Myrddyn Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Location: A05 - Yallorn II. Tags: Military, Piracy, Building. M.A.N.T.I.S Special Forces log: Myra Dynarski 14 Junali 3815, Yallorn II. Previous entry An Octan spy infiltrated one of our compounds in order to steal our precious larvae! Whether this was done in an attempt to demoralise our brave forces, to discover the source of our strength and good looks, or simply because they like the taste is unknown. Enemy spy neutralised, no opportunity for interrogation, larvae recovered. Possible connection to issues encountered by expedition MRV1B04? They stole it from us! Sneaky little Octanses. Must have the precious! Image of the whole build: Edited June 14, 2015 by Myrddyn Quote
aeralure Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Loving the idea of combat in a shaft like that. Guess I'd like to see a spoiler of the full MOC as I'm feeling like there's just a little bit we can't see, but that's only because I'm curious and think it's a pretty neat build. Not really necessary. Just a thought. Well done! Quote
Zepher Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I agree- would love to see the whole build, but the piece has a nice sense of action and movement! The grate at the end is a nice choice, and the use of chains is good too. Quote
Myrddyn Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks, I've added a picture of the whole thing. There's not anything more to it though - there's no detail outside, and there was a few blue plates just sitting outside one of the doorways. Quote
shmails Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Fantastic shot and great idea. Love these kind of action scenes! Quote
Big Sal Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Whether this was done in an attempt to demoralise our brave forces, to discover the source of our strength and good looks, or simply because they like the taste is unknown. Haha! Super dynamic build! I'm scratching my head trying to work out how you suspended the figs! Quote
pombe Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 What an incredible action scene! This is absolutely brilliant. The posing of the minifigures is fantastic and creates such a sense of action! Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Great work on suspending the minfigs! I like how you incorporated the M.A.N.T.I.S. colors too Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The action in this scene is superb--along with Sal I am trying to see how you posed the figs that way! I also love the ongoing inclusion of larvae in MANTIS. Quote
mccoyed Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Great action. Looks like Koro has some competition for pulling off the sweet anime scenes! Quote
Myrddyn Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks, here's a picture that hopefully shows how the minifigs were posed. There's just a headlight brick and some plates hidden behind the spy's raised right leg holding him out from the wall a bit, and then Myra is holding her gun fairly high up the handle, so there's a bit sticking out the bottom for the spy to hold.

Ninja Nin Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Those Octanses ... always send spies to Big Sal's experiment ... Great continuity with the story and love the action scene ! Quote
