Here today I will show you how to build the 3 artillery cannons you see in the picture below.
From left to right: M1853 "Napoleon Cannon", Napoleonic Wars 12 Pounder cannon and a smaller Napoleonic Wars 6 Pounder cannon |
First step |
Second step. One BA monopod must hold the other one and the 1x2 modified tile must hold the first of them as shown above |
Now start using the 1x1 round plates with holes. Put the first one as the picture shows |
Now we do the same with the other wheel in the other side |
Must look like this |
Finished ! |
Now the next cannon. The little 6 Pounder gun. A fast and easy build.
Parts needed |
3L bar must join the Technic parts in the thickest part as shown 2 pictures down |
Now the same in the opposite side. The space left in the middle (of both sides) must allow the clip of an 1x1 modified tile to fit in the middle of the Technic parts |
Now the same in the bottom part |
Must look like that |
Now we build the barrel as we did in the previous cannon |
Now this little parts in the longest bar to separate the wheel from the tube |
Now we put the wheels in their place... |
... and the black 1x1 round parts at the end of each side of the bar to avoid the falling of the wheels |
Finished ! |
The last one will be my favourite. The 12 Pounder cannon.
The parts you need |
This is a cut tube around 2 cm long |
The tube must go inside the side holes and the 1x1 plate under the 1x1 modified brick as shown above |
The same we did in the previous cannon |
We add this Technic part to hold the barrel later. Doing it that way we will leave empty the center space to make a bucket hang |
Now we add a 1cm long tube with a 1x1 modified tile with the clip in the tube as you can see in the picture |
Now we do the barrel. The same we did in both previous cannons |
Step done |
Now the rest of the barrel |
Now we will add the wheels. First the black round plate as you see in the picture below |
Now we put the wheel... |
... and the round plate with the hole in the end of the bar as always |
Step done |
The same in the other side |
Now we put the BrickArms U-Clip we need in the handle of the bucket |
And we put in right under the barrel in the bar |
And finally another modified plate with the clip looking up |
Finished ! Vive l'empereur ! |
Finally guys let's clarify something. All the cannons have the same width of the barrel so you can use this trick below.
