<p>Wow, these models are amazing - not only the gun turret but all the rest as well! I will definitively look into those. It might take a while until I find the time to get to build these, but still...this is awesome! If I ever make one, I'll make sure to post the pictures here!</p>

<p>Ideally, I'd like to add schematics of the Battlestar Raven later, that include all weaponry and divide the batteries into Battery Detachments, too! When that time comes, it would be great to get advice on how these things are treated in general and during operations so far. After all, communication is key during operations for all units of the Colonial Fleet!<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Col. Keith "Leonidas" Ranson said:…</cite></p>
