The material for the base is 20mm thick and apart from milling them into a perfect circle I also had to divide them in 8 sections and them machine a bevel at each section. I assume it is for water run off or something. The rod you can see is 40mm dia which is machined and recessed into the base plate. I still need to slot the rods for the cupola sides. These little things are about as much work as the turret that they sit on. At least by the time I get my curved plated I should have these done so that's a good start.
