Laser Blaster Armour and Shroud
It's finally time to address the armour for the arm weapons. I've been putting this off long enough.
One of the things I have been noticing in many attempts to build one of these hulking monstrosities is the walls of the cannons (in this case Blasters) and the weapons armour is too thin.

As you look at the photos below, take note that the construction walls are very thick.
This affords a modicum of realism to the item rather than sticking a toilet paper roll into a turret and passing it off as a gun barrel.

Note how the walls of this construction are very solid looking. I would not try it but I'm pretty confident it would support my 16 stone weight.

I'm going to do something different with this shroud assembly and design and shape it whilst on the cannon assembly just to make sure its a proper fit.
So we'll start with a sheet of 0,50 mm styrene and reinforce it later from within.
Every time I do this I end up regretting it because building something outside/in is very difficult. Ha!
I just want to make sure it's a tight fit.
I had the same problem with the Mega Blaster.
