I am interested in making my own kannons instead of buying them and have done some research as what to use to make them. Most of them I found were not for me. What would be the most accurate thing to represent the kannon barrel? Keep in mind that I am basing my design off of the GW version (that looks the best). Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

I'm sure Im missing something, but what are kannons?

......I think he's trying to say cannon....never seen it spelled with a K. If that's the case....then you could pvc pipe....or toilet paper tubes for a big cannon, if you want big ___ cannon.

Kannon = Kill Kannon for Ork Wagons..

Here's a quick rundown on Kannons.

1) 2x wheels. Often able to be gotten in Civil War plastic army men, along with Kannon Barrels and such

2) Barrel and gubbins: Plastruct hard tubing, needs a saw to cut. (http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/OnlineProductDetail.lasso?-op='eq'&CCode=TB-3L) Also Kannons right from the army men. Use heavy construction paper coated in superglue to add rings and gubbins.

3) Plasticard for Blast Shielding. I find two layers finished on the edges with green stuff to be effective.

4) Grots. Also, shells and stuff for the base from wherever

@ Creon: I've got the blast shield covered and for the axle I was thinking of dial rod. What would you use for the kannon platform?
@ locustgate and humakt. Spelling things differently is part of the orks language.

 

[Creon]

Plastruct has square beams that work well for that.

I am trying to keep it to where I can pick anything up and use that I already have or just go the the local hardware store and get what I don't have.

i used some Ork Trukk parts and then the Kannon from the Battlewagon kit

i think there alright, i could put a pic later if you want

 

[ChaosSpaceMarineGuy]

That would be most appreciated.

 

[AngryCanadian]

ok then here they are

im going to make a third soon, with 3 ammo runtz and all the extra grotz too

hope this helps you anyways

 

[ChaosSpaceMarineGuy]

sure does help. My design is goin to be based off the gw ones. What is the length and width of your kannons?

 

[AngryCanadian]

there the size of the trukk axle,

i didn't cut them, i know there bigger than the $25 GW ones

but all the new kits are bigger, maybe someday GW will make some new models for them

basically i cut a segment from the trukk frame, attached the axle and wheels, glued a boarding plank to the bottom, armour to the front, and the new Kannon(battlewagon box) to the top, then painted some grotz

I just bought some extra trukk wheels for this very purpose. I'm going to use them, some BW bits, and some plasticard to attempt to construct 2 kannons and a lobba, so it's nice to see these!
