Kai NRG Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Edit: Whoopsie! Location: I06 Tags: Airplane [Actually helicopter but that isn't there], Water Vehicle, Building, Science Excerpt from Guy Wynd's pilot log: Delivered supplies as per assignment to the base on Yetornius. They seemed to be having a good time, were just about to try out the hopefully lava resistant speedercraft. Their scientist was praising it to the skies but he didn't volunteer and got back into the lab asap. The poor guy who did end up taking the trip didn't seem overly confident. Seems like all went well tho. Base construction would seem to be done. They've got one tower, lab and storehouse in one, then a crane and drilling platform, zip lines back and forth, plus a small docking area. As long as the predatorial life stays away don't think they'll be having much trouble! Docking area: The white building is modular, that is, it has removable roofs, besides a ladder from one story to the next. Here's a shot inside the first story, the lab: And here's one of the second story: The speedercraft: The platform features a forkliftish thing and a drill. And a few shots of the helicopter. Why is it that I always make my cockpits so tiny! No doing barrel rolls in this puppy! It's only got one job: to transport Octan supplies into rough places! Lastly, another overview from a higher angle: Fortunately, as it turned out the forecast was about as wrong as wrong could be and yesterday was, well, not what I would consider a nice day, but a nice day for taking pictures! Overall this was an enjoyable build, I definitely like lava! C&C appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to look it over! Edited May 30, 2015 by Kai NRG Quote
Big Sal Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Great outpost! Looks really well thought out with lots of nice details! Quote
Lady K Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Nice outpost! I like the expression on the guy in the lava. Edited May 30, 2015 by Lady K Quote
Boxerlego Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Wow! That is a Great build! You did a excellent job at incorporating lots of application with your Outpost. Very well done! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Lovely base! Those vehicles are great too! I especially like that cute and compact helicopter! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
pombe Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 What a great outpost! It has so many features (what a cute helicopter!) and makes a wonderful playset! Quote
NuckElBerg Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Had to read through the story carefully to realize the purpose of having an outpost in the mddle of a field of lava! ^^ Anyway, nice build, love the little added details and the sideways use of arcs to create a round hole. Quote
Space Terrapin Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 This is a really good build, all the industrial greebling and details makes it seem like a really functional outpost! I must confess I'm not convinced about the helicopter - it just seems a bit too small and blocky - but that's a very minor criticism. Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks everyone for the comments! Lovely base! Those vehicles are great too! I especially like that cute and compact helicopter! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Trying to get a guy in that cockpit was a pain... Thanks!

I must confess I'm not convinced about the helicopter - it just seems a bit too small and blocky - but that's a very minor criticism. Thanks Space Terrapin! You might be right about the helicopter. I'm not much of a vehicle builder, so hopefully this will help me improve a bit there! Quote
