Decale Posted July 10, 2010 Hi! When I was a kid I was obsessed by my Dino Research Compound, I just couldn't stop playing with it. As an AFOL, I tried to recreate the feeling of it, with some used adventurers sets I got for a reasonable price and most of the parts of the 5987 somebody sold me for 15€. I don't own a lot of parts so my MOC sometimes suffers of bad colors.. Anyway here is my... AVENTURERS BASE A view of the front of the building A close-up of the front. The base is supposed to be half built in a cave/close to a mountain... Working garage door! A pic of the side, imagine it all grey, or all brown And here come the interior: It is full of life! Including non-human... beuuurk Some crates and guns ready to be taken for an exploration. I like how you can stack those brown crates. The storage room, behind the truck, where our friend Johnny is getting ready for some expedition. Notice that his backpack will not only contain his lunch Here we have Mrs Read operating the radar to track some dinosaurs on the island. There is also a hidden machine gun. The small kitchen. I added the cook from the BBQ stand just for fun, he's not part of any adventurers-related scenario Here is the Professor's office. From his desk he can keep an eye on all the base. I love the printed parts with the pictures of johnny thunder, I'm really happy to have those two! If you know about the Research Compound, you should remember this structure, which used to protect a radar... Well my version is a little more aggressive And finally, because vehicles have always been important to the Adventurers theme, let me show you those two cars: A little truck full of villains And a modified version of the sooo great Scorpion Tracker Ok I'm done now! I'm not really satisfied with this base, I find it a bit childish and it definitely needs more brown parts. Actually, it looks like something I would have built as a kid, so we can say that I caught the idea of a new research compound The pictures were taken with my Nokia 5530, so they are bad. I'll steal a real camera next time. I would love some comments and constructive criticism, it's always a pleasure to share ideas withs FOLs See ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted July 10, 2010 Nice base for the Thunder-From-Down-Under 'Decale' - a lot of classic styling here - feel's very 1990's - good work and I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decale Posted July 11, 2010 Thank you guys, sorry again for the bad pictures. And the lack of a proper background. And the color mismatch. This construction will be demolished soon to incorporate new part I just received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
