Hello, I thought about how to improve on these, using plastic from a plastic bag cut and glued to the moulded bit of the barrel. I gave up on that idea! What I ended up doing was to liberaly to cover the 'bag part' in white glue, let it dry (well, almost, soft, clear and non tacky!!)
When it came to that stage, (not long)it looked OK, gave it a quick undercoat, but later on as I push the thing into the turret I found that that also pushed the soft coat of glue outward!
I then just used my thumbnail to mould creases on it, the only snag, as this was basically an 'experiment' , I tried to remove the barrel, but it is firmly stuck, nearly pulling the front of the turret off, you can see with the gap that has appeared!!
Anyway, I'll get it out, here's a few photo'si, s it better??, or should I not bother???............Dave
