kabel Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Location: H03 - Kaalin Tags: Civil, Building, Octan Henry (Hans-Heinrich "H3" Himmelmann) was in a foul mood this morning. Sure, he was used to be working on strange otherworldly planets. And once again, Octan had send him to a place where he was supposed to work as quick as possible, all by himself and his robots, setting up self supporting living quarters for the explorers and miners to come. So that was nothing new, and fortunately there didn't seem to be that much alien activity around here, for there was nothing Henry hated more than Aliens trying to eat him or his parts alive. But what really annoyed him this moring, besides the usual hangover, was that the communication system had broken down again. Ever since getting here Henry had been able to recieve commands from Octan but was unable to communicate privatley himself at all. Henry wondered, why had Octan send him here with this lousy equipment and why was stuff like that always happening to him! He had finished his work a week ago already and was ready to move on. Not that he didn't mind the extra spare time he got this way after those stressfull first weeks. What really bothered him was that he was running low on booze! And once he was done with this last bottle, he really needed to get out of here again! So Henry put on his helmet and headed out into the cold trying to fix the antenna. H3 really loved this helmet and was hardly ever seen without it. Funnily though, he did not wear it because the planet's atmosphere was unbreathable but simply because breathing pure oxygen helped him getting over his hangover. What Henry did no know was that Octan of course did this to him on purpose. Once his craving got really intense they would reopen the channel and Henry would be so happy that he'd do almost anything if only he could get some new booze ... Quote
aeralure Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Really nice! I like how seamless the living quarters and the environment are - color use, contrast, shape. Funny story too! Quote
shmails Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 So well done! The difference in colors from the exterior to interior makes this scene for me. Quote
kabel Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 well thanks for the praise guys! Doing something on a tundra planet was actually soemthing that came kinda natural to me as a long time Mitgardian. Still, this was my first sci-fi build ever! Quote
mrcp6d Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 That's a gorgeous MOC kabel! I really like how the building is nestled into the rock face. A really great build overall. Quote
Zepher Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 So well done! The difference in colors from the exterior to interior makes this scene for me. Much agreed! The white against the dark gray and sand brown… coupled with those dry arid looking plants v. the lush green ones inside… a superb build! I love the fact that you sloped the front too - makes it fit into the mountain, and makes sense for a green-house. Absolutely lovely - I've been leaning a lot on the "exploration" of the new planets, but builds like this and this make me want to start to show what a more colonized alien planet might look like! I wish I could think of a note to improve the build, but nothing jumps out at me. Great work! Quote
Jody Meyer Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Much agreed! The white against the dark gray and sand brown… coupled with those dry arid looking plants v. the lush green ones inside… a superb build! This what I was thinking, I truly like the house and the rocks. Brick on! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Beautiful, brilliant incorporation of the building and the landscape looks amazing Great mix of colors Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Gorgeous build, kabel! I really like how you angled the dark tan plates on the right and the building is excellent as well Quote
mccoyed Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Awesome landscaping and mix of colors, as others have said. H3 has to be one of my favorite AG characters now too, haha! Quote
Big Sal Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Great incorporation of the build into the landscape! And funny story too Quote
Garmadon Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Fantastic greenhouse kabel, and the landscape is superb as well! The sideways rock-work and the tan go very well together, and the vegetation really helps this build pop out - great job here! Quote
WickNole Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 It's always very interesting to see how the build is developing from WIP to final stage. Especially if the result is so nice and clean. Quote
kabel Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Well thanks a lot guys! Actually it's meant to be a little more than just a green house. The habitation unit is located behind the green wall. Only the South facing facade is used a green house. I've got most of my bricks stuck in other projects though. Quote
Boxerlego Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, Amazing earthship build set in the mountain side! That is very neat! Quote
pombe Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Wow! Amazing build, I love the rock work and the habitat set into it! And what a great and funny (and tragic) story, as well! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Love this!~ Great idea! Great build! Great story! You've got it all! Love the characterization here (I suspect he and Dr. Long would not get along well. ) The habitat's integration to its surroundings is probably my favorite aspect of the build. The cliff face is lovely (that shift in colour half way through is great) and the earthship is really supurb! I'm really pleased to see some Sci-fi habitats! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Space Terrapin Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Lovely build and story! Well done, it's great to have you on the team! Quote
