meschepers Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hey everyone. I am building a minifig scale sloop and I have everything thought out except how to make good looking swivel guns for the deck. I figured someone here could give me some pointers. I really do appreciate the help. When it is finished I will get some pics up. Quote
iamded Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 What's a sloop, and what're swivel guns? Could you perhaps give us reference pics? ~Peace Quote
Tarfful Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) What's a sloop, and what're swivel guns? Could you perhaps give us reference pics?~Peace This is a swivel gun: And a sloop is a fast and small ship favorited by pirates for its manuverability, if someone wants to expand on my relatively small knowledge of sloops go right ahead. :-) Reference pic of a sloop: Hope that helps. Oh and I have no theorys on how to create swivel guns, sorry. ;-) A Wookie general who knows next to nothin' about ship building, General Tarful Edited February 27, 2008 by GeneralTarful Quote
TaltosVT Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hey everyone. I am building a minifig scale sloop and I have everything thought out except how to make good looking swivel guns for the deck. I figured someone here could give me some pointers. I really do appreciate the help. When it is finished I will get some pics up. This photo shows how I added swivel guns to my flying Steampunk ship: The nice thing is that they swivel up and down as well as side to side. Other photos of the ship, including other shots of the guns, are here. -Elroy Quote
DJ Force Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 That would be just the way I would have build a swivel gun myself. Only I would have tried to make it a little bit longer, ant with a bigger ....er.... "coney end bit", whatever is the right expression for that part. Quote
ZCerberus Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I would consider going to the PIRATE forum and looking in the MOC and Accessory Index there. Click this link to be taken to the index page. There is also an entire index of pirate ships for other ideas for your sloop. I must admit though, I think TaltosVT's swivel guns are some of the best I've seen. Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted February 27, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted February 27, 2008 @TaltosVT: Your swivel guns are very good! I agree with Z, they are the best we've seen till now. I'll make sure to tell this to Phred so he can add them to the Index: MOC Cannons. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Very smart cannons indeed, i might have to stee...err borrow that idea X-D Quote
