This particular gap in the ground was about a gunshot away from a lava flow. Presuming Octan had also found this water treasure I swam what felt like downstream until I found it - a water collection device thingy (yeah, I know, my major is not in engineering either...). Pulling out my micro-tracking devices (MTDs), I let them get sucked up by the water device one by one. I wish I could get a look at the top - I'd probably see Octan robots doing most of the work. The location information provided by these MTDs will provide MANTIS with other key locations in case we, uh, nevermind. ~ DD out The spoiler includes extra blacklight shots, close-ups of the underwater landscape, the Octan water processing plant, the working crane, and the water transportation vehicle. --------------------------------------- Man, this MANTIS stuff is a blast! I got to experiment with adding the dark green 1x1 bricks in the rockwork to give the rockwork some noticeable strata. The crane works quite well, and the rubber band is there to keep the water containers from slipping out easily. The water transportation vehicle turned out quite nicely with the suspension and being able to snap back to its normal position because of the rubber band and also to give the wheels a little bit of resistance when going over a bump.

NuckElBerg Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Daaaamn, you and Andrew are just intent on putting the rest of us to shame, aren't you? Great build! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Cool build. My favorite detail is that the legged crab. Lots of cool stuff in this build. Quote
Master_Data Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Awesome job! How many blacklights did you use? I might need to pick one up myself if it produces an effect such as this! Quote
Disco86 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Excellent build ! There are a lot of things I instantly would like to build too. The underwater Octan turned out great and the blacklight pictures are pretty cool. Quote
Garmadon Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Excellent build, very nice job on the Octan station and the under-water section! I wish I could get a look at the top - I'd probably see Octan robots doing most of the work. Quote
Jody Meyer Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Very nice build, black light works great, nice water thingy....brick on! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Very nice build, I really like the sort of dual aspect to it! The alien atmosphere on the bottom looks great! Quote
Andrew JN Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Great Octan station! Cool underwater section as well! Quote
Enceladus Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Awesome work! I particuarly like the contrast between the alien landscape and the smooth lines if the Octan base Quote
Mark of Falworth Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Very stealthy! Great work Double D! I find this especially impressive in that this massive Moc was done in a week! Quote
aeralure Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Wow is about all I can say to this one. Amazing! Quote
Kodan Black Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 You sure you don't work for Octan? Great build, love the underwater part. I'm going to have to requisition myself a robot clearly! Quote
Drazard Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Brilliant build! The dark green is a really nice touch. I'm enjoying these MANTIS builds! Edited June 29, 2015 by Drazard Quote
marcu22 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 What a good job for a weekly build. That shows me: Stop writing -> get into building! You're kind of a motivation! Quote
Big Sal Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Another amazing build! Everything is great, but I particularly like the crab/lobster/thing Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Another spectacular build! I like this one even more than your battle scene. Lovely underwater details, and the black light pictures are really pretty Great detailing on the Octan base, and vehicle too, gotta love working suspension Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I love all the detail under the water, but those jellyfish are my favorite Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Two sevens in a row?! Amazing job David! The underwater part is incredible, I love the stripes of dark green! Fantastic work on the extractor too Quote
David FNJ Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks all for the feedback! Glad you like the black light shots :D @Garmadon: I thought someone would find that humorous Quote
