rovercoupe Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I don't have a cannon but I do have a tank. Had it for as long as I can remember and even gave it a paint job when I was about 9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I started making one at work a while back but never finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've got that one plus a bigger mobile gun, believe it's a dinky, probably 6" x 2" or so. It was my old mans so it's entertained 3 generations with match artillery now. Unfortunately the tracks are missing but the small wheel at the back still works the elevation. I'll dig it out of the toy box and stick a picture up if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog1408 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I made this a few years back out of stainless, fires shot pretty well, I will get around to a bronze one in due course. IMG_2624.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
