Re: Republic of Texas
Looks promising. Could you post one of the turrets on its own?
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

Re: Republic of Texas
The Main Battery turret, as requested:
Turrets are a challenge because the tolerances are so tight, especially in the gun chambers where there might be 2-3 inches between the bulkhead and the gun...not easy with a pixel line that is technically 6 inches wide.
These represent 16"/45s with 15" face armor and 7" armor on the roof and sides. I had to manipulate the barbette interiors after setting them on the hull, so there are additional shell rings in some cases for the superfiring turrets.
Its is more of a sketch to lay out major components instead of a final drawing.
