HC Solider #1: Boy, these movable fortress things are neat-o! Remind me to give Ameri a big thank you once we reach the coast!

#2: I'm with you there! It's the best thing since the wheel... in fact, it has a lot to do with the wheel! No more marching for me.

#3: Goodbye, left left right right!

Driver: Stop the chatter for a moment recruits. What's that dust cloud over there?

#3: Gulp. It might be Desert King soldiers!

#1: You're afraid of a bunch of mummies? My Mommy isn't scared of mummies!

Driver: Look again, empty heads!

#2: Uh-oh! They're Ulanders! Quick, do your transforming thing, driver!

Driver: I'm on it! Wait... where's the instruction manual?!

#3: Was it this? Sorry, I may have used it to light my pipe.

Driver: Grrrrr! Well, get up you...! Help me figure out how to switch this around!

#2: Wait. You don't know how this works?

Driver: Of course I don't know!

#1: They're coming closer! Hurry!

Driver: Okay, just throw all the boxes out, quickly now! You two, unhitch the horses. ...Never mind, we can catch them later! Help me attach these! Two... three... lift!

#2: Augh! Get off your lazy... help me lift this side already!

#3: I can't! I'm supposed to put the leg down!

#1: Hurry, I'm going to drop it soon!

Driver: Okay, were clear!

#3: No! No! We're not clea..owwwwwch!

#1: Sorry about that. It was slipping.

#2: Hurry! They're almost here!

Ulandian Commander: What on earth are they doing?!

Ulandian Soldier N.1: Looks like they're trying to build some sort of fortress!

N.2: It's pretty cool, actually.

N.1: You can have it when we capture it!

Commander: Alright boys! Attack!

Well, the High Council soldiers weren't quite done putting their fortress up, and certainly weren't ready to fight. So it was no surprise that the Ulanders soon got the better of them, poor things!

Overview:

Without the base:

Just the fortress in moving mode:

In upright mode - the necessary changes are minimal:

And the Flick-firepult... a High Council experiment! An experiment that actually works, by the way. Link=video!

C&C appreciated as always!

The gold tip multi firing mechanism is impressive!

Neat build!

Great wor, Kai! I really like how you did the base and the tree thingy is pretty neat

Congrats on 4000 posts too!

That's pretty cool! Nice build and story!

nice build ! Love the black trees.

Wow, thats great . I really the base and the wagon. Furthermore the posing of the minifigures is great, too

Kai, that's a nice little mobile fort. The concept is unique and the firing mechanism looks great. The pearl gold cones make perfect bronze tips; is that how you view them? The horse team is arranged well. Posting all the detail photos was a good idea. The base and plants are nice touches. Good story too. "Neat-o!"

Ha, ha nice build, though it does make me feel a bit sorry for those HC soldiers! Great job on the transforming function and firing mechanism, and the base is very cool as well!

Thanks guys! Video is up now!

I don't know that I thought a whole lot about the gold cones, but if I had, bronze was probably what would have come to mind - real gold tips would be rather useless! Thanks!

Cool mobile fort and the weapon looks neat, though your link seems to be broken.

I like the triple horse set up

Whoops, somehow it ended up private. Fixed!

Thanks!
