What scale are you working in? And what sort of info do you have on the turret?

Well, There is no easy way to do it. The hard way usually is the easy way. This would not be that hard to do. You just need to scale it up and then replicate it. I will be doing a M113A2 turret for a Mr. Pierce . The rounded Nam era style. This would be a little easier to do than the rounded one that Mr. Pierce wants me to do. Almost like a baby Wirbelwind turret with a gun sticking out of it. If you look at the start of my wirbel thread you can see how I pieced together the turret. This would be a start.
