RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build
It's been a long slog, but the turret is almost finished, just a couple details to add and a top coat of grey "rustoleum." All that's left to do on the MG mount is the "pilar" that attached to the MG and slips into the hole in the base block. I can know appreciate how you WWII builders feel with all the sanding and priming and sanding and priming. I can't imagine having to do that on any entire model! It's still not completely perfect, but it's as good as it's going to get. The arms are made of 3mm aluminum tube and the little elevating arm is made from one of the kit's fittings a slice of 4mm brass tube and the ball bearing from that mini-caster I was playing around with a couple pages ago.
All in all, my MG mount looks a bit "beefier" than in the photos. That's the result of my engineering limitations in 1/6 scale.
