Ninja Nin Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 M.A.N.T.I.S Engineering Department Date : 21 Junali 3815 Location : Guinevere - A06 Environment : Arid Desert, Lava Flows Participants : Ninja Nin, SpacerSteve's Intern, Little John Enemy spotted : Commander Turtle, Graham Gidman Log update : I've arrived on Guinevere early this week, but then I heard about the ceasefire rumor from Kawashita. THAT MOMENT ....... when you heard about the ceasefire from Kawashita, but you have already landed on Guinevere to start the M.A.N.T.I.S. domination. Nevertheless, we M.A.N.T.I.S. are here for the gold, so I should carry out my duty to construct a gold mine, or more appropriate, the M.A.N.T.I.S. Secret Hide-Out. OK, let's begin a guided tour. First of all, a keep out sign, especially for the Octan. A water tower, important in such dry arid desert environment. Let's go inside. A common room for engineers to relax and play cards. SpacerSteve was supposed to be here to guard the gold storage, but he's on Barker's Folly this week, so his intern is sent here instead. Explorer Little John is on the top spot for a better view as usual. Our hide-out is under attack by the Kawashita: Commander Turtle and Graham Gidman are spotted. Little John and the intern will defend the gold at all cost. It is also the time for me to launch M.A.N.T.I.S. Cannon Hovercraft. Complete Setting : The Gold Mine on Guinevere "M.A.N.T.I.S. Secret Hide-Out", a Sci-Fi adaptation from my childhood favourite : 6761 : Bandit's Secret Hide-Out Hope you like it. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) We weren't attacking. If we had been, that outpost would be under Kawashita control. Great build, man! Edited June 21, 2015 by Graham Gidman Quote
kabel Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Instantly recocinzeable and a very amusing sci-fi adaption. Not so fond of the dead Octanian though ... Quote
aeralure Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Love the build! Lots of nice little details. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Ha nice! My mission was actually a top secret mission to A06. Hope the intern served you well. Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Nicely done! But if it has a big sign saying "Gold Mine", how secret can it be? Quote
mrcp6d Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Ha! I instantly recognized the subject matter--I love that set. This is a great sci-fi update, I love that you kept all the details from the original. The water barrel in particular is nice, though the rock work is fantastic as well. Quote
Mike S Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Great adaptation! I have to say though, if I saw this in the middle of nowhere, I would go investigate too... Quote
Zepher Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Great build! Ton of fun details - love the water tower, and I'm a huge fan of cracked desert floor ALONG with the lava flows - great appropriation of other's imagination, and a great job implementing them. The mine itself is awesome as well, ramshackle and sci-fi at the same time! Kawashita never runs from battle, so I echo they must not have been attacking. Quote
Mark of Falworth Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Nicely done! So many great little details! Keep it up Ninja Nin! Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Fabulous build, Ninja Nin! The dead trees and gold mine are excellent Thanks for including Little John too Quote
mccoyed Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Amazing build, Ninja. That base looks awesome and it has an interior! Spoiled! Quote
Big Sal Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Another great build Ninja! Love your take on this classic set! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Very nice build, both the landscape and the building look fantastic! Love the fact that you included an interior! Quote
Ninja Nin Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Thank you so much everyone for the comments ! Glad to hear many of you love this classic set too .... We weren't attacking. If we had been, that outpost would be under Kawashita control. Great build, man! Ha nice! My mission was actually a top secret mission to A06. Hope the intern served you well. Great build! Ton of fun details - love the water tower, and I'm a huge fan of cracked desert floor ALONG with the lava flows - great appropriation of other's imagination, and a great job implementing them. The mine itself is awesome as well, ramshackle and sci-fi at the same time! Kawashita never runs from battle, so I echo they must not have been attacking. Apparently I wasn't paying much attention this week, not knowing Kawashita's move, and not knowing SpacerSteve's mission on the same planet .... Quote
shmails Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 So good, love the idea as much as the build. The colors are perfect, and the story is great! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Set rebuilds are always fun to see, and this is an outstanding one Glad you included an interior too Quote
Andrew JN Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Great way to transform that set! Great details and guided tour! Quote
Garmadon Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Fantastic landscape and very nice hide-out Ninja Nin! Excellent interior as well! Quote
MKJoshA Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Incredible set re-do! That was one of the best sets created for the Old West theme and your creation is instantly recognizable as a space version! Quote
