[GBW] - Gun for hire - Sjørdfjordmoen - The Yeti

--- Pre-Mission ---
Ssg. Konrad Thorsen (over phone): Major, we got a new mission. Our 2 agents in the NIC, so Agent Rasmussen and another one that goes by the name of 'Watt' have done some research on a guy called Nils Albertsen, as he and a few other men raided one of our weapon warehouses near the border with Drageid. Turns out he is a terrorist up in the mountains of his country. People them call him 'The Yeti'. He must be stopped, he could have valuable intel we need, or worse.
Major Gundersen (over phone): Nils Albertsen... that name seems familiar. He's got a many stains on his criminal record. Erasing them would do it, so you have execute authority. Who's your crew?
Ssg. Konrad: Out of my squad, Svensen and Vinter. Rasmussen and Watt will join us too.
Major Gundersen: Alright, don't disappoint me.

Drone runs revealed a hidden hatch in the forest that The Yeti seems to frequent. Could eventually lead to an underground bunker or a tunnel system.

Ssg. Thorsen: Alright boys, let's kick this off.

Watt: It's pitch black in here. Anyone got a flashlight?
Cpl. Vinter: Negative. We can't risk getting seen.
Rasmussen: Well, crap.
Ssg. Thorsen: Shut up and move up!
Distant voice: Where... is... the... money!
Cpl. Svensen: Must be The Yeti. Any chance he got hostages?
Ssg. Thorsen: Probably. That'll only make things wo-
Watt: HALT! TRIP MINE!

Rasmussen: Get back, I've got bomb training!
Watt: Let's hope you do...
Rasmussen: Ah, alright. Improvised. Poorly done, most probably in a hurry.

*click, click, then clicking stops*
Rasmussen: Defused. Piece o' cake.
Cpl. Vinter: Good job. Let's continue moving, I'm slowly getting tired of all the dirt here!
Watt: Hold.

Voice 1: Ah, so you think you're strong? I guess if beating the truth out of you isn't working, shooting you will!
Cpl. Svensen: Goddamnit, he's got a hostage. Move, move, move!
Voice 2: HELP! HEEELP!
Voice 1: No one can help you now, you fool!

Voice 1: What the-
*BANG*
Watt: Yeti's down, let's check on the hostage!
Hostage: No, no, NO! Don't shoot me!
Watt: You're safe now, mate. Calm down.

Hostage: Oh my god, I've seen death with my own eyes! I saw the fricking bullet in the barrel of his gun! Thank you so much!
Watt: Are you alright?
Hostage: Ugh, I don't know... I think he broke my arm with his baseball bat.
Ssg. Thorsen: Wolf 1-5 to Actual, main target is KIA. Prep medical, he had a hostage.

--- Notes ---
I've actually taken those pictures in the dark for the effect of darkness, and it's taken a long time to think of the story. The first scenario was that they find his house up in the hills and wait for him there, the 2nd one was that the squad went to the bar to seize him there, but to be honest, I think that the 3rd one is the most interesting one.

Good. I like the storyline. The build itself could have a bit more, but its fine. Some little details like some textured bricks on the wall would have been nice. In the future you should definetly focus more on the build itself, because there is not much to look at here. Still, its fine.

So, you mean like more details and stuff? Got it.

The problem is, I don't spend all of my time with my LEGO bricks, and thats why I dont have so many of them, or special ones. Right now, graduating is the most important thing to me. I will try to find a way to make my builds better.

Upon investigation after the event, it was found that the raid was conducted on a copycat. The REAL Yeti struck again 2 days later and is still on the lose. 

In a nutshell, the build had a minimum size requirement not shown in your pictures here. 32x32 minimum. In addition, your entire ground layer used here is not Lego. You can't use third party building bricks.

Well, the problem is that I've only got those baseplates, as I bought some on Amazon. Is an exception possible?

[Feuer Zug]

Hide the baseplates would be my suggestion. Or at least put enough stuff on the baseplates so that you can't really tell. Tiles work well, or build with plates to create the floor. For this build, a rougher texture for the walls and floor would have worked well as an underground hideout.

Even more creative, yet piece intensive, would be to build the floor out of bricks turned sideways, then use bricks with studs on the side to connect the various people, furniture, and other items. An example or sorts of the technique can be found here:https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/115569-navy-seabee/ I used the sides of bricks to create the base for my Seabee model and as a means to put text with it. Many people do similar for MILS module roads.

For the size, go bigger if you can. The edges of pictures can leave a lot out. If the minimum is 32x32 for a build, I tend to go 40x40 or larger to ensure what I show in the picture fits the requirements. While this may not be possible with your options, at least ensure we see the full 32x32 baseplate. Use all of it for the build and show it.
