I have started to build the new turret and doing the Ball&Chain.
I read about the trouble Olivier had in his post and as I am using the ET set I have modified the assembly.
It is still not correct but it has improved things by a lot.
Instead of attaching the Frame underneath the basket I have fixed to the outside.
Now, I need some help; the ball&chain is free to swing and a slight puff wind and they move.
How can I spray without them touching each other and sticking together?.
I know many of you have done this in the past, so your advice would be very helpful...cheers....Kenny

The pictures in the previous post are deleted for some reason , so here they are
Painting & dusting is done.
The Ball&Chain is a bit of a problem, every time the model is moved they get into a bit of a 'tangle' and I am starting to loose the paint tho' having to keep 'untangling'LoL
I dont know why I have a slight Blue colour cast in the pics but I'm calling this finished.
Your comments would be appreciated...cheers....Kenny

Nice job Kenny !
How did you tackle the painting of the sights protected by the "grilles"? I guess you painted them before putting the protection in place.

Mr T, glad you could take a look, Thank you.
Oliver, Yes you are quite right except they are not painted. I used colour foil which is very reflective so I toned them down with a light dusting...cheers....Kenny
