That turret was the only part of the T34 I didn't take pictures or take notes on!   If I recall correctly, a couple of layers of standard fiberglass tape were used around the sides.  In the front curvy sections several layers of 6oz. cloth were used.  The top of the turret is a piece of 1/4" ply.  After it was all said and done I felt it was a bit flimsy in the flat areas so I glued sections of 1/4" ply on the inner sides.
 
Frank was of great assistance when the T34 turret was gooped up (he did most of the work).  He may have a comment to add.
