I have a miniature cannon that looks almost exactly like that:



Unfortunately, it really doesn't look like the cannon in Duke 3D. The one in Duke is very well presented -- it's one of the few sprites that has 7 different viewing angles. The two most important differences are (1) the original cannon barrel has a bulbous shape, and (2) the original wooden base has much less depth and no wheels.

In fact, there's an upcoming, nearly completed map where cannons are fired from a pirate ship, and the HRP model works great for that. I even coded an effect whereby the player can take control of a cannon and use it to shoot cannonballs at monsters.
