Ion cannon reference

I have scoured the forums, and spent time ID'ing most parts, but the nose and main parts of the recoiling gun elude me. Can anyone give me some pinters? Please

Thank you Moff Eaton, your build inspired me to try this build. The cannon parts are really hard to id. Can you give me some pointers please?

 

[moffeaton]

The only other one I remember off hand is the Matilda... I don't have a "recipe" list, and I am historically always bad at retaining IDs.

Junyo and Shinano in there too

Thank you I have ID' 90% its the housing and tip of the cannon that eludes me, those tubes along the peremeter of the house and the bollards greeblies I have yet to ID.

 

[moffeaton]

The tip, barrel, and housing were machined by Ease in acrylic. The tubes are plastruct rod.

Bollards?

Bollards?

Thank you Moff Eaton. Bollards, a nautical term for pop cleats to tie the ship to the dock. The parts are in the vosper. Cheers

 

[moffeaton]

Right! I called those tie downs, thinking bollards were only cylindrical lol.

 

[chazzychaz]

What are these kits? I know I have seen them before.

 

[satazius]

Mobelwagen, Perkasa, Scharnhorst and 88mm mostly.

You amaze me.

Thanks, but Kudos should really go to the team that figured it out in the first place and worked to make the kit and info available.
