diamond9 Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 I managed to get a few hours in today. I used the Eduard masks for the ball turret. The resin bits are from the verlinden set. The doors are from paragon, I'm only going to use the the front door and the large main door. Gary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrovski Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ball turrets simply superb mate. I've seen quite a few of these done in getting reference for my build and yours has the best/sharpest lines between the glazed areas and steel structure well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond9 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Cheers buddy. Considering the whole turret comes as a clear part i'm quite pleased with it. The masks were a bit were a pain to put on, this time i made sure that i run a toothpick around the edges to make sure there was no paint creep. How is the Belle coming along mate ? Gary...

diamond9 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just had a go on the chin turret, i've tried to replicate the seal inside the turret with some masking tape. It sort of worked. Gary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond9 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Had a bit of crack on with this today. I've just got to get the waist gunners sorted out then I can close it up. I'm not putting the bombs in the bay because they are going on the bomb cart that comes in the kit. Gary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
