In this part of the tutorial we make the turret and then finish the assembly of the periscope.

The turret portion is critical but also very easy to make. There are just five parts.

Start by cutting and gluing your mirrored paper or card stock to part B.

Glue together the turret parts of A, A, and C like you see in the picture above.

Then glue the mirrored part B onto the assembly.

Finish the turret assembly by gluing on the final Part C.

And finish the periscope by gluing that turret onto the bearing.

Test it! Make sure the turret rotates freely and that you can see clearly through the periscope!

That's it! Have fun with your Ultimate Periscope!!
