I've been a little slow working on this due to the holiday season but I've gotten some small and a few large tasks done.
I used epoxy to join the top and bottom turret halves together then smoothed the seam by sanding and bondo. I started to really make it smooth but then realized that it's a 'cast' turret so I blended it with the original 'cast' finish on the rest of the turret.
It's been nice WARM weather around here so I've been trying to get as many things painted as I can before winter shows up!
I ordered a small geared motor that turns at 5 rpm and I made an elevation system. I installed the turret traverse drive and ring.
I would have a lot more detail parts on the turret but I still have to install the side pistol port and THAT will be a JOB and things might get knocked off.
You KNOW how a builder can work HOURS on some little detail part (that no one would probably even NOTICE!) and when that gets done things look like ya haven't did ANYTHING!
Just wanted to give ya a quick update on how it's coming along. I'll get back in the build mode and 'pick up the pace' after New Year's'!
