Question Help! Have reached the limits of my capabilities.

Dear all,

As you may know I have been working on many different icons as of late for my mod - "WinSPMBT: das Reich".

Part of the project has included developing support vehicles for the Marder 1 APC. One such vehicle the "Begleitpanzer 57mm" has been causing me a lot of trouble. No matter what I do I cannot seem to get the turret on that damn thing right. It either ends up becoming too big or it gets to be the wrong shape etc.

I would therefore really appreciate it if one of the other more experienced icon designers on the forum could take a look at my reference materials, which will be provided here on the forum as links and also as an upload of the existing chasis, and produce a turret for it.

I have worked together with some of you before in a limited capacity and have always been most grateful for assistance. A list of those who helped me out with the mod has been compiled and when it is finished - icons finished, loaded into the game files and German OOBs updated - I will be sure to give credit where it is due.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can spare some time and give it a shot.

N.B.: I have provided several turrets from additional vehicles so that whoever has a go at it can get an idea as to what sort of colour scheme I am working with. I have also added my attempt in a second file. These files may be of some use to anyone who wants to have a go. I am not especially pleased with my icon.
