Alan,

  Thank you very much!

 

The main structure of all six secondary turrets are done:

I need to clean them up, paint them all and make/add ladders & railings.

 

These have been very slow going.

 

Each of those turrets will have about fifty pieces each when complete.

 

That makes for approximately 300 pieces between the six turrets.

 

That’s just part of these models though.


I am enjoying this build very much!  It is a good challenge!

Mark,

  Thank you very much!

 

Half of the turrets are fully assembled with railings, handles and ladders now:

The shaping of those railings is tricky.

 

They still need painted and sealed.
