Subject:

[Chapter] Chapter 6 - On to the turret

Date:

Oct 14, 2005

Hans Haase

Chapter 6 - On to the turret

Finally, an easy part. The turret basket assembly basically went together exactly per the instructions. While the details are a bit soft in parts, it is mostly accurate from what I have seen so far.

The gun breech is only fair quality. You have to supply and bend your own rods for the breech guard, and here I used the same green wire that is normally used for floral arrangements. I wish this stuff came in thinner sizes, because it is just the right stiffness for being easy to bend but hold shape well.
