Random cannon render

Post by Graham Kennedy »

These aren't part of the Coalition universe - though there's no reason they couldn't appear there, either somewhere along the timeline or for an alien race. Just a pair of random cannon designs I came up with. See if you can spot the real world inspirations, which are not all that obvious.

I may be able to post a nice little item in relation to these two tomorrow. My lips are sealed as to what it is. :)

I'm sure Seafort will correct me, but I'm reminded of Bofors 20mm and 25mm guns.

The first one is based on the Russian AK-630 :

Along with a bit of Dalek :)

The other is inspired by the Sea Zenith :
