Further, the front of the cut rectangle to make a neat hole for the gun. Rolling a tube for the gun, it should be inserted in the turret to connect the two parts together. Then you have to cut out of cardboard a small circle, it will serve as a hatch in the tower. In the turret itself, on top, you need to cut a similar circle. Then glue the edge of the circle of cardboard on the tower, so it was in the form of an open hatch.
