Artizan Posted November 16, 2016 My entry for the Colossal Castle Contest 14, in siege warfare category: For the siege of Constantinople, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II(later remembered as the Conqueror) commissioned a Hungarian siege engineer to cast him a giant bombard, along with smaller other cannons. These cannons were instrumental in bringing down the Byzantine walls.

Japanbuilder Posted February 24, 2017 That is amazing. It is as if someone snatched these with a time machine, turned them into LEGO and took pictures =) I love the effect of the shot escaping the barrel of the gun. Very cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
