Ummm... There are four reasons why I did leave the the technic bushs there:

A) I like to stick to a specific colour scheme when I build my models. My mecha
transport will have a grey, dark-grey, and yellow colour scheme. I don't want
any black on the rotary machine gun.

B) I don't exactly have many 75535s or 6538s.

C) The bushs in the middle actually hold the model together, becuase I used an
8 stud long axle in the front and a 6 stud long axle in the back. Like I
previously said, I don't have many 6538s so I had to use the regular bushs to
hold the axles together together.

D) What the heck do you mean when you say realistic?! ;-) This is a futuristic
minigun, one that is going to be used in the future. Frankly, I think that it
is quite round and cool; the bushs don't make it look weird.

I love this gun and I'm not critacising but I have two suggestions, either
leave off the bush'es and leave the axles for barrels (like I used to do) or
a much better idea is to use the technic barrel piece (75535 Technic Pin
Joiner Round) in either black or grey.

This would give you a realistic round barrel with an open end if you built
it right. You may have already thought of it but simply not had the parts
available. I have already used mine for both a truck exhaust and a tank
barrel. I used black connector pegs to connect it all together. You get ten
in the technic recovery truck.

(...) I have a draw full of mecha manga, I've never seen a minigun that didn't have perfectly round barrels's either real or cartoon! Steve (24 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
