Mini Sentry Dimensions
I have searched high and low for the last week strait for something simple: The Dimensions of The Mini Sentry. I have been through source developer, sfm, hammer, ect, and it seems that all the buildings besides the mini exist. All that I want is at least the hieght of the little booger, and at most, a grid or points layed over an orthographic of it.
Now why do I want this SO badly? I am a robotics enthusiest that has acess to alumminum casting and milling machines. I plan to create an automaticly targeting airsoft turrent(using "project sentry gun"'s code as a base line. And this would be a very nice piece of work to put in my portfolio for colleges. Once I have the measurements i can make the technical drawings, cast the parts, cut what needs to be cut. and wire it all up. If there is ANYONE that can help me here, it would be much apreciated. Who wants to see a working mini sentry instead of the bigger prop that idles in valve's office?!

Is there any way you could figure it out by comparing it to characters in game?

I'd say you'd be able to find atleast one height for every merc.

Funny story: The Mini-Sentry is literally just a reskinned Level 1 Sentry, scaled-down in the game.

Gives a whole new meaning to "mini-Sentry"

It looks like it's around 2/3 the size of a regular sentry?
