Did some primer and paint work. Lots of details left. Have not even started the interior of the turret, but it is starting to come together.

Don't know the common way to do this, but here's what I came up with. Two sizes of tubing and one solid rod.

Image

The shell is just the outer tubing sanded down for the neck/shoulder and the other end heated and pressed to form the rim. The projectile is all three sanded down to shape.

Image

The left two are the 90mm that come with Nick's resin turret for the M36. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good "brass" paint?
