Been working on the turret.It's going pretty well,though the Bustle Rack is being a bit fiddly.

The bustle rack was a pain. A lot of gluing and waiting for things to dry before moving to the next part.

The Turret is 98% done. I need to leave some parts off so I can place the decals.

That's it for now. Should have my new compressor today.

Yes, I bet the rack was tricky since the rails are probably very fragile in 48th.
