Assin9, thanks for the reply. the core of the base is facing to the front in a level position and the barrel core is facing down the length of the barrel. if I turn the pivot for the gun to a vertical orientation and make the gun point to the front of the ship it works, but I want the gun pointing out the side not to the front....
the only other way will be to make the base in a horizontal position for rotation left and right but then it will ruin the look of the turret mounting.
Seems like I may have found a limit to how we can place these turret dockers.
