Chapter 2: Up-gunning the Turret
The T15E1 cannon required external recuperator springs with mountings and a counterweight at the rear of the turret. I estimated lengths and diameters of the springs and their mounts from available photos. I fabricated them from styrene with brass actuators. The mounting points were just carved styrene. The turret counterweight was just lots of trial and error building with various thicknesses of styrene until it matched up to known photos. I added an aluminum-turned barrel to top everything off. |
