Update. Assembly of the model. The textures are not realistic. It is not aged.

Heinkel111,

This is a great subject. I really look forward to seeing your progress on this project. Thus far it looks good. ...age will come.

looks mighty fine to me so far! You can always include a "new" and an weathered version in the same kit

I agree, great choice of subject! Looking forward to seeing how you do on this one.

WOW! I love the wide range of different types of models that people are willing to design. This is just another reason why I love papermodels!

I like it. Looks like a Steampunk propane tank. This will be
fun to watch unfold.

Looks really good. Just a suggestion, try unfolding it as vertical strips rather than the stacked cones you are doing now. Combine three or four of the model's wooden strips together into one strip to lower the parts count. Then you can add the barrel bands as separate pieces. This would more realistically represent the actual construction method and all the seams would run where the original Turtle had seams. Just a thought, take it or leave it. Still this is a subject that I've been interested in making for a long time. I made a simple model if it when I was in middle school.

Some believe the Turtle's hull was actually carved from two pieces of wood. As none of the original design documents exist all is speculation. This is a great project, I look forward to seeing the finished model.
