Alright, so I'm looking for input on the latest idea in a series of potentially really bad ideas.

Been putting together my new Chaos Vindicator (thanks, Physh), and in the spirit of attention to absurd details, it bothers me that the interior makes no allowance for the loading of the massive cannon. So I'm looking at mounting a breech where the interior door is, using a hatch from the spare parts bag. See the below:



But before I start hacking away at this, I wanted to get some input on A) using the single Chaos hatch (will be modeled as open, I'm just out of Blu-Tac at the moment):



B) Using the double hatch (likewise will be open)




C) EoN, this is a stupid idea, go back to your crayons.

I think the double hatch looks better. Great idea!

Single door makes way more sense as a breach lock.

It's a neat idea... One could make the argument that the loading takes place inside the forward compartment, but there's no reason your way couldn't be the way it happens. I agree with McGibs, though - the single door makes more sense for the mechanics.

Appreciate the input, folks, we'll see how it turns out
