Thanks, Mladen.  Actually, the cannon is in a fixed position.  The
barrel does open up for firing.  If the cannon had been off-set, the
cannon lowering would have been a cool feature.  Alas, the Odin's fin
would be in the way in it's current design.  Everything was pretty much
built around the cannon.

Look forward to your craft.

Excellent work as always Travis! I like the Gundam Dendrobium influence, as well as the successful integration of the Odin with the weapons platform. The missile containers are great too, mmm... nuclear! Oh, and that particle-beam cannon is sweet (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.space)
