Capn Frank Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I like these very much. Probably the best and simplest design for land cannons. that's a nice looking cannon. only one minor problem is that i would use a Black Bar 6.6L (4095) instead of the long flag pole as the plunger thingy, Mr. Tiber. Hey is there an official calliber or weight of the round by how big the barrel is for legos?? 8-| i'm just curious if there is an accepted system that yous ppl use that i don't know about or if this should be a start of a new thread.

Capn Frank Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 (Wouldn't let me edit this into my last post here) :'-( Here is an image list of my cannons that I have currently built. a blurry pic of one of my railing mounted cannons. The barrels of these are now drk grey instead of white. similar versions of the same caliber of cannon. I Quote
El Bucanero Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 an obnoxiously huge carronade that I made for fun but won Quote
RTN LNA Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 has any one ever tried to build canons whith these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2489 perhaps they're too big? but what about a mortar?, like this: http://www.cascade.co.nz/larry/mortar.gif I made 4 carronades for the RTS LEGOMALEE's quarter deck trying to match the 6 on the real HMS TRINCOMALEE's quarter deck using black 2489s. pic1 pic2 more images at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=225619 kurt I've seen all of those pages before, plus I recommend:http://news.lugnet.com/pirates/?n=4180 (some of these Norro's links are here too). Thought I would add this link to this thread as it has a lot of cannons (most all ready discussed). God Bless, Nathan Glad you like Lugnet 4180 kurt Quote
Capn Kirk 911 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 If I need them I'll buy them on EBAY! ;-) Quote

Capn Frank Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 SO? NO ONE can answer this test question!! hmmm... ... let me try this eh six 2x2 round bricks; a bucket from everyone's favorite belville sets; a black xwing engine (though i dunno if it's painted or not?); a 3x3 cone that goes to 2x2 round; six 1x2 bricks with axel holes; 1x4 tile, couple of gear thingy's (one's big and the other is small); support thingy for the big gear; eight to ten misc technic beam thingy's with various shapes, axel holes, and pin holes; and how ever many axels that are required to hold the whole thing together *sweet* . I'm normally not very good at tests so hopefully i did ok. though i'm not very up on all the proper terms for each brick or very thorough for that matter :-D Phred Quote
Tordenskjold Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Hi there. I made this in MLcad. after seeing something like this on the deck of the Xebec mr dukeschunke made. look ok to me. at least it is small. so it can fit into a small hull or as the upper deck gun of a larger one. Quote

Hey i like that design X-D . My brother and I cooperately came up with that design. Here's a close up: Phred Quote
Tordenskjold Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Nice one Phred *y* I see that you have a round thing at the end of the gun barrel. what is that made of? I couldnt find anything like that on my mlcadprogram. Quote

ZCerberus Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Phred said I should put the little deck guns on the new covenant on here... they take up about the same amount of size as a regular cannon, but they worked pretty well on the Covenant! Quote

Hey Z, how did you mount the wheels onto the bottom? ya got any different moc cannons? Phred Quote
ZCerberus Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Hey Z,how did you mount the wheels onto the bottom? Well the wheels are 2x2 'dishes' so they are connected to the cannon by using technic bricks. The stud on the top of the dish is connected to the whole in the technic brick. ya got any different moc cannons? no... well... there are some swivel guns on the deck of the Sienna, but otherwise none.

The stud on the top of the dish is connected to the whole in the technic brick. Oh I see. That's why it has larger wheels. no... well... there are some swivel guns on the deck of the Sienna, but otherwise none. Got any pics? Quote
Capn Frank Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I remember seeing MOC cannons using this technic piece: I haven't been able to find the cannon for months. 8-| If i remember correctly, this cannon had smaller gears for wheels like this: The cannons weren't pictured by them selves but were on a ship. They're a lot smaller than the standard lego cannon in length. P Quote
RTN LNA Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Adding a post to link to my Tsar Cannon MOC it's not a 16lb-er, 32lb-er or a 48lb-er, NO it's a 1760 lb (800 kg) (that's the weight of the ball!) Cannon!! Maybe it could be indexed... click the pic: Quote
dsmithers Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Unless your building a special cannon, just buy some off ebay or brick link Quote
venios Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I was wondering how do you make swivel guns and lower calibre Cannons? Quote
