Royal Navy 4.724" MkVIII Gun Animation 

After many months of communication with archives, modeling, rigging, animating, rendering, and some editing, this thing is finally done.
This is my best attempt at modelling the 4.724" mkVIII naval gun fitted to the Royal Navy's Nelson-Class Battleships. It is based on the original Vickers drawings and a few photos, with a bit of educated guesswork where neither drawings nor photos were sufficient. I couldn't find a handbook for this specific mount so I'm still not entirely sure how all of it still works, particularly any of the dials and instruments. I think I've got a basic understanding of all of the larger mechanical functions though.
Now to put 4 of them on the hybrid carrier.
