I just made a couple of casts for the turret. THEY CAME OUT GREAT !!!!!!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
.
But I have decided tomake the turret hatch . I was trying to pull a fast one and not do it because I would have to make it operate. I will work on that all day tomorrow and hopefully get it casted. If I can get that done I will be ready to take orders !!!!.
Hopefully I will have time to take a few pics of the casted parts tomorrow

If you can send one to me I can see if I can do a match up.

I have a prototype one-shot that has a removable turret on it. I could send you it. I'm amazed more people didn't buy them up. I'll post pictures of my modded Hasbro Humvee Friday.
either way, you might get a few more orders from the Joe sites if they fit!
let me know!

I think that I can do $8 for the .50 cal with 2 extra ammo boxes and $10 for the GL with 2 extra ammo cans.
Here is the finished turret master with Tow rocket socket plug. I also thinned out the hatch cover a little it was a little thick looking.
Here is the turret freshly painted using Home Depot paint !!!!!!

I am not sure but I think that it will work for that. I know it will fit on the G I Joe type Humvee. Is it the same one ?

Any chance of see a full Up-Armored Kit for the 21st Humvee. The only thing holding me back from getting this kit, is the inaccurate grill on 21st Humvee. I just can't see upgrading the turret, and leaving the grill as is.

I know the grill looks like pooh pooh on the 21st Humvee. The only thing was the headlights that kept me from doing the grill.
I am not sure how I can replicate the clear concave lenses. I could do opaque and you guys can paint them silver . But that would not look so good.
Or I can make the grill and maybe you guys can pop out the 21st headlamps and use those in the empty sockets.
How does that sound ?

I think the .50 cal was off a FOV Sherman. I am not sure I had it laying around. The grenade launcher was barrowed from a buddy.
I had made mention of making copies but no one seemed to be interested in them so I dropped the idea.
