Again, thanks, This project started with those chunks.

It does stay up. It works like this: It's narrow technic beams
cris-crossed held together with friction pins with axles at the top and
bottom. Now, when the turret is stowed, everything lays flat no problems.
To get the turret raised; you grab it tilt it backwards slightly and raise
it til one of the top axles clears a 'holding brick' that keeps the turret
up, then un-tilt the turret so the 'holding brick' locks the mechanism in
place. I've got two issues with this: it's sort of wobbly (due to the
nature of technic) and the holding brick isn't very strong. Any significant
amount of pressure and the thing pops right off. (disassemble time...)
Yeah, I keep playing with colors. I like this one. Solid black with
any bright color seems to work well.

How could I have utilized the colors better? Solid red for the body? More
solids? Too many colors? What do you mean?
