MechTech Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I haven't seen anything concrete, but it looks like they are around the same size as SDF's secondary weapon turrets. Then again, the Zentaedi destriyer looks like it has multiple sizes. How's that for a good answer? - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honneamise Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 In the Perfect Memory book, p. 181, there is a sketch of a 2000m Zentraedi cruiser. At the given scale of about 1/24000 the smaller turrets are about 48m in diameter - that´s quite massive in 1/72 or 1/100..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get home, in the next few days, I'll be able to check some of my references and post some pics of something I've been working on while at sea.

Also called turret head- a pivoted attachment on a lathe or the like for holding a number of tools, each of which can be presented to the work in rapid succession by a simple rotating movement. 4.

cowie165 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You sure they weren't referring to 'torrent'? In an internet-related context? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bromgrev Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What, you don't think Zentraedi spell 'turret' the way humans do, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 In the Perfect Memory book, p. 181, there is a sketch of a 2000m Zentraedi cruiser. At the given scale of about 1/24000 the smaller turrets are about 48m in diameter - that´s quite massive in 1/72 or 1/100..... Those are some of the largest types also. There is a scene in Daidalos Attack where Battepods are launched right next ta 3 turrets. A normal beam version, a point defense missile version, and the large version. BTW, there are roughly 5 different turret versions so you might wanna specify. But I place the normal version's base, the one that gets the most screen time, at around 18-26 meters and roughly 26-30 meters in length on the turret itself.
