Yeah found tube that's 100mm OD x 2mm = 96mmID
That will give me a couple more mm each side then a 2mm thickness.
Looking at the pic the turret housing looks a little thicker?
Maybe 2.5 - 3mm?
Cheers for the feedback fellas.
This is a Grail build, so am enjoying putting it together, finally.
Slowly but surely, like the others...
It will get finished.
But it won't be painted.
I want to see the science behind the structure.
The detail of the studio models always blew me away.
From the first time I watched it, from those first scenes I was trying to figure out how they made these realistically futuristic vehicles.
When I discovered it was from off the shelf model kits I was just dumbfounded & hooked straight away.
So this is a lot of fun.
