I was making my ebay rounds looking for wheels and I stumbled onto this little store where a guy in Michigan is casting a few resin models and and model accessories. I figured that is was worth sharing. Long story short here is the store:
and here is the cannon. Since this link is an auction that will be ending, it might not work for more then a a week or so. It is $9 and will set you back $3 for US shipping, so $12 total. If you want wheels, he makes some nice wheels as well. It is 2" wide, 2.25" tall, and 2.5" long and comes in 3 pieces.
The cannon does have a bit of a steam punk look to it, but I do not think it is so strong as to not be chaos fantasy feeling. I was thinking about doing some work around the barrel and slapping on some wheels to make a second earth shaker. Since I am a two page PDFer, I don’t see a lot of point to taking the doom rocker over a second earth shaker.
Yes indeed, it is a nice looking canon. I would like to see one with wheels, as I am finding it hard to visualise it with the wheels. Great find, and keep on buying everyone, as this may inspire the modeller/maker to make more models.
Tom (the guy with the ebay shop) will start casting this weekend and should be able to ship by Tuesday next week so if you want one, keep an eye out for them. You might consider looking at a set of road wheels.
I think the size B or C Tsar Wheels would work well on the model.
EDIT: They are back-up and available again. The artist was soliciting suggestions for additional pieces that the community might be interested in. In the interest of not overwhelming him with requests, are there any suggestion, perhaps a demonic rocket?
