Craeting the cannon

The cannon was a very interesting shape for me to create. It was not perfectly cylindrical and consisted of different textures and shapes.

I used a variety of Torus Knots (but circles) as lips around the cannon. The base was made from different boxes and cylinders which were aligned for accuracy.

The cannon holder used the soft selection tool and produced a cupped shape for the tube to sit in. I thought the shapes work well together and produce a life-like replica of the original image.

Here is the model before materials are used.
