I'vw used alumninum sheets with variable thickness for teh turrets. 1.5 - 2
mms. Never tears or bends. Even the upper hulls of my designated Tankette
and HAGO are built of 1.5 and 2 mm thick aliminium sheets and you've seen
photos of these after battles. I am surprised to hear that. I am wondering
if the pan is in fact a sheet that has been deformed in the press and has
lost "cohesion somehow"

What thickness of aluminium do you use, Chrys? The turret of T055 is
made of alu (a chip pan) but it bends and tears when hit by
paintballs.

Or, just build a cardboard paper mock up, try all the shapes and angles,
cut with scissors, fit and hold them together with tape, then undo the
paper turret and copy the individual shapes in aluminum sheet. Cut with a
jigsaw.

Buy yourself a 1:18 scale toy off of eBay. It will be the best $30 you
will spend on the tank (and don't buy a battle switch, but that's a
different thread for another time.) 21st century makes the toy you want.

I what to make it out of wood first. If it come out then I'll make it
out of aluminum. I can't find all the right dimensions from a real
one. Like all the angles on the top of the body by the turret. Can any
one help with any part?
