Spud The Viking Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Medium Factory: Footprint 1024 studs in Quinsville With more exciting prospects in Corrington, more cannons need to be made to protect Her Majesty's land and citizens. Workers are busy making the cannons, pouring the iron into the mould. Once this cools it is removed and the inside is hollowed. The cannon carriage is painted and assembled. Finally, wheels are brought in and put on. A variety of cannons are made here, ranging from 3-pounders, 12-pound howitzer to a mighty 24-pound howitzer. The foundry is guarded by two conscripts.

Kai NRG Posted May 19, 2018 Great cannon foundry, Spud - you did a great job with the details which is definitely the name of the game on a MOC like this! I really like that cannon design too, and showing the parts being painted red takes it to another level! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted May 20, 2018 Aha... you built it! I believe Corrington now has more cannon foundries than everyone else combined... Nice layout. I like the contrast of that red roof with the tan base. And all the various detailed elements really liven it up. Good job with the different cannon designs, both barrels and carriages. The pouring method is really old, comparable to the early days of exploration. It's cool to see some variety in that regard. The lone off-color roof piece is somewhat distracting, and I think the fence would look more balanced with a lantern on each section, but otherwise it looks good. Keep it up.

Darnok Posted May 21, 2018 Aye, a great build! I love the depiction of all the workplaces and just how much there is going on in general. The choice of faces and minifig posing is perfect. I also appreciate the close-ups on the cannon/howitzer builds, some interesting ideas! Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cannons are a mish-mash of stuff I've seen and my own work, glad you appreciate them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted May 22, 2018 Nice build, I like how you've depicted the manufacture process of different guns, and I like that roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
