Kai NRG Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Location: F08 Tags: Exploration, Land Vehicle, Airplane Welcome to the beaches of Raudon! Time to do some water harvesting! Good thing I got this nifty new vacuum machine! Hmm... I know they said this thing should never be turned on full blast... but what do they know? *whrrrl bzzzz whoooosssshhhh* Coolio! *bzzzz shhhhggggcktz trrrrroorrrrr* Wonder if it's supposed to make all those weird clanky noises? *whrrrwhooopfrroom meemaameemaa!* *water tank fills up beyond capacity and pre-explosion alarm sounds* Auggg! Get me out of here! Run! *kkkrakkkpow bang!* Roger! This is Guy K. Wynd! Please send the nearest Octan personnel to get me out of here! Roger that, Guy. I'm headed your way! I'm waiting! Hop on! Whew. Thanks, Jed! No problem. I got some good news for you, by the way. And some bad news too. Let's hear the good news first. Okay. I found your camera! Wow! You did! That's awesome! But... what's the bad news? Well... I lost it again on G09. What?! You lost my camera? I'm gonna... No, wait! We're going to craaaash... Oops. More pictures! First, an overview: Now a couple of figless and vehicleless shots: Jedediah's Octan QuikFlyr: Guy's Water Vacuum (which took me about as long as the entire rest of the build! ): And since I spent a good deal of time working on the bottom: By far my largest build for AG, and also my second largest ever. A lot of fun as a matter of fact, I really enjoyed the landscaping part. It's true that the vacuum machine was a bit of a pain though. Comments and criticism are welcome! Thanks for your time!

LittleJohn Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Wonderful build, Kai! The sand texturing is superb and I love the dense foliage Great vehicles too! Quote
Kodan Black Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Whoa, that beach scene is amazing. I like the little details on the truck like the wipers and the Octan logo on the front. Quote
shmails Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Coolio indeed! That water vaccum is so cool, especially the nozzle and the water being sucked up. Great idea and amazing work to bring it to life. The landscaping is great too, but I am not much of a fan of landscapes, so I overlooked that Seriously, the water transitions look great as does the treeline. Quote
goatman461 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 amazing work on the base and vehicle. the only thing i would add to the beach is some dark tan around the water to look like wet sand, but the textures you used are awesome. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Awesome build! The landscape the truck and the water all work together really well! Quote
David FNJ Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This is superb! Excellent job getting the beach texture and merging it with the foliage. That water vacume vehicle is awesome! Nice use of one of those Ninjago spinners. Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks guys! Whoa, that beach scene is amazing. I like the little details on the truck like the wipers and the Octan logo on the front. Thanks Kodan! I'm glad you like the Octan logo, I thought it was a great way to get it really small, so I'll probably be doing it again! amazing work on the base and vehicle. the only thing i would add to the beach is some dark tan around the water to look like wet sand, but the textures you used are awesome. Thanks goatman! I thought of that briefly at the beginning but I didn't have enough dark tan slopes to do it the same way as with the light tan. Plus I don't have nearly as much texturing pieces in dark tan as in light tan. This is superb! Excellent job getting the beach texture and merging it with the foliage. That water vacume vehicle is awesome! Nice use of one of those Ninjago spinners. Thank you! Actually, I used two spinners. I used to think they were completely useless, but now that I've started building Sci-fi, perhaps my massive spinner collection will come in handy! Quote
Garmadon Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Excellent build Kai, very nice landscaping and water, and that water vacuum is just awesome! Love the water getting sucked in as well, makes it look very powerful! There was a reason Jed wanted to stay away from Guy for a while... Quote
Andrew JN Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Awesome! Nice work on that water vacuum vehicle. Great details on the bottom, and sweet use of the Ninjago spinner piece! Great build! Quote

Nice work on that water vacuum vehicle. Great details on the bottom, and sweet use of the Ninjago spinner piece! Great build! Thank you! Glad you like the bottom! For some reason my vehicles always look weird at the beginning unless I put an elaborate bottom, then by the time I get to the end, it's like, duh, you can't even see the bottom! Quote
