It worked. How free is the movement on those autocannon-- do they tend to flop around, or are they pretty stable in train?

Yes, they flop around a lot to the sides. I used part 2476, FYI.

  
   Too bad LEGO doesn’t make pieces that are more suited to making things like this CITV sight for the M1A2 Abrams tank:



I don’t know, you might be able to do something with the Technic Driving Ring Extension...in dark grey on the newer Slave 1. But it would be pretty small compared to a minifig. Rotating masts are always a bit of a problem...

Yeah. Good suggestion nonetheless.

  
   In fact, I figure that the “bar” is where the bulk of the electronic equipment (radar, comm, jammers, etc.) is housed. So it indeed has a role in aiming the guns.

All autocannon must have localized sights, so I assumed the real thing would have a binocular effect. It does ooze “tankiness” and stability.

The construction is a real inspiration, as always.

Thanks again.
