Thanks Mike
Found a permanent marker with the right diameter, and cut it to length for the stowage box.
Made the bands out of thin styrene-strips super-glued to the tube

Next to it you see the hatch for the tube, here is a pic of the inside of it, trying to figure out how the hinges will look :hmmm

TICHY TRAIN ! They make Awesome Nuts & Bolts & washers in Styrene. Now even though it's for HO scale trains. Don't be fooled. They can work for what you are doing !! They offer different scales too - from N scale to O scale. You'll be able to find it & I think you'll see it reasonable priced !!

The "Power Cable" looks Awesome ! Great Eye for Detail !!

Just take round stock, sand off sides to either 4 side or 6, and then cut them to size.

Then again, you could get with these guys.

I've gotten several bags of their products, simulated bolt heads, real ones. threaded rod, screws, they even have little itty bitty nutdrivers for those itty bitty nuts.... :dance

[Bagge]

Had some time to sit with the models and this is where i am right now

Started to make a ammo-basket that can be lifted up, and then loading the shells into the gun.
it will have a crane ontop of the gun with an electric hoist.

The start on the electric hoist
