Finally got the kannons done, just need to add rivits and I will post up the pic. Still working out how I will do the lobbas though.

lmao so am I Jersey the lobba seems to be eluding me at the moment.. The kannons are not going to be hard at all.. I got one of the Zzap Guns painted.. Might post the pic here later if i dig the camera out..

Can't wait to see it. Here are my finished kannons.

Here ya go jersey, all painted up.. The others I will paint either the same or different.. Have not decided yet.. Let me know what you think..

Wow, that paintjob looks great! Lovely blending and very nice rust

Thanks Mr Merlin

Nice paint scheme. I think I finally have an idea on the lobbas, just need to get to the hobby or DIY store to get the parts I need. Hope to have them finished this weekend.

Awesome plasticard skills.

I got really busy this weekend, then I forgot it was Easter today. So I did not even get the chance to work on the lobbas at all. Hopefully I can get out to the store tomorrow and find some materials to finish off this project.

I have been searching all over trying to find some material to use for my lobbas and came up empty handed. Started looking online for the styrene tube I needed but shipping was not worth it. It was looking like I would have to make the 45 minute drive to the only hobby shop that stocks styrene untill I came across some brass tubing from K&S. It was the perfect dimensions for what I was looking for so I picked it up. I started working on the lobbas yesterday and hope to have at least one done in the next day or so.

jersey I have great success using 1/2" plastic tubing from evergreen.

That's what I wanted to use, but hoped I could find something close by so I would not have to drive all the way out to the hobby store. The brass tube I used is the same dimensions as the evergreen so it workded out for what I wanted.

thats cool.. also you can hit up a hardware store and get all the pipe you need from there also ..

I looked all over home depot, lowes and even ace hardware. I wanted a 1/2" OD, and everything they had was ID, so it was just way too thick for what I wanted. Even thier thin wall pvc pipe was too thick, which was a shame because it is so inexpensive. I am almost done with the first one, just a few more details then rivits and I can just about call this build project done.

I hear ya.. cant wait to see

Got the first of three lobbas done. Will add rivits when all three are built.

I like it.. Awesome bud.. I have a week off school next week, and you better believe I am going to bust out some stuff lol..

Just got them finished a few minutes ago. I was starting to feel like this project was taking too long, so I decied to just sit down this morning and work till they were completed. Here is the final pic.
