dwarf flame cannon size
« on: July 09, 2013, 07:51:47 PM »
Can anyone with one of these and a set of calipers (or a ruler and good eye) possibly take some measurements for me?

looking for the length and diameter of the main "barrel" part of the cannon (not the gun barrel, but rather the barrel shaped mid section)

needs the info for a possible conversion I'm undertaking

many thanks!

Using a ruler, about 9mm long and 7.5mm diameter.

thanks Jim :)

sadly that's a bit smaller than I'd hoped, I found some small barrels from Renedra but they're about 11mm long and similar diameter..... might have a punt and see what I can make anyway

Sounds close enough for conversion work!
