[ESL-CH1A] Unwelcome guests

[Alfadas]

"Where are we going? We've been wandering around this island for God knows how long."

"Burnet, for the last time, we are exploring this island for the ETWC, and Eslandola. Just keep walking."

Alfonso was exploring an island, together with Gray Beard, his mentor/friend/second in command, and Burnet, a soldier. Gray Beard wasn't his real name, but everybody called him that way.

"But my feet hurt and I'm hungry," Burnet complained.

"Are you a proud soldier? Is this the way they train new recruits now? When we get back, I really need to speak the soldiers in command at that training centre. This is unacceptable." Gray Beard shouted at the soldier. He continued mumbling for the next half hour.

They came across a small path in the low cliffs at the coast. Burnet decided to check it out.

"What you do here? This is sacred land. No entry for strangers." They heard from on top of the cliffs. Burnet quickly used his gun as a shield, because one of the guys stabbed at him with his spear.

"Burnet, Gray Beard, put your weapons down, no need to hurt anyone." Alfonso said. He turned towards the natives. "We do not mean to harm you, we didn't know this land was sacred. Please, lay down your weapons, we could talk."

"This is sacred land. No entry for strangers." The native repeated. They didn't lay down their weapons. In fact, they prepared to attack.

"Alright, no need to attack. Come on, Burnet, Gray Beard, let's go. No need for us to die here."

Alfonso, Burnet and Gray Beard quickly made their way back around the island to their ship. This wasn't a succes.

Here are the pictures.

This is my entry, won't be able to make an entry for Challenge 1B. Maybe I can make something for challenge 2, but not sure yet. Hope you like it.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Looks like a lot of action - the water has turned out well too!

[Captain Dee]

Cute little scene. The action and posing are really good, and the terrain gives it good depth. The water technique works well for the surf. The minifigs are good, but that's always the case when you include all 3 types of Imperial hat in one scene.

[Alfadas]

Thanks! I'm very pleased to hear the water looks good! I really tried hard to make it look cool. I did want to make the cliffs at least 1 row of 1x2x3 slopes higher, but I ran out ... So, maybe in a future build, the cliffs will be a lot higher But thanks! Good to hear I can still make nice little scenes!

Nice color trasition at the sea. And good looking minifigs as well, especially the natives ones.

[Garmadon]

Very nice work with the water Alfadas, and of course those soldiers are awesome as well!

[Alfadas]

Thanks!

[TitusV]

Neat build!

[Bregir]

Nice beach and minfig posing, Alfadas!

My only complaint is the overexposure of the second picture, and the white background showing under the grass through the cliffs on the right of the first picture. Nice entry overall.
