I'm back in town.

I have worked very little this last ten days as I was on Holidays but managed to work some on the 3d model of the guns platform :

I reverted to the round platform type thanks to hunter's suggestion,

I modified it so it would actually be a gun platform on 3d struts, with the steps upfront like the real deal, the struts I still have to work some on cause they are shaped like the hull, hence curved, between the platforms.

I do this cause I want the water to flow through them and under the guns as you submerge or surface the boat, and not just have textures looking like there are struts.

I'll post pictures of the WIP tomorrow, but as this will cause me to have to redo the uv map for the whole of the platform don't expect to see perfect textures at first, and mine are only show texture as Sledgehammer427 will do the ones that will go with the mod.
