Hi All,.
I wanted to have it where the canon could be move into position to fire - with vertical movement. Initially I tried with magnets - however due to the weight, the cannon would be pulled to the horizontal axis.
So I added a 'lock and key' mechanism to allow the movement of the cannon. A pin was added within the housing, and then an adjacent hole was drilled into the vertical support. I then scored the resin to show the direction of movement, and added to more holes, and then the resin was removed between the holes with a knife. This allows the cannon to be set into 3 positions, upright, a semi erect position and a firing straight ahead position
I am really happy with the way this turned out, allowing the model to be positioned mid game will add more realism to the model. I can't wait to see the Warbringer in action..
Cheers LH
It’s been a slow week, however I have spent some time with the Warbringer - mainly the Quake cannon.
