Scratch Build – In Progress Combine Ceiling Turret

UPS table mount. Power ON

Some progress…

At first, kit for rust imitation:



And then UPS table mount. Accumulators and UPS printed circuit board installed, wiring completed and power on:





USB monitoring working too:



Part of printed circuit board with RJ-45 protection was deleted (lack of inner space)

Next time UPS table mount final assembly!

 

UPS table mount final photo

 

with a simple tools. it can be like this,,,, cool ...

 

3D model

Both turret and UPS-mount 3D model:









Colors show work progress:
Green – all ready
Yellow – in process
Red – even not start yet

 

When Mods Attack! This is some crazy stuff man. Not OSHA approved!

 

What is OSHA? Turret needn't to be certificated )

 

Paining, again

A lot of fresh painted parts photo.

Video card housing parts:






MB ports cover parts:



A “lighter” (turret visual sensor system to detect intruders in its sight line):


Its holder:


Turret back holder:


Arm swivel holder (joint UPS-mount and turret):


“Power ON” indicator (door eye detected


The one, on the place:

 

Turret’s gun

Well, its time to make turret’s gun.
Barrel – aluminum body from pocket flash, flame arrester –permanent marker cap, threading parts - indicator light, PVC tube – light diffuser (filled with silicon):

 

It's alive!

Finally, ready to test assembly. Doesn’t looks like a turret, but operable )

Testing area:


Front part of video card housing – target aimer with machinegun barrel. Red light – power indicator, blue light – hard disk activity indicator.


The one, in the dark:


PCI-e x16 riser used, 100mm length. Temporarily, turbine from video card housing now cooling CPU radiator (CPU cooler in the housing alongside):


Support for video card rear side:

Have to replace one 3’5” bay with two 2’5”


Hardware monitoring screen (open case):

 

Dang. This is really coming together. I can't wait to see it finished. Great build.

 

Great detail

 

The UPS looks like the real deal. This is going to look great!

 

Looking amazing, can't wait to see more!

 

Video card output box

HDMI and DVI video outputs, 2xUSB 2.0, Front Audio connectors, AC power 220V connector, Power and Reset buttons.
A lot of parts for assembly:



Assembly in process:







All ready:

 

Awesome progress on this, good to see it still coming together.

 

If Half Life 3 ever comes out, you should TOTALLY get a free copy from Valve. Great work!!

 

I'm disappointed we don't have an emoticon of someone drooling.

 

Visual sensor system

A visual sensor system (turret from HL2):



Rear parts painted:



Rear parts assembled:



Originally, this part has to detect intruders in its sight line. I used a domestic proximity IR sensor and controller with RGB-led.



RGB-led status (depending of the systems state):
• continuous green – no intrusion detected (no target)
• flashing red – intrusion possibility detected (searching target)
• continuous red – intrusion detected (target identified)


Generally, visual sensor system looks like outdoor camera with IR-backlight:






Assembled and mounted:

 

My god man!!! Attention to detail is off the charts INSANE on this build!!! So much win!! I'm starting to think you're going to make this into a real weapon!!!
