shmails Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Location: F03 - Forring Tags: AG, Octan, F03, Exploration, Ground Vehicle ---------- Start Log ---------- This planet is beautiful, with dense forests and dense vegetation, however this makes it very difficult to navigate and the search for awesomnium has been slow. Thank goodness that the Corporation gave me the keys to the newest toy in the garage: The ThunderStepper 3000. This ExoSuit is wonderful, I have been having loads of fun tromping through the woods, and of course looking for precious materials. I will report back when I am finished, but it may be few days until I have had enough of this tough work! ---------- End Log ---------- more, larger photos here: https://www.flickr.c...157653038277983 Another entry in the continuing saga of Jacques LaRose, explorer for the Octan Corp. I always wanted to do a full exosuit, hope you like it! Inspirational credit for the trees goes to Mark Falworth, his landscaping is always an inspiration! Enjoy! Quote
aeralure Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Oh wow. I love the grabbing and bending of the trees! Beautiful fauna and ground you're stomping over/through. Almost looks like a bansai and the organic aesthetics is supported by a nice non-rectangular base. The exosuit is cool as well. Very nice!! Edited July 2, 2015 by aeralure Quote
Jman44 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Cool exo suit! I like how it contrasts with the darker environment/fauna which is also excellent Quote
NuckElBerg Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Love the scenery and the all white exo suit. Great job as always shmails! Quote
Garmadon Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Fantastic job once again shmails, lovely landscaping and exosuit, the black and pink trees look superb! Quote
Kodan Black Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Oh wow. The photography is ... perfect. Your choice of background suits the colors selected so well. It has a total Asian feel to it with the dark wood and cherry blossom colored leaves. Another masterpiece from you. Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Excellent build shmails, as we've come to expect from you! The pinkish leaves and the yellow flowers go really well with the black trunks and brown scrub all over the ground. You've definitely made good use of the permission to use non-purist foliage! The mech is also really well built, and the choice of background color makes the whole scene pop. Great work! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Any chance you want to defect to Kawashita? Absolutely stunning build! Quote
mccoyed Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Gorgeous scenery and awesome robot. It looks friendly, which I like! Quote
Lady K Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Awesome build, love the exosuit! The black trees with the bright leaves look fantastic and the ground cover is a perfect balance of bushes and flowers, well done! Edited July 2, 2015 by Lady K Quote
mrcp6d Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Mmmm, this is fantastic! I love the colors (is that dark red?) and the walker design is a good blend of almost whimsical structure and clearly technical greebling. Quote
shmails Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks a bunch everyone! I certainly get the Japanese vibe from this one as well, I had to hold off of putting pink flowers in the trees! The actual inspiration was the opening scene of the last Star Trek movie, with the red forest. The leaves are dark red, i messed with the color balance a bit to get this look. They are AltBrick leaves, not official ones, as are the brown leaves and grass pieces. More fun to come! Quote
Zepher Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I kind of feel like I should be some alt brick. Beautiful build - feels autumnal, very calm! Nothing to critique, just keep bringing us stuff as fantastic as this. Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I love mecha! And you did a great job here! The scenery is terrific as well. Really well done! Quote
LucasLaughing Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Beautiful landscape - I really like the color palette you chose for the foliage. Cool walker too! Quote
Boxerlego Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Wow! Stunning build Shmails, excellent work! Love the exosuit! The environment is beautiful certainly looks otherworldly! Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Amazing landscape, shmails! The colors flow together beautifully and I really like the trees Quote
Mike S Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I'll echo what others have said, this is really a beautiful build! Love the yellow flowers popping out against the earth colored grasses! Quote
pombe Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Every time I see a new build from you, I realize just how far I still need to go to become a competent LEGO builder. Your builds will always be an inspiration (and a source for me to steal ideas!). Quote
Big Sal Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Wonderful build and environment as always, and great ExoSuit too! Quote
