His suggestion was that to make it worthwhile we could turn it into a general purpose gun mount, so that&#8217;s what we did. This simple base unit can hold remote mounted heavy guns, smaller air defence systems, radars or we&#8217;ve even turned it into a static crane. Although the guns are from our 15mm sci-fi range, there&#8217;s nothing to give the scale away so they would serve equally well as smaller weapon mounts with 28\/32mm figures. They could be used as standalone static gun installations in a defensive line, they could be mounted on the roofs of buildings or fitted to the rear flatbed of a truck as a makeshift mobile weapon. We&#8217;ve listed it with options for five different weapons plus the radar and crane &#8211; but if you want any of our other small turret\/weapon options, let us know and we&#8217;ll sort it out for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/BasesRelease.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"16593\"
