I have built yet another 'Big Gun' for the Orks. Like the last one, this one is mostly from parts from the Trukk and Battlewagon sprues. Unfortunately I could not find the larger wheels that came with the original Kannon, Lobba and Zzzap Guns (not without buying the whole blister pack at 'collector' prices, anyway). So, I bought the wheels for the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Dwarf Cannon from a 'bits' seller. It turns out they are a lot smaller than the original wheel. However, they look solid and not entirely out of place, so I used them.
Other parts included the Zzzap gun from the Battlewagon, a boarding plank from the Trukk and a metal Big Gob piece from Ghazghkull Thraka.
Edit: If you haven't opened up a Dwarf Cannon and were thinking of buying the wheels as 'bits', be aware that they are considerably smaller than the old Ork Kannon wheels or plastic chariot/wagon wheels. They are about 12mm (0.5 in) across. However, I do think they look good as parts for WH40K weapons, and they certainly shouldn't look out of place as wheels on Ork or Imperial Guard heavy weapons, trolleys, carts or servicing equipment.
