I recently completed a tutorial for CGTuts+ covering the creation of a Civil War cannon using 3D Studio Max, xNormal and Photoshop. The model is based on the "12 Pound Whitworth Breechloading Field Gun” and I tried to recreate it as accurately as I could. The final result of the tutorial is pretty much what you see here. (although this isn't actually the same model)

This one was built before hand as sort of a “proof of concept” to get the project approved. Like I said, it's almost identical to the tutorial version. The only major differences being, the belt hanging off the bottom and the dirt of course. Hit up my tutorials section for more info, project files and links to the actual tutorial.
