Mister Phes Posted October 28, 2005 Count Sneffy? Oooooo! A nobel man! Well done! Ok Count, fetch me that image, NOW!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamweb Posted October 28, 2005 I just remembered I have a few gray barrels myself, however it's this kind of barrels, or should I rather say containers or rubbish bins: I don't think they would look good as parts of a cannon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 28, 2005 Ahhhhhh the good old trash cans. I'd imagine their handles would look a bit strange on the cannon, unless they can be removed. I don't own such pieces so I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norro Posted October 30, 2005 A nice custom! I like it all except the fire piece... Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted October 31, 2005 Count Sneffy, have you placed these cannons on any ships yet? If so, how well did they fit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted October 31, 2005 Count Sneffy, have you placed these cannons on any ships yet? If so, how well did they fit? i'm sorry, pirate... i can't find my one and only lego cannon! :() *sing* i looked everywhere... i also can't find the soldier of the same set... my guess is they both took off to conquer the world... :P i've been looking around on the internet to find a pic i can compare it with, but i haven't been succesfull... this means i'll have yet another good look around the house and if i can't find one, i'll just buy one on bricklink. i don't have a hull, but i do have something else in mind, an idea i had for my eurobase 2005 module, but as you know, that never saw the light... i think you guys might like it ... so.... stay tuned!

Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2005 Well the Inquistion is too busy hunting Aztecs these days to pay attention to what the pirates are doing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2005 Whose intimidating prescence, the Aztecs' or the Inquisitions'? We figured the Aztecs intimidated everyone but us, so that's why we're hunting them down. They're a quite violent race you know, so don't be ashamed to feel intimidated by them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2005 But what's this got to do with with Count Sneffy's cannon going AWOL? Its not like his cannon exists on this forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted November 3, 2005 hm... my custom cannon didn't go anywhere, my real lego cannon did. anyway, not so very patient pirate, i've made a small moc with the custom cannon. the pic isn't brilliant, but here it is: i especially like the trees :oD i've always thought that the lego palm trees were nice but not really in scale with the minifigs. I mean, many of these tropical trees are huuuuuuge. so i thought, let's see if we can come up with an alternative... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2005 Pirates aren't patient! That looks like an interesting MOC. You could take a few more pictures of it, some close ups would be good, a couple of different angles, etc and start a new thread. If you wanted to... It you really really wanted to...

snefroe Posted November 3, 2005 1) hm... you're such a difficult man to please, pirate, but I'll show some sign of good will and take some more pics tomorrow. 2) remember you asking me to take a pic of the custom cannon and a real lego canon? I can't do that as long as i don't find my real lego cannon... i missplaced it somehow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 3, 2005 1) You needn't take anymore pics if yer don't wish too. I just thought your creation deserved a thread of its own rather than being buried 40 posts down in another thread. And unless you've got a primitive digital camera, or an even more primative film camera (and unless I'm not mistaken) its quite simple to take many pictures and upload the best ones within minutes... 2) I forgot all about that :-D I thought you meant you lost your custom cannon.

Norro Posted November 4, 2005 Nice MOC! I like your custom trees better than your custom cannon (which is also good)! Barrels are far too valuable a commodity for me to try this solution in a MOC though... I also like the various shades of the sea, very nice! Do you have other pirate MOCs?

Mister Phes Posted November 4, 2005 Why are you creatures so shy about creating new threads to display your MOCs? As soon as I get my mitts on a digital camera yer all gonna be in trouble! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snefroe Posted November 4, 2005 thanks for the comments! i posted the moc here because it wasn't really meant to be a real moc, just a diorama to see if the custom cannon would "work" in a pirate scene, that's all... nope, i don't have other pirate mocs, in only have three pirates and 1 officer, so the options are kind of limited :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 5, 2005 Diaoramas, vignettes, mock-ups, experiements, etc are still MOCs or ideas in development and its interesting to see how they evolve over the course of time. Despite being "just a diorama to see if the custom cannon would 'work' in a pirate scene" I'd be interested in seeing more pictures involving close ups and different angles - and no doubt someone else might as well. If you don't want to take more photos or create a new thread thats fine. But, it would be a shame that we couldn't get a more detailed look at this interesting creation.

Norro Posted November 6, 2005 Thought I would add this link to this thread as it has a lot of cannons (most all ready discussed). God Bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
