I know that I did a Lego mobster turret instructable a while back, but if you haven’t noticed, that isn’t the way I have them permanently. The reason being that I wanted 2 mobsters, but I only had 2 ‘gun holders’. So I adapted the design, and to be honest I prefer this design to the previous. It also uses some more ‘common’ pieces, so that’s a plus!
(By the way, the lighting in the images isn’t very good since I took most of the pictures at night and relied on a single bulb)

Supplies

Random useless fact : did you know that in Portal Stories : Mel, if you (somehow) hold a mobster turret upside down so that you can see the bottom of the stand, it reads ‘do not tip over’?

If you want more variety between your mobster turrets, try building some with a grey/gray colour scheme?
