So, I need a little bit of help. I am taking the turret from a Predator and converting into a Leman Russ Extermintor turret and putting it on a Chimera Chasis. If anyone of you have ever built an IG tank you will know that there is a difference between how the turret goes on a Russ Chasis ans how it goes on the Chimera Chasis. What I need to know is how I can get the Predator turret onto the Chimera Chasis.

I was thinking about taking the bottom part of the Chimera turret, cutting in into a circle just big enough to fill in the hole at the bottom of the Predator turret and then glueing it there. Any other ideas are welcome.

Why not just mount the autocannons into the Russ turret and use the Russ chassis? A pair of spare autocannons from heavy weapons sprues should fit the bill-- that's what most people around here do.

I had originally planned on doing that but I am going for something a little more original. I really like the look of the Chimera Chasis, it isn't as huge and bulky as the Russ and has a lot sleaker look to it.

Rather than chop up a chimera turret bottom you could just fill the underside of the predator one with Milliput or a bit of platsi card.
Then use one of those round bits you get on the sprues ( if memory serves one of them is the right size) for the 'pin' that goes into the hull. Or a bit of paint brush handle would do.

The main thing will be getting it central.

i seen one done with some older rhino chassie parts it looked pretty cool and the turret is the same size as the razorback mounting hole. hope some of this helps.
