Gunbox socket shrouds designed, developed and 3D printed by Tom's Refurbishments.
Developed using recognised plans as reference, these socket shrouds are based on Mk1 plans with a 95mm diameter opening on the gunboxes. The front shrouds supplied have a 95mm diameter opening with narrower openings on the rear shrouds to help prevent appendages "crashing" down when fitted into position. These shrouds are suitable for use with most builds using the Mk1 plans as a basis.
IMPORTANT:
Please note that these socket shrouds have been designed to suit 100mm spheres. Not all stainless steel spheres actually measure this and may be as small as 94mm. Please make sure that any spheres you have bought are at least 97mm in diameter before purchasing this kit to avoid appendages slipping through the opening. Any lower than this and they are likely to pop out of the sockets from the front when under pressure. A 3rd sheet of adhesive felt is supplied with this kit to help with packing out the socket padding for sphere at around 97mm in diameter.
Kit includes the parts as follows:
2 x 3D printed front shrouds (95mm opening)
2 x 3D printed rear shrouds
8 x M6 A2 stainless steel carriage bolts
8 x M6 hexagonal nuts
8 x M6 wingnuts
16 x M6 washers
2 X A6 sheets of self adhesive black felt
1 X A6 sheet of self adhesive white felt
These gunbox socket shrouds are designed to be fitted into your shoulder section build ideally with fibreglass resin and matting or with Isopon P40 fibreglass paste.

Toms refurbishment is one if not the best business that can provide you with recreated "prop" parts to a outstanding degree and would definitely recommend him as his speed in posting and the finish quality of the product is handled with such care. Tom himself is also very kind and encouraging and a pleasure to talk to. Thanks to Tom I have been able to start my dream of having my own personal "army" which would not be possible without parts provided by Tom.
Tom’s Refurbishments, the best for all things Sci-fi. The attention to detail, service and quality of the builds are 100%. Props made from accurate, strong and quality materials, Tom’s work really can’t be faulted. The communication between Tom is great too, a guy who listens and does what the client needs to the best of his ability.
Tom's Refurbishments is the first port of call for a variety of project/build parts and restoration. Tom's amazing attention to detail and love for all things "Sci-Fi" shows in his unrivalled quality in his work with many happy clients. Tom keeps excellent communication with his clients and is an absolute pleasure to work with.
I contacted Tom back in 2019 about making some improvements to my project so that I could take him to events and Comic Cons. Tom saw this as a challenge and found solutions which created a beautiful, reliable machine that works wonderfully and allowed me to attend the Queen's Jubilee Parade without any technical issues. I fully recommend Tom's Refurbishments and I intend to commission my other project with Tom in the near future.
