I was looking through my bits box and I found my old Empire Cannon. Maybe I could convert it to a Death Rocket?

Sounds cool, but what is your idea for it so fare?

It'll require a lot of work, such as shaving off most of the empire iconography, spikes maybe, bull iconography.

Rockets are easy enough to make. Find a tube that will fit in your cannon then GS a cone on the end. Jobs a good 'un

that sound cool !   i add some greenstuff skulls  and make some rockets out of green stuff
just check out this site it has some great death rocket stuff

It's not that difficult, but it should be cool. An easy way to CD-ify it, is to add spikes to the wheels (for example, the tips of cocktail sticks) as a sort of grip. Maybe a spine of spikes along the barrel as well and then a simple rocket (GS is probably easiest or even a shell from the dwarf cannon box) either about to be fired or actually having just been fired (glue some wire to the rocket and inside the barrel and cover with a mixture of blackened cotton wool and the foam in blister packs). Hope that helps! Show us some results soon

i allready did this, works fine and looks cool. you just have to cut something of, make everything a little bit shorter, change the wheels and add a rocket (without a rocket it still looks like a cannon ^^). everyone should have an empire cannon ^^

I've done this myself, very simple yet one of my fav conversions:

Couchmonster, very good, very effective and VERY similar to the original DR. Kudos, m'lad, kudos! (I got my bro's Empire Cannon in the garage, so I may steal it for this, he he he.)

It's so simple I can't believe I haven't made more of them yet, a cut here a bit of filing there and wham, one death rocket.

*note to self add a couple of cannons to shopping list*
