Vedauwoo Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Location: E03 - Ertauq Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Exploration ...{{){})})(>......[begin log transmission]:: Day 5....After days of bland unchanging grey sand desert, finally came across something interesting....a mineral deposit of some sort.... SATCAM image from Ertauq: The metallic minerals seem to be aligned to the planet's magnetic field.....the resulting stress points allow eruptions of gas and liquid that deposit a crystalline mineral....nearly clear to blue in colour: There is also a curious life form...a semi-sentient plant of some sort....I will call them "frond friends" for now...as they are quite pleasant, and make good company... Overall, the YV-745 that M.A.N.T.I.S. provided has worked rather well....for a simple transport mission... Other than being a bit ugly, it was a fun ride.....I look forward to my next assignement..... Edited September 15, 2015 by Vedauwoo Quote
SpacerSteve Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Wow great first build for MANTIS. Cool vehicles. I bet Mystic Modulus would love to get his hands on some of those "Frond Friends". The geysers and roadway are well done. Quote
Jody Meyer Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Cool use of the phones, good build even though it's Mantis Quote
Garmadon Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Excellent vehicle and very nice build, those plants are quite cool, and the gasses coming out of the ground are great as well! Quote
pombe Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Great vehicle, great landscape, great presentation and photography and perspective, and great narrative. AND ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ALIENS. Quote
Andromedas Gates Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 The judges awarded you 5 points. Quote
Vedauwoo Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks so much for the compliments....I must graciously thank my recent LUGbulk order for all the nifty parts I had to use! ....and of course, thanks to Peter Reid for showing me how many cool ways a "telephone" can be used....lol Quote
LittleJohn Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Fantastic first build for MANTIS! The aliens are super cute and I love the use of telephones Quote
