To keep at least some element of intrigue, I will not specify which item from the world of Half Life 2 was the inspiration object

Basic set of material


… and a baby carriage ?!


Not all of course, only covers from the wheels






Cutting, sawing, drilling








Meanwhile another staff - find a paint for outside surfaces

Let's continue table mount making process…

Since intrigue failed - just a screenshot


I don’t really know what is it. Something links to the security screens in the Combine armory.

Billets for "legs" from the aluminum angle


Front support for legs


Cool stuff


Frame complete

 

Wow.

I've never played half life, so have no idea what that is, but it looks cool. Nice work.

Could it be the power source (battery) for the turret?

 

It's really great idea to build UPS into the table mount.
Here a lot free space inside and UPS weight could make construction more stable
Thank you so much for your idea

 

This has been impressing me from the beginning.

It's been a while since I played half life so I didn't know what it was on the guess game but I always love seeing grab anything that works type modding like using a pram wheel for instance.

 

Heartily thank you for your genuine interest to my work
