Weathering is next, eh? |
I replaced the tip of the barrel with a matching diameter aluminum tube, made a plug to fit it and used a piece of nylon thread wrapped around the barrel. No paint needed =P Oh and the periscope is nice and straight because I made it myself out of an aluminum tube. I actually turned the shape of the head of it from aluminum rod using an electric drill and a file and added the lens housing. The periscope tube also functions as a snorkel for the ballast air intake. There's a small hole drilled in it toward the top of the tube.
