Well the turret is pretty much done now. Chance at the end I might come back for a few extra details but for now I am moving on to the next thing.
So Rokkit Launcha added, vent added, access hatch and ladder added.
The turret base was riveted and had a vent added. This base will next be glued to the deck itself and more detail added around it - hence no rivets on the sides at the moment.
And with the guns in place:
According to my records* the turret and base have 486 rivets. Which to be honest is a bit silly. But anyway the running total...
* Yes, I do have records of the rivets added to the tank. And yes, this is a very sad thing to have.
H..how...

DeleteAt the beginning I thought 4033 was a good number, not so much now.

4033 was always going to be under...I once did 500 rivets on a Chimera conversion...
