Master_Data Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Log: 26 Maian 3815 Location: Barker's Folly D02 Asteroid Belt Begin Log: Just arrived at Barker's Folly from Torresta. I plan to scout out the area and try to find the areas richest with awesomnium. I'll also collect some rock samples to send back to the lab. The M.A.N.T.I.S. Stryker is the perfect choice for this mission. Compact enough to weave between the asteroids yet large enough to defend itself against any danger it might face! The Stryker only needs its single aft propulsor to zoom to its objective! In depth analysis of the scouting craft: Just an interesting technique for the back of the craft. Quite proud of the way it turned out! Just found an awsomnium vein! Time to report back to home base! End Log. Can anyone direct me to a glare/reflection-reducing tutorial? Didn't notice it until now! Edited June 1, 2015 by Master_Data Quote
VolumeX Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Holy Moly I'm super excited that is a MANTIS craft. Well Done! Quote
Orange Leader Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Great!! Can anyone direct me to a glare/reflection-reducing tutorial? Didn't notice it until now! I'd also like to know this. Edited May 27, 2015 by Orange Leader Quote
Kai NRG Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Very sleek little craft! Really like the shape! I wouldn't like to be cooped up in there for a couple days though... Quote
pombe Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 She's a beauty! Great shape, great colors. There's nothing not to love. Quote
Commander Turtle Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Smart shaping on the sides, I like it. Quote
Ninja Nin Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 These pods are industrial grade, they're nearly indestructible. Quote
Zaael Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Nice design! Makes me think of Guardians of the Galaxy. Quote
Big Sal Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Amazingly efficient build that looks fantastic! Quote
mccoyed Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 These pods are industrial grade, they're nearly indestructible. I see what you did there, haha! Quote
Master_Data Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Thank you for the comments! Smart shaping on the sides, I like it. Thanks! Took me a few days and a destroyed MOC to figure out how to make that work! Quote
Commander Beltar Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Great ship! It has some really nice shapes and certainly looks like something MANTIS would have! Quote
Lady K Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Love this little space craft! Very M.A.N.T.I.S. ! The Stryker is a perfect balance on design and colors. Well done. Quote
mrcp6d Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Really great shape on this little ship! Can anyone direct me to a glare/reflection-reducing tutorial? Didn't notice it until now! I'd also like to know this. Best method I've come up with is to use some tissue as a cheap (almost free...) filter on the lights to cut down on the direct lighting. Or you could go crazy and purchase some actual diffused lighting doodads. Sometimes I have to lengthen the shutter speed to account for the lower amount of light on the build because of the kleenex.

I have actual diffusers, but they don't help with reflections. LEGO is just too shiny! Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice design! Another great addition to our fleet! Quote
Garmadon Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Very sleek looking scouting craft, great job on the shaping and colors! Quote
Master_Data Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Nice design! Another great addition to our fleet! Thanks! We have hundreds of thousands of these just waiting to swarm the galaxy, M.A.N.T.I.S. style! Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Thanks! We have hundreds of thousands of these just waiting to swarm the galaxy, M.A.N.T.I.S. style! This calls for a digital picture of hundreds of both these and MCFs. Quote
Master_Data Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) This calls for a digital picture of hundreds of both these and MCFs. I've been working on one, but I don't have much free time and my photo editing program just stopped working. I'll try to do so before the deadline! EDIT: MCF? Edited May 31, 2015 by Master_Data Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 A MCF is a MANTIS Cristax Fighter. It was my build last week. Quote
