Funny guns

[lego fox]

over the years I have been unabel to collect Lego cannen up untill the resent relees of the new Lego Pirates line, so I have been stuck collecting serriget cannen. the problem wih this is that guns that meet at leest my standerds are few and fare between. I have been wondering if eney one eals has had theyes difficalteyes and if you have had to stoop to going to non Lego arms, or at the leest thought about it wene seeing somthing that fits the bill.

Belowe are the onley ones that I've been abel to scrong up over the years.

Ferst The Pensal sharpener. You could put an Eye out with that.

And Second From the fish tank. I think that the pouder got wet.

I hope to hear that I'm not the only one with this probelm and sulotion.

Well they don't actually look out of place with the minifugures. I like lego with lego better myself but this seems to work pretty well to my eye as an alternative. Nice job.

I like lego with lego better.

Lego with Lego does look better, but what your doing looks fine too.

[Captain Green Hair]

I'd love one of those pencil sharpeners on my desk, but not with my lego, no thanks.

The one from the aquarium looks a bit silly and would tip over if it were real i think, the barrel is just too heavy for the carriage.

Hope you are able to get some of the new Lego cannons, as they go much better with the figs i think.

[Captain Blackmoor]

I agree with the good captain, I think they are awesome accessoires for the desk but not with LEGO. They just don't fit with it.

I think it's a better idea to make your own brickbuilt cannons if you don't want the official LEGO cannons.

And could you please resize your pictures to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels, otherwise people with slower connections can't load the pages. A tutorial on how to do so is in the tutorial index, link is in my signature.

Thanks!

I don't think it's easier to get 20 of these instead of 20 lego cannons, it shouldn't be so hard to get them, just take a look at bricklink.com (but these look also great, especially the one with the weapon of Amsterdam

[Captain Blackmoor]

especially the one with the weapon of Amsterdam

I didn't even noticed that! Although the barrel is too large for the base. It would collaps due the barrel's weight.

You found some interesting alternatives. Now that the official ones are so easily available, I'm sure you're stocking up, but I'd also suggest visiting the Cannon MOC Index to see pictures of lots of brick built cannons that you could use to add some variety to your armies.

I did this as a kid with some toy cannons, but with Cannon Battle being so affordable, there really isnt a reason anymore, is there? Also, the brick built cannons are getting better by the day, and many of those builders encourage people to use their designs! I have plenty of cannon, but have considered using some of the brick designs.

I admit that thay dont fit well with Lego, but thay have alwase been in my reseves. Thay were never the ferst thang I went for wene bilding sumthing. But buying stuf on line has never been an option for me. My grandperrents dont like my hobbey and I dont have a way to trasfer founds elctronicley. and on top of that I dont have much muny after bills eneyway. So all I can do is slow and stedy. And about the one frome the fishtank I just havent gotten arownd to bilding a biger cerrig yet. But thanks for commenting
