Big Sal Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Location: E02 Tags: Land Vehicle (boat), Spying Based on the information from our spies, the Octan sub must be somewhere nearby. Keep looking Grayson! Holy periscope! Over there, Sal! Well spotted Grayson! Ready the MANTIS™ Depth Ray©. We’ll disable the sub’s engines and drive it to the surface. Target locked! Firing! Alright Grayson, cut the MANTIS™ Depth Ray©. They’ve had about enough, I reckon. You’re right, they’re surfacing fast! Now remember, we don’t want to add to M.A.N.T.I.S.’s image problem, so try not to kill anyone. There’s no hurry; it’ll take them days to fix the damage to their engines, so just knock them out or throw them overboard. Ugh, PR takes all the fun out of life. Ready to board – go, go, go! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Er, thanks Grayson. I was just about to do the same thing… Yeah, of course. No problem... Excellent. We’ll interrogate this one when she wakes up. This submarine’s probably full of top-secret research or strategic information. I always knew I’d make a good spy. Just wait until I tell- Er, Sal? -everyone about this! I bet- Sal! What? Oh... I knew we should have killed them. --- Thanks for reading! This week I took inspiration from one of the ever made . C&C welcome! It was tricky to get a decent shot of the whole scene. It's two 48x48 baseplates and I moved the second one around during the photos so there was always ocean in the background. Of course, that meant I had to keep redoing the cheese slope waves Edited February 14, 2016 by Big Sal Quote
woofmcmoose Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Superb. Love the nods to classic batman. The wave effects are very effective too. Quote
StarHawk3 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Nice build. The submarine is great and i like how you did the wake from the periscope and boat. Thanks for reading! This week I took inspiration from one of the ever made . C&C welcome! It looks like you missed a opportunity to get the exploding man eating shark in your build! Quote
Kodan Black Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 The cheese waves are really clever. I admire your dedication for covering 2 48x48 sheets in those clear 1x2s, oof! Good action and a nice and instantly recognizable nod to classic Batman. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I totally get the frustration of trying to stretch those blue baseplates as far as you can! My last three weeks have taken forever to take pictures because I have to keep moving them around! (Of course, I didn't go to the added effort to cover mine with transparent plates or cheese slopes, either!) Great story, great build! Edit: oh, and I love the MANTIS Depth Ray!

Kai NRG Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 A hilarious ending. Nice work with the water spraying out of the sub too. In fact, the water lines in general are really well done! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Your story was great this week. I like the picture of big Sal being chased by the Octan worker with a crowbar. Quote
David FNJ Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Haha, that's great! Another fantastic story, loved the shot with Big Sal running away. Really nice boat and sub! Quote
