Cook 250 - Endeavour cannon build competition entry


Thought I would give it go and see how I do

The Cook 250 kit arrived today but as the rules go I cant touch it until the 1st June.
Not all bad as it gives me a few weeks to research what I can and attack the cannon with a plan on the 1st
Well thats the only idea ive got thus far....

Heres a pic and I Will hopefully see you back here on the 1st

Good luck Steve,

I'm sat looking at the same parts bag and instructions and pondering how to tackle this. One it's small, and two it's a subject I'm not familiar with, but as you rightly mention we have research time before the build officially starts.

Finally my cannon gets underway and to start with I can confirm that the Cook cannon wasn't the only thing lost at sea_-Crying as most of you probably know my subject is usually Cars, trucks motorbikes …. anything with an engine full size or scaled down. The cannon took me straight out of my comfort zone and into the unknown. I know absolutely nothing about cannons but that's what I love about this hobby, it gives me the excuse to educate myself on a subject I otherwise wouldn't look twice at.

Ok lets get on with it

A bit of dry fitting






Glued and painted


Just an idea I was toying with



That's the first update

comments and critics welcome BigGrin
