Where did you get the black bucket? I checked Peeron and they say it only
comes in chrome, blue, and dark pink.

buckets

gave their lego lives, SHOCK and HORROR! I spray painted them black. I know, I
am really bad!
I need these cannons for my new ---- (its a secret!)
I guess you could leave a chrome muzzle-end on a black body.

BTW when I saw this post last night and the subject of disapering guns came
up I started work one one of my own with a disapering mechanism. It uses the
foward recoil from the cannon firing (plus another spring in the unit) to
work the mechanism. The whole thing is about 75% complete. I hope to show
pics here soon.

I look forward to it!
For me and the 1840s modeling that I am working on, my mount is much closer to
the period.

Not to worry Ive done the same thing with markers for some Star Wars figs.
what do think of my latest bad idea: Take a cut down lego rifle (the grey
kind) and attach the cut down end to a gray painted light saber handle to
produce a slightly more 1850s looking gun. Conversely paint the stock brown.
(this would not be a very big deal for me because I have more of rifles than I
can use and several damaged light sabers where the crome is coming off)
