That cupola is a jewel! Love the indentations that each bezel sits in. I'm not sure that a company would cast those in with such detail and finesse.

Taking it slow I've managed to get the Loader's Hatch just about done. The cover for the Loader's Periscope has a lot of details to it.

I also completed the Turret Ventilator cover done as far as I can until I mount it.

A clubmate of mine in TF72 built the super structure for his 1/72 Yamato using that sandwich layer technique then sanded it to shape!! He is a former house builder and figured it was the simplest method........the thing he found later was it weighs a ton luckily he was able to trim up on the inside to reduce the mass..

Great work Barry glad to see you are on the mend.

Cheers Bruce
