Well...a scale model of one, really. But it is made of metal. A real "steel beast"! Hahaha! :men_ani: ... Get it? ... It's funny 'cause, nevermind.

It started as two 4 inch sheets of laser cut steel:

Each piece has to be punched out, bent to the correct shape and then attached to the model using tabs/slots. The instructions say, "Needle nose pliers are helpful for assembly." HA! "Tweezers are mandatory" is more like it.

Here's the completed turret:
