A very detailed entry! One of my favorites :pir-wink: The cannon on the chains is a nice touch including the roof.

Looking good exotrator.

The roof technic is great and looks really well on your building.
In a small room everything you need to make a cannon, what more do you want?

Keep it up. :thumbup:

Great entry. As already said, the roof in combination with the color of the rest of the building in really nice. I also like the detailed interior you made and the little canon design.

Awesome!

While I had seen this roof technique before, that orange (with the occasional brown) really gave it a realistic terracotta roof tile look.

I have to say this is one of my favorite entries as well! Great work! :pir-classic:

That looks great Exotrator! That roof technique is awesome.
The whole building is nicely done, a nice interior and exterior.
Very good job! :thumbup:

Truly a beauty of a MOC, Mate! I love all the detail you packed in, and the roofs are beautiful, truly a wonderful technique. Nicely done, and keep bricking :thumbup:

It's so small, it would take years if the navy orders all the guns for a ship of the line :pir_laugh2: But ofcourse you're just following the rules.
And you did a great job on that! The roof is very nice (I like the colour!) and so is the hanging cannon.
For the rest it has some fine details and other small objects.
Good entry :thumbup:
