LEGION 12 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share #39 Posted December 4, 2018 This has me curious one of the five turrents has this on the top antenna ? Canute, Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmagna Posted December 4, 2018 Share #40 Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) I would think given the time period that it was possibly a local gun control range finder for either that turret or possibly both of them. If I am looking right these are the stern most turrets. There may be another "antenna" located somewhere forward but not on the turret roof. It could also be a radio direction finder. It will be interesting what someone with real knowledge comes up with! Given the way the two turrets are aimed it looks like it is not working all that well anyway.

cog Posted December 17, 2018 Share #46 Posted December 17, 2018 Shading, it means you add dark and light sections on it before you overspray with the diluted colour, establishing depth and highlights. Now you have an even colour all over the turrets, whilst if you use shading, you add some artificial depth to them. HAve a look at this build: quite educational Canute, popeye the sailor, lmagna and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
