Merrimac 16 finished front

I had some struggles with the gloss finish on the casemate. The clear gloss lacquer didn't really give a uniform gloss. the results looked downright awful. Eventually I gave up and brushed on gloss black enamel. The results skyrocketed from "Ack it's ruined" to "meh." I photographed the model to avoid reflections off the casemate that show off how awful it looks.
