Axle, the Octan crew meet up aboard one of the landing craft specifically designed for their sudden fury of oceanic explorations. As Dr. Long explains, this craft includes a small dry dock designed to quickly deploy a variety of exploration craft. The crew are both pleased with the new equipment and disturbed at the sight of Dr. Long with her hair down. Pilot John Hannibal is the first to field test the new dry dock. He readies his new sub for a mission to capture a new species of whale and/or fish discovered on H09. This beast has a very tough skin that allows it to land on and roll from the sharp, jagged rocks of the island shores. Once studied and replicated, it could mean a great tactical advantage to the Octan merchantmen, should conflict arise. PLATFORM 1 by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr The deck lowers the sub into rising water. Soon, the bay will be full and the sub can proceed forward.

aeralure Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 That dry dock is awesome! The ship is great too. In particular there, I really like the contrast between the front and back of it in terms of style - it's unified as a ship - it just looks great having all that grey engine-type stuff going on on the front of it in contrast to its Octan-ness in the back. Well done! Quote
mrcp6d Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Very cool sub! The dry dock is a nice bit of work too Quote
mccoyed Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Too cool. Love the beastie chasing the sub in that last shot. Quote
NuckElBerg Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Great looking sub and dock, really nice effects! I also like the incorporation of your Challenge 1-build in the last shot! Awsome! Quote
robuko Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Nice idea, nice build. I like all the greebs on the inner surface of the dock, though they would be rather impractical. Quote
EpsilonEta Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Ohh, so the creature is bending backwards in the challenge. (I thought it was cool with the eyes on the jaw) Quote
Zaael Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Turned out very cool! I like all of us being there as well! Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Great work! I like the Octan logo and very nice sub! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Brilliant idea with the moving platform here and the execution is top notch as well! For some reason I really like the shot with water inside the dock. The last chase scene is awesome as well! Quote
Kodan Black Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Oh, I see me! Love that dock. Cool how it has all the little areas around it that make it more "real" and the fact that it lowers is just amazing. The last drydock shot with the water is my favorite. And the sub chase scene is worth keeping even if it can't be judged as a whole! Quote
kabel Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Great to see so many of our sigfigs gathered in one shot! awesome craft as well, wish I could build those! Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Oh, I forgot the first time. Can I get a clone too? Quote
Boxerlego Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Wow Excellent Build and Scene! That is a good use of Technic parts! Excellent work on everything! Quote
Garmadon Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Fantastic ship and dock goatman, and the shark is superb as well! Quote
goatman461 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Thank you for all of the comments. I'm glad y'all liked it Nice idea, nice build. I like all the greebs on the inner surface of the dock, though they would be rather impractical. how so? it's suppose to be pumping equipment, I will admit that the greebles do kind of get in the way of the platform moving straight up and down, but i figured they looked pneumatic enough to work underwater while i'm at it, i'll also admit that hannibal's double is actually in the cockpit on the halfway down shot, oops Oh, I forgot the first time. Can I get a clone too? Guy could be in there as one of the ones with a hat, but i don't have your hair or torso so we'll have to go different outfit and a hat for now.

This is highly unprofessional of you all to point at my hair while I am explaining the functions of our new craft!" Beautiful build, Goatman! I love how you combined the nature challah get with your industrial free build! The scene is excellent, and kudos for adding so many Octan employees to the build! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
TheUtilityBelt Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Cool sub! The cockpit area is my favorite. Quote
Jody Meyer Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Hmmm must have been relaxing on the beaches of E02...great build did someone get a selfie of Dr Long with her hair down?....awesome dry dock. Quote
