Goblin\Dwarf Heavy Turret, a turret consisting of 3 cannons attached to each other, connected to a triangular base by a rotateable hinge.

Using my brothers "Pirate Cannon" toy as a reference(hes 5 years old).

Its semi-scratch made, I started off with a pyramid, later merged a cube and a torus. I cloned, moved, rotated, scaled and extruded those basic primitives in Vertex Modifier, to create the base and the "hinge". The cannons are from Steam Tank, the "rings" on them are toruses, rotated and scaled to fit. I yet have to create the thing connecting the cannons and the hinge, then to remmap the whole thing to fit with some dwarfish textures, then finally animate it from scratch.

Heres the current model in comparison with my bro's toy:

I don't really like the wrap on the base, and as you can see, for some reason, the Pyramid is incorrectly shaded(as though as it was inverted, like, the pyramid we see is from the inside, and the other side is the outside of it. I don't know what caused this, but I would really like to know how to fix it, if someone knows. Thanks in advance. Also, the trimming is phailish...

Ohh, also - yellow parts are team color.
