My two Cupola's are almost externally completed apart from a few rivets. I thought I would also share an easy way to heat solid rivets if you have a spot welder as it is far quicker than a forge, far cheaper than using an oxy set and very easy to use. These rivets take about 6 seconds to get to temp.

While I am waiting for some more mushroom head rivets to arrive I thought I would also get a start on the other opening on top of the turret which is a couple of domed hatches.
