Square's British 6" gun turrets

Earlier this year I had a go at making a couple of custom turret shapes, figured I might as well post them so other people can use them if they want.

The first is the very distinctive triple 6" mounting found on HMS Belfast and many other RN light cruisers. I'm really happy with how it looks in game.
Here it is compared to the generic 6" dreadnought era mounts:

i also had a go at making the post war, autoloading QF 6" Mk N5 mounting. Not particularly happy with this one but thought I'd share it anyway.

The two turret files are in the attached .zip. They go in the game's Graphics folder where they replace any existing files with the same names. The triple mount is BDMT3 and the Mk N5 is BLMT2
