The Long thing in the gun is a rigid cable which has to be cut to size so only about 1 mm of it sticks out of the front of the barrel(see the images of the prototype bellow).

Is there any way to set custom lengths for rigid cables in LDD?

The gun can be turned 360°and also can swivel up and down

All lower side panels have different patterns, but those aren't visible due to the way LDD renders. I am trying to get LDD2POV-Ray to work to get some better renders.

The sloped brick bellow the turret is supposed to be the gunners targeting display. I plan on using part 85984pb077 for that.

Prototype:

A prototype I build with parts from my collection. Obviously the colors are wrong and not even most of the parts are correct.

I plan on making some better renders and creating a rebrickable site soon.

The rigid cables are only available in a few lengths in ldd, however if you go into View and Chose LDD Extended, there might be some additional lengths :)

Shortest is still 24mm though, which is still a little too long, but yeah it definitely looks better :D

Great build for this turret. Will you make this part of a larger MOC?

[Lucifer]

Yeah, I building a small Sullust diorama for my AT-ST.

This is what I currently have, but I am going to replace that completely.

Turbo laser will go on the left, AT-ST Right and in the center will be a new bunker entrance based on markus1984s fantastic builds, which I am currently prototyping with old bricks:

Rebrickable for the Turret is up see first post.

That entryway looks spot on - but I think it should be in dgb or at least lbg?

I don't think the colors are final, they're just prototyping for now.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on this! Sullust is a beautiful location.
