LordDan Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 A trio of Avalonian soldiers return to Araluen from Kaliphalin, where they were stationed during the civil war. Now that the fighting has died down and their captain has recovered from the attempt on his life they finally made their way back home to the vast forests of Avalonia. Nearby, a trio of Araluen town guardsmen explore the underground network of tunnels left by the Drow and Dwarves. They have been tasked with exploring and mapping out the tunnel systems near Araluen so that they can be used by the Avalonian. Neither the guards or the makers of these tunnels ever realized how close they came to finding the resting place of a magnificent ancient beast. Here is a shot of the tunnel from the other side Notes: All the underground scenes in these builds were built about a year ago, and i had planned to put my Task 5 castle on top( All the builds are connected, with the tunnel on the left, the forest in the middle, and the bones on the left), but then i lost interest in it and it sat around for a long time, until i eventually decided that the castle wasn't up to my standards anymore, so I tore it down( I really,really needed the pieces). I kept the underground scenes since I liked them, and I tried to come up with a use for it for a while, but recently I decided to just photograph the good parts as separate builds. I also built the forest scene in the middle in another attempt to finish the whole scene, but quickly gave up and decided to only make a small scene with it. C & C welcome Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 While the other builds are nice, that skeleton build is fantastic! Nice little story as well. Quote
Nagol of Fortfield Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 ^ Totally right! Although the underground in the first build is amazing, and the sideways rock-work to the right of the second picture is stupendous, the skeleton steals the show! Also, is Araluen a reference to the Ranger's Apprentice? I love that book series! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Amazing skeleton. I would love to see an overall pic. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Favorite part has gotta be that rat hole, just so clever! Quote
Blufiji Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Great job on all the scenes but for me the skeleton shot is most impressive. Quote
TitusV Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Lovely vegetation, lovely rockwork and a really lovely skeleton! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Sheer awesomeness! Love that skeleton! Quote

LittleJohn Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Excellent work, LD! The rockwork is superb and I really like the foliage on top As everyone else has said, the skeleton is fantastic as well Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Great series of builds, I really like the vegetation in the first scene, and how you have a rat underground The tunnel features a nice mix of SNOT and studs up rockwork. And that skeleton is fantastic Quote
BrickCurve Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I really like the skeleton, the foliage in the first one is good too. Quote
Garmadon Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Very nice forest scene and skeleton LD, I'm really liking your multiple layer builds! The Avalonians in the tunnel is my favorite part though, great job with the SNOTted and studs up rock-work! Quote
SarahJoy Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Great vegetation, and that skeleton is very cool! Quote
Bregir Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Great (series of) build(s), LD. It is good to see you again building in our glorious homelands As others have said, that skeleton is amazing, as is your other landscaping, above and below ground! Quote
