Big Sal Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Location: B05 Marphacia Tags: Land Vehicle, Science Note to judges: Only the scenes with the swamp speeder should be judged, the rest re-use my build from last week. I’m just worried after what happened last time. Ah, but last time we didn’t have the expert advice of Ensign Stevens. He’s part of Moose’s team so he’s up to date with all their latest findings. Isn’t that right, Stevens? Err, well… Excellent! Plus, I’ve completely redesigned the stabiliser architecture. Speaking of which, where the hell is Redsyn with the last stabiliser? I’ll give him a call. Redsyn! Where are you? I'm having a little difficulty with the natives. Well, hurry up, will you? I’m getting bored here. Yeah, I’ll try. Some time later… ...and I usually play as Mitgardia. Redsyn! What’s the hold up? Trouble with the locals. Still?! Different ones this time. Unbelievable. Right, let’s just go ahead with three stabilisers. What?? It’ll be fine. We almost had it right last time with four stabilisers, but these new ones are a lot stronger. We could probably even manage with two. What do you think, Stevens? Err, well… Exactly! Norton, activate the stabilisers. Activating stabilisers! Sal, I just did some calculations, and going from fourfold to threefold stabilisation symmetry is likely to decrease the discontinuity threshold by at least seven orders of magnitude! Good point! Norton, only initialise the GATE drive once Stevens and I are a safe distance away. I promised Moose I’d get Stevens back to him in one piece. Wait, what?? Initialising GATE drive! --- To be continued! Thanks for reading, C&C welcome! The build below is the new stuff for this week. More pics of the speeder in the spoiler.

soccerkid6 Posted May 22, 2016 Wonderful shape for the boat, it looks like quite a capable aquatic vehicle, obviously sturdy too to survive both of those vicious attacks by 'locals' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted May 22, 2016 Oooh, that boat is sweet! The use of boats for it is excellent, and I really like the beast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted May 23, 2016 Wow that Frogadile thing is cool. I like how you use the plates for the eyes. Really creative. Issac Redsyn's boat is pretty neat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted May 23, 2016 Is it a hovercraft? Nice design, but yeah that toothy water beast is fantastic. Glad I'm not the one being chased by it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannylonglegs Posted May 29, 2016 As always, Sal, your stories are wonderful and your builds are just as good! I don't know why this post got so little love! Your turtle monster is great! As is the swamp speeder. It makes for a hilarious and tense encounter with the "natives"! Great work! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
