I'm a new guy to thie forum, but I've been on the Star Wars forums for the past 5 years or so. I troop with the 501st as Jango Fett, ROTS Vader, and Jek from the Clone Wars cartoon series.

A year ago I made a functioning rotary cannon seen in the movie. It spun with a rechargable 18 volt drill and had blue LEDs. IT also weighed 22 lbs. Since them I've made about 6 of these things. Some spin, some don't, all of them have blue LEDs.

I'm now making a new version, I feel it's a better because it's scaled down to be more accurate.

Here's a brief history as this thing has evolved.\

Version 1. 22 lbs.

My most recent Version. Staic prop, no lights, no spinning, smaller, and so far about 5 lbs. I'm still building it as of today. The rear portion isn't done and it needs to be painted and assembled.

Looking good Craig, I remember the weight issue being a problem but at least you'll be able to troop with this version longer. Good stuff .
 
Hi there! This is awesome!!! I am looking at making one of these! What did you make the barrels of? I am also going rotating barrel and some form of LEDS :) YaY great minds!!
 
Barrels are made of pipe. The LED is mounted top center of the first circle. It shines through the barrels as they pass the led
 
Can i pick a bit more? PVC? or aluminium? I think i saw a video of this and I was like holy hell thats awesome! details details!
 
Any way to get a rough parts list of what is what on your build here?? Or do you have one you are willing to part with?

Thanks a lot,
Brian
