Since your Sherman doesn't have a turret yet.... put a tiny pillow on the top of it... and it can serve as the ring bearer
Congrats Brizo

Hi CH,
will there are 6 posts to take off you could make them yourself but I will use the ones already there.
Once I have my turret I can line up the motor and rollers. Here's a photo I found shows you how to do it. Hope it helps
