Dwarven "Big Boomer"

[Nightstalker]

When the Fallgrad Alliance needed a relatively small siege weapon, the dwarfs of Faermoore were eager to give them the "Big Boomer." While it may not be the biggest (or baddest) siege weapon of Faermoore, the "Big Boomer" has seen more action because it is easily transported and manned by a small team of dwarfs. This weapon is primarily used for taking down walls, although with a quick change of projectiles, it can be used to take out large groups of enemy forces.

Ammo is usually loaded from the side of the cannon (along the barrel), while the activation mechanism comes from behind. It simply requires some black powder and a fuse.

Front View: allows for fire or red plant placing to show it is actively firing

Back View with firing mechanism, the rotor raises the cannon slightly (did not actually build that function)

FIRE!!!

Unfortunately, I seem to be lacking black flags, so the top flag had to be dark blue. Meh :/

Hope you all enjoyed the MOC

As usual

C&C is always welcome and appreciated!!!

Very cool! Never thought those barrels could be turned into a gigantic blunderbluss, well done. Dwarves are some of my favorites, good to see some of their creations. Also, in that last pic awesome use of Hagrid's beard over that armor. Looks like a pretty solid combination I might steal borrow for my own use some day.

Love it! Smart and nicely build!

This is rad! Great idea and super-fun execution. I want to build one.

This reminds me of Warcraft 3 with the dwarven cannoners. Very cool MOC!

Really great design. Love it!

[Hobbythom]

Awesome build! If this were a set I'd be tempted to buy a few. Put it on Cuusoo!

[Lordofdragonss]

Looks gloriously dwarfy!

[Alfadas]

I like it, I have build a dwarf cannon too, but yours look much better! Mine is smaller, and its use is to take down gates.

Excellent MOC! Full of Dwarven style.
