Last month, I went to the Plains of Abraham battle site with my school. I
purchased a small cannon pencil shapener, and was looking at it tonight
thinking- "I should be able to build this from Lego bricks." I actually built
two. The first one I built measures about 13 studs long and 4 studs wide,
making it a large mini-fig scale weapon. It is mostly blue and white, and
represents the French. I decides I did not want to use the regular cannon from
so many Pirate sets, I would build my own. Using some black 2x2x1 cylinders,
an inverted roof brick and a bunch of Technic bricks (holes and pegs), I did it
pretty well. An Imperial Gaurd minifig, with a blue coat, stands by this
cannon. This cannon took a while to find all the parts for. After it was
done, I quickly made a second cannon. It is similar in size, and is red to
represent the British. I used the prebulit cannon for this one, mainly because
I has already knocked a few of these out of my Lego storage bucket, and wasn't
going to spend all that time finding three 2x2x1 black cylinders (my Lego is
completely unsorted). The good thing is that it is my special shooting cannon
from an old Soldiers set in the Pirate line (Saber Island). I have no idea why
these are rare, they aren't dangerous. The rest of the cannon consists mainly
of two 4x1x1 grey arches, three 4x1x1 red bricks, and four 3x1x1 red roof
bricks. Both cannons have two large brown wagon wheels to roll on.
Unfortuntely, I don't have a web site or a scanner to display MOCs, but I will
take pictures of these to save for the day that I do.

| Hi Bradley, Your cannons sound neat! Websites can be easily created for free in places like xoom.com or geocities.com, or (the best thing IMHO) just join lugnet (if you're not a member already) and use the awesome and easy-to-use FTX page editor (...)
