Does anyone have a template for a naval cruiser turret in 1/35 scale? Does anyone have a guess where I could find one? I have tried to start one up but I can't get the angles correct for the pieces to join. My plan is to make a coastal fortification for a diorama.

Thanks and Semper Fi!

There is/was a series of books called "Anatomy of the Ship" that had (to varying degrees) plans of a number of ship types. I have the one on the HMS Dreadnought and it seems to have enough info to make a model from scratch. I got mine for a reasonable price from a remaindered book dealer.
