Hi I'm back while the Oxford's varnish cures,
I continued with the exterior this time it's the turret 50 cal pulpit and the gun lock mechanism.
After shifting the 50 cal to the opposite side of the pulpit ring I added body stabilizing cushions...
Then I made the bits that are missing from the gun locking mech. with rod and strip plus some bolt heads, the end of the connecting rod is a little long will be cut. That's the exterior now to the interior...
I made a start on the gun sights...at the moment its just a tube with supports to be made. The bracket over it will be attached to the gun recuperating cylinder. It's made from thick plastic strip and reinforced with
Tamiya tube foil. Bolts were added as per reference. The long strip will be wrapped around the tube/sight once the CA anchored end is cured.
In keeping with Simon's tribute I have used metal sheets other than pewter twice for construction.
Cheers,
Richard
