Review - Sentry Gun miniature equipment for Aliens board game from Gale Force Nine

If you'd like to use the sentry gun without the base, you either need to cut the tripod legs from the base, or you need to scratch-build legs for the separate gun. I think both involves a similar amount of work.

There are two guns in the game, A and B. There are letters included on the sprue you can glue on the gun to indicate this.
