on Retaliation Ninja Combat Cruiser?

 

[Pickelhaube]

The plain has already been done, and if time allowed I was going to do the up armored one .

Well there's yer problem. :trollface:

 

[daremo]

The BBI (Super Humvee) and PTE openings are identical. I can fit the BBI turret on the PTE Humvee without any mods.

Great idea but no, the opening is too small to fit the turret without mods.

 

[darthdre758]

Thanks Daremo. On to my next idea....PM.

I didn't know if daremo wanted me to include his name as he's the one casting it. I've been lucky enough to be the recipient of daremo's castings he's talented and reliable so you can count on him.

Which matters little if you aren't currently making them available. *shrugs*

 

[Monkeywrench]

Great stuff Digler!

 

[Pickelhaube]

Just thought he needed to know.

And I WILL make the upgraded one in time to come.

 

[azslogan]

Exactly!

 

[azslogan]

I'm in for one or both that you do.

 

[saltymarine]

Those are nice, I made one myselfe cause they weren't available, working on the upgraded one currently, but i tend to get crazy with detail, wish I could cast big stuff like these, but I can't, so it's one at a time for now, want to do a full upgrade kit with doors, roof, front end an bumper, IED jammer etc, guess I need to learn to cast ...

 

[daremo]

I'm just going to put these pictures here...

 

[Tarquinius]

Beautiful work!

 

[Digler]

Ya beat me to it brother....

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Those look fantastic!

 

[HeelJoe]

Awesome! I've got a big order in

 

[custer7thcav]

I've seen thesr in hand when i last visited daremo.
They are fantastic!
Daremo does outstanding work!
Great design work by digler!
I have a few humvees that could use these. I encourage members of our online community to support projects like these as they are able.

 

[Joerhyno]

Where do I send my money????

 

[K-Tiger]

Looks like I know where to go if I ever get a 1:18 HMMWV.

 

[Brickhead]

Looks really awesome. Have you ever considered sculpting bolt heads on the screw holes in the hinges?

 

[SE 55]

Daremo, are these available for purchase?

 

[Digler]

Looks really awesome. Have you ever considered sculpting bolt heads on the screw holes in the hinges?

Hey man, yes I considered it but I don't want to charge for the extra time these will be $30 and includes a gun when you pre-order.

 

[Digler]

Ok guys, here is an update, there is a big surprise for you whom are/have purchased the turret already...I'll just say that hex head bolts are the norm now....and I'm in the middle of up amoured parts for you Humvee's.

Thank you to ALL whom have pre-purchased and that means more stuff is coming.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Oooo! I haven't ordered yet (still haven't checked to see which brand(s) I own. ), but I'm wondering if I should hold off and place an order when the other armored other parts are available...any idea when you think that will be Dig?

Hey brother Eddie, I'd get the turret/s now because Daremo is including a gun of your choice and my upgrades will still be a bit( I wish I could show you what's up now....but then where would the....anticipation be?). I'll keep you posted of course, and when I get the first turret soon, I'll post the final product you will all receive.....and it will be glorious......I'm also thinking of an roof upgrade later on if there is enough interest in that...like the M-ATV one.
After the Humvee stuff it's all about Little birds and Blackhawks ( interiors and exteriors). Azlogan has sent me a 2 BBI FLIR little birds, 2 assault little birds, and 2 Blackhawks.The difference between BBI and PTE is night and day. This will be extensive and of course I'll photolog it all in detail so my fellow brothers can attempt to do thier own.
I'll be diving head first into that and I have a new modern military sci fi dio series that I'm in the midst of writing. So I'm busy but the list so far is Humvee's, Helicopters, and Diorama's. Probably until Christmas.

ps...hint....I've seen the Humvee's up armored all around the vehicle....hehe.

Nope. You need to do those MH-6/MD 500 mods with the idea of casting in mind.

 

[XOC2008]

I second this.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I'm in the midst of up armoring the whole vehicle.

 

[Pickelhaube]

Nothing like a little competition.

You do know that I am doing the Blackhawk DAP upgrade as well.

But I plan to do nothing with the Little Bird .

 

[K-Tiger]

I second this.

6-blade main and 4-blade tail rotors, M134s for the weapon plank, with feed chutes and ammo cans.

UH-60V glass cockpit upgrade!

 

[XOC2008]

This. A thousand times this.

 

[Digler]

I never said I was going to cast anything at all with the helo's, I was just going to customize them. I wanted to concentrate on dio's after that, but if there is enough of you that want little bird upgrades I'll consider that.
Daremo is the guy I send stuff to and he has to agree to it also or I probably won't do it, he's not just a caster, he can improve the originals. You will see our combined work very soon with the turrets. He hasn't even seen my work on the other amour upgrades yet and he may not like them. We will see.
