First Casting
This was a "squish" mold, meaning that resin is poured in and the two halves squished together. Once set, the sides are pried apart and I had a casted Geschützeturm. They both required a lot of cleaning up, but it was a lot easier than making two identical Geschützeturme from scratch.

28cm Geschützerohr Master
As I cannot afford a lathe, my good friend Peter Lienau came to my rescue once again, and kindly offered to turn a barrel for the 28cm main Geschützerohr (gun barrel) for me in Germany which was fitting, as the orginal barrels were made in Germany as well.

Peter did a typical superb job; the brass master was clean and in perfect dimensions. This was a simple one-piece mold, and they turned out beautifully. I had four identical perfect barrels ready for the main turrets.
