20mm Medieval Turret #1
B20-MD-100
Please read these instructions fully before starting construction.
PVA or equivalent glue will be required to stick sections together.
Sand paper can be used to gently clean any joints.
A sharp modelling knife will be required to remove sections from the sprue. Please use knives with due care and remember
to cut away from yourself at all times.
During the construction of this model, you may find it convenient to use pegs / elastic bands to hold pieces in place while
you allow glue to dry.
You may find it easier to paint portions of this model BEFORE construction – please see the end of the document for info
about this.
Remove the inner structure pieces from the sprue
as shown above.
Glue them together as shown.
Note: the etched line on the short wall should be
towards the base of the model.
Take the two roof sections.
Glue them into position.
We suggest you now paint your roof (See below)
Take the frames as shown above.
Glue the side frames into place, then attach the
“I” frames to the front / rear so their bases align
with the etched line. The thinner side of the “I”
is the base.
Take the wooden insert pieces.
Glue them within the framework.
Then glue the white inserts into place.
The finished turret.
Painting
It is much easier to paint the insert sections of this building prior to assembly.
The wooden sections were left on the sprue and painted with a standard DIY garden shed wood stain.
The white sections were also left on the sprue and sprayed white using a car undercoat spray.
The outer frames remained unpainted.
The roof was fully assembled before spraying being sprayed with a black car undercoat spray.
If you would like a slate roof, then drybrush with a dark grey colour, before dry-brushing with a lighter grey (both DIY
emulsion).
If you would prefer a pantile roof, then drybrush with a chocolate brown colour before dry-brushing with a red colour (both
DIY emulsion)
