No. 1 turret on the left is shown assembled as instructed from the kit part and I was not quite happy with the result. No.2 turret is shown after some modification and paint.....still not true to the 1/1 but I think it is closer and makes a better presentation. At least as much as my limited...

Thanx for the tips on clear matte spray guys.....duly noted. Jim..... The barrel information you provide is quite informative.....and definitely not to late...haven't started on them yet. but will take your advise and try a few different methods.

I'm beginning the gun turrets today, but looking for advise regarding the barrels. JSC does not provide the barrels thamselves in the kit....only templates. I find it a little unusual, since the 1/700 DN Dreadnought provided (and I used) the paper barrels. Anyway, I'm looking for input as to...

It's a direct copy, rather than a scan, Brad. Re-sizing is not my area of expertise at this time. The copy on right looks cut off because the original is a little over the standard 8.5x11 that my copier accepts. Like you say, it falls in the category of a learning expierience. I am...

I have discovered a terrible error on my part. When I copied the parts on my Lexmark printer, the color registration went off to a lighter shade. You can see the original as printed on the left and the copy on right. Even in this less than great photo light, the difference is noticeable.. Due...
