Auto Credit Based on ManagedReservoir's GH.1 Thunderbolt MBT

heres my first attempt in making a turret for my second upcoming tank and i really love how it turned out in the end after making this compact auto turret with an ATGM installed on top of it, still trying to figure out what kind of hull ill make, again the base of the tank was not made by me but by @UnguidedCylinder and the rest by me, also accidentally made the shells look orange and not yellowish bronze as intended

    @RussOurs Thank you! Of course after a while and after you keep building you'll get the hang of it. My advice is check reference photos of actual vehicles, their dimensions and shapes and what not. It won't hurt to take inspiration of some real life vehicles and eventually you'll begin to create your own. I bid you good luck and am looking forward to your future builds!

    @UnguidedCylinder Damn what a progress youve made from making simple hulls to extremely good looking tanks, I really like how youve made your tank hulls and turrets and i can tell youve put allot of effort into them and ill try to build my own modular hull which is a tedious task but thanks for the encouragement and im glad that you liked the upgrade of your hull!

    @RussOurs the hull of this was indeed my first try at making a tank hull. My knowledge on tanks when building it was non existent and just based on pictures. I'm sure you'll improve as you go and will be able to build your own hulls. Am surprised and glad to see it getting upgraded!
