More dakka – obtained!
I got off my ass this morning and made all the casts of the cannon that I'd need.
Please note that I haven't cleaned them up yet, as I couldn't find my good knife. There's a few things that need to be touched up here or there, but overall I think it came out pretty decently. The ammo feed/drum thing that goes on the side is being stubborn; apparently, the one I made was airtight, and imploded when I threw it into the pressure pot. The gun nearly did, as well! It probably would have if I hadn't filled it with a two-part plumbing epoxy while I was building it for strength. As-is, a little rubber managed to leak into my original gun's housing, but nobody'll ever know...
Wait, drat!
Anyway, here's my rough mockup:
I think it's looking pretty sharp. Now to go clean off the guns.
