Kai NRG Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Edit: Whoopsie! Location: I06 Tags: Airplane [Actually helicopter but that isn't there], Water Vehicle, Building, Science Excerpt from Guy Wynd's pilot log: Delivered supplies as per assignment to the base on Yetornius. They seemed to be having a good time, were just about to try out the hopefully lava resistant speedercraft. Their scientist was praising it to the skies but he didn't volunteer and got back into the lab asap. The poor guy who did end up taking the trip didn't seem overly confident. Seems like all went well tho. Base construction would seem to be done. They've got one tower, lab and storehouse in one, then a crane and drilling platform, zip lines back and forth, plus a small docking area. As long as the predatorial life stays away don't think they'll be having much trouble! Docking area: The white building is modular, that is, it has removable roofs, besides a ladder from one story to the next. Here's a shot inside the first story, the lab: And here's one of the second story: The speedercraft: The platform features a forkliftish thing and a drill. And a few shots of the helicopter. Why is it that I always make my cockpits so tiny! No doing barrel rolls in this puppy! It's only got one job: to transport Octan supplies into rough places! Lastly, another overview from a higher angle: Fortunately, as it turned out the forecast was about as wrong as wrong could be and yesterday was, well, not what I would consider a nice day, but a nice day for taking pictures! Overall this was an enjoyable build, I definitely like lava! C&C appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to look it over!

pombe Posted May 31, 2015 What a great outpost! It has so many features (what a cute helicopter!) and makes a wonderful playset! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckElBerg Posted May 31, 2015 Had to read through the story carefully to realize the purpose of having an outpost in the mddle of a field of lava! ^^ Anyway, nice build, love the little added details and the sideways use of arcs to create a round hole.

Space Terrapin Posted June 1, 2015 This is a really good build, all the industrial greebling and details makes it seem like a really functional outpost! I must confess I'm not convinced about the helicopter - it just seems a bit too small and blocky - but that's a very minor criticism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks everyone for the comments! Lovely base! Those vehicles are great too! I especially like that cute and compact helicopter! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Trying to get a guy in that cockpit was a pain... Thanks! This is a really good build, all the industrial greebling and details makes it seem like a really functional outpost! I must confess I'm not convinced about the helicopter - it just seems a bit too small and blocky - but that's a very minor criticism. Thanks Space Terrapin! You might be right about the helicopter. I'm not much of a vehicle builder, so hopefully this will help me improve a bit there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
