Turret #1 finished - #4 almost
Here's a quick photo update of my progress...
I've finished #1 turret as you can see in the first photo. I've worked the last few days on the fourth and final main gun turret (#4). I'm about 80% complete with it. You can see the progression below. I've only some minor details to add and it will be complete.

Thanks a lot Barry. That means a lot coming from you...
For the grays, I use Prismacolor brand "cool gray" markers. They come in shades from 10% to 90%. I use mostly 40% through 80%. These are pricey little markers. About $3.50 USD most places, but I found a place that sells them for $2 USD. For reds, I use a Sharpie brand red marker. For all markers, I use a light, grazing motion when I edge color, so that I don't bleed. Once markers are broken in well, you can put some pressure on them. For other special colors, I use Prismacolor brand colored pencils. I have a 30+ rainbow pack of colors. They suit most odd shades or colors.

Main Turrets Finished!
Thanks Don!
I've finished the last of the main guns. Here is a shot of #3 and #4 pointed off the port side, ready for action. I've now got some clean up work ahead of me. Lots of white spots to kill on the aft deck before I can move on to the catapults, planes and crane. I'll be building hatches and vents for the next few days and I'll start the #3 turret catapult then.

Thanks Don and Barry... I've spent the last couple days building vents, winches, deckhouses and hatches on the aft deck. I've completed almost all of those. I should have some photos up in the next day or two.
Then I will begin the turret #3 catapult.
