    So, a while ago I got TLK Voyager Hound, (He's an amazing figure, I highly recommend him.) and I really wanted a big gatling gun for him. I'd looked around at some 3rd Party upgrade kits, and even looked into buying AOE Hound's guns, but decided I'd rather not spend money, and settled on just using the guns he came with. But then... the idea struck me! Why not build it out of LEGO? And so I did! And today I am here to show it to you all.

    So there you have it, Hound's LEGO Gatling gun!

    Are the rubber bands required to hold it together or for looks?

    Heheh. Glad you like it! :D 
    Oh... Who knows... None of the parts are too rare, though.
    Well, mostly for looks, but it does hold it together slightly. I figured, since I was building it for TF, why not cheat a little? :p 
    Thanks! :D  I just might!

    You can use Bricklink to get the parts individually.

    Hello everyone! I now bring to you... A tutorial! Hopefully this helps. :) 

    IMG_3978.JPG So first you start by building these sections.
    IMG_3979.JPG And put them together...
    IMG_3980.JPG
    ...like so.
    IMG_3981.JPG Next, you build these sections for the back end.
    IMG_3982.JPG Pop 'em together.
    IMG_3983.JPG Here's the slightly tricky part. Set two 1x2 smooth plates in the back like so...
    IMG_3984.JPG
    ...And then wrap a small rubber band (I use rainbow loom bands.:lol ) once around the assembly, from the back to the front.
    IMG_3985.JPG Next, take another band and wrap it around the two plates a few times.
    IMG_3988.JPG And finally, take the first rubber band you put on it and pull it forward, and put it between the three barrels.
    IMG_3989.JPG Then, take the back section, and insert the black pole into the front section, in between the three barrels, not in the back of the bottom barrel.
    IMG_3993.JPG
    And finally...
    IMG_3994.JPG
    Take two more bands and wrap them around the barrels (three times each) like so.

    There it is. Enjoy! (Also, if there's anything that you can't figure out, just let me know. :) )
