Beatnik cryptek Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I really don't like the under slung doomsday cannon look on tge official DDA. I put mine on top. Anyone else do their arks that way?

Midlight Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I've never seen one done that way. Could you chuck a picture up? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362628-dda-cannon-up-or-down/#findComment-5492573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DDC is a nasty huge weapon, why hide it under the ark? Also the upside down ribs make it look like the ark was a cartoon walking on silly little legs and feet.

NTaW Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It sure does present the gun a lot better than when it's hidden away underneath. I thought about doing this when I built mine but decided to go the traditional route when I saw how the ribs looked in person. The only thing I'd add to this is a bit of whatever sculpting putty you have handy to smooth out the hole in the top of the gun where the stand would have gone.

Get Thokt Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Personally prefer the original style though the alternative does make it easy to switch to a Ghost Ark with the help of a few magnets.

And there you go! Another reason to put the Cannon on top!

Dread Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Well poop! It's been a few years since I built mine. Wish I'd thought of that. Good job. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362628-dda-cannon-up-or-down/#findComment-5496577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconCouch Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I actually have mine both ways. I realized ghost arks were not good, so i put the gun up on top and glued it in place. It looks fine.
