Do you turn turrets

[martin goddard]

When playing PBI do you rotate the tank turrets on your models?

No. For two reasons:

1) if they could turn, they'd probably fall off and hurt themselves, so I glue mine on
2) I prefer playing with my StuGs, which don't have turrets

Yes on the tanks I have with loose turrets. In fact I've done this today (playing AK47 though!)

My new Utalians have the turrets glued down to save on damage.

[John Watson]

Mostly no. I stick a lot of them down.

A turret teasingly turned to the side can look really good.
My Panthers look very menacing when the gun length can be seen overhanging the hull side.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Totally agree, Martin.

But they can also be glued in such a position

Magnets are your friends...

Agreed for plastics, Mike.

A bit trickier with the PP metal models.

Simon

I try to do almost any tank. Resin and plastic are easier, but metal can be done. I don't worry about big tanks like (Tiger) but on little tanks it's helpful. I've been gaming WWII for 30 years so I have a good mix plastic, metal and resin.

I'm a turret turner.

[martin goddard]

Agreed Nigel. It just looks better.

Magnets would,d work on PP models ? If you Green stuff the hole. Make sure one magnet is in there ? Cut the Turkey
T spindle the same height of the turret, the in full with Green stuff and magnet. Make sure you have the "poles" the correct way to each other ? You might need an Adult for this bit ? Hey presto !
