Ookami Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Year 1947. The Second World War is over. Johnny Thunder has left all of his adventures behind and now working at one of the australian universities. His archenemy, Baron Von Sinster is buried under the ruins of the Golden Dragon temple after the infamous Orient expedition, which took place right before the war. Though, unexpected letter from Johnny's uncle, professor Kilroy, makes Thunder worry: "Dear nephew, I know that you are done with your adventures, but now like never before I need your help. Remember the secret society called "Enceladus", which I used to tell you about long time ago and member of which I personally was in 1917. This is not as simple as you might think - I haven't told you all the exact details assuming them to be burried with the events of 1920. My old friend, Tadeusz MacBright, who was a leader of the "Enceladus", became obsessed with the ideas offinding force so powerful and so infinite, that none of us can even imagine. With great efforts of mine and my few clearheaded fellows, we managed to stop Tadeusz and other members of the society. 27 years ago, on the island, map of which I send with this letter, we faced forces, that are beyond our consciousness, beyond everything, we barely managed to stop the dark ritual. Tadeusz himself, fell into the abyss, so I suppose him being dead. Other members of his spiritual experiment were arrested. Though, the war gave the "Enceladus" a second chance. The society was revived under the leadership of Von Smidt and now growing its strength. Oh, I think I can't write anymore - someone is coming. I'll leave the letter behind the old wardrobe - Mike is warned and he will deliver it with all the necessary items and artifact... Sincerely yours, uncle Kilroy. 15th september, 1947." Having read the letter, Johnny and Mike immediately start a new adventure to find Kilroy. To their fortune, Pippin Reed joins them in an unexpected meet at Sydney docks. They soon find the altar and an artifact called The Book of Dead, which according to Johnny's knowledge was used to summon spectral entities. Though, they find no trace of Kilroy. Being ambushed by Von Smidt and "Enceladus" soldiers, they are trying to escape. Will they? It's a question. To be continued. Adventurers. Pacific island escape by Nick Art, on Flickr Adventurers.

Jellyeater Posted April 15, 2016 Very nice dynamic and dramaturgy. But this MOC deserves to better photos. Try to get plain background without ruck, and try to use day light or correct white balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ookami Posted April 15, 2016 Very nice dynamic and dramaturgy. But this MOC deserves to better photos. Try to get plain background without ruck, and try to use day light or correct white balance. Thanks a lot for critics - I tried to follow your advice and take some shots in the day light, though this background is the best I could get for now, but I will try to improve later:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior Shark Posted April 15, 2016 Neat-o! Adventurers MOCs are always in short supply. That explosion is really well done, and good job finding a use for the new Angry Birds egg pieces. My one gripe is that the biplane is just the one from that new Angry Birds set, which isn't very original on your part. And that biplane just doesn't look very good.

Actor Builder Posted April 15, 2016 I agree with Junior Shark. Remove the Angry Birds plane and this would be 10 times cooler. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Junior Shark on the biplane...This MOC is really well done! Whenever you have a golden volume with a query on the cover, you can expect Excitement to commence.
