LittleJohn Posted June 28, 2015 Location: E02-Jurin II Tags: Vehicle, Exploration Job: Explorer After delivering my rock samples from Guinevere back to HQ, I was asked to test out the new T4 Jeep in the jungles of Jurin II. I accepted the job. Picked up a few plant samples to take back to Dr.Arvan 'Yrich Arkov's lab, but haven't seen much else of interest so far. Wait.. what was that? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Stay back, I've got a MANTIS™ Death Ray Blaster©, and I know how to use it! The alien stared at me with his baseball size eyes, not moving. I relaxed my grip a little on the Death Ray Blaster©. Just then, I had a brilliant idea; I got out a coil of rope and made a lasso out of it. The alien seemed disturbed by this movement, and started to turn away. I threw before he could get to far though, and hauled back on the rope, to stop his progress. It was then a simple matter to tie him to the back of the T-4 and tow him along behind. Big Sal's gonna love this! A few more pics: More pictures here: Link C&C welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted June 28, 2015 Nice aliens and clever use of those wheels on the trees. Surprising restraint from a Mantis member to capture the alien! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David FNJ Posted June 29, 2015 That crawling creature is so cool, and quite cute XD Love the tree trunks and the dark pink slopes. The vehicle too is very nice. We give Big Sal lots to do XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted June 29, 2015 Great build and colors as always - I love the two aliens. My one note mint be the foliage on those orange trees.. they don't seem to have enough leaves to really justify the broad trunks… but over all an awesome build! How do you connect tires like that so that you can angle them? I haven't been able to figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
