Making progress on my replica ft-17 tank turret. Gun assembly still giving me issues, needs shroud yet. The gun barrel is longer than it should be, but it needs to be to accommodate the armament. It is equipped with a 12guage shotgun for blank firing, and will be used as a bunker for ww2 reenacting. When emplaced I will dig a hole to sit it in, so you won't need the concrete blocks. The baseplate is still needed as it supports the rotation mechanisms. Paint is ongoing, will be in a ww1 pattern, but not quite there yet.
