AC_ Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Just thought I'd share my latest MOC as I don't get much built that often. This is a small display showing part of an Arctic research building with a couple of vehicles outside. The larger tracked vehicle turned out to be an ugly beast of sorts, but I really wanted to try and use the helicopter cockpit windows (part 11289) on the front if I could, which proved difficult. There's also various SNOT on the snowmobile and brick separators on the building walls which I wanted to try out. Not the best photography, but I think it'll suffice. Full album of pictures which includes some more shots of the vehicles can be found by clicking here; https://www.flickr.c...57650420476168/ Any and all comments welcome and thanks for looking. Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I really like separators-use! But why it's so empty? Quote
AC_ Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the comments so far. The emptiness is partly because I couldn't think of anything else to put in there. I may make some additions to it at some point in the future when inspiration hits me. Quote
Murdoch17 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I really like the build. The orange tracked vehicle reminds me of a Jawa Sandcrawler from Star Wars. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Nice build, I like the big vehicle and the interesting snow speeder bike. Cool technique with the railing in the base. Quote
AC_ Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the comments. It wasn't intentional, but I thought the same about the tracked vehicle resembling a Sandcrawler from Star Wars once I'd finished it. Quote
gazumpty Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Wow...this is looking really cool. I love the design of the building and your 'sandcrawler'esque' vehicle. Brilliant. If your looking to fill it...try getting a lot of trans clear objects (cups, wine glasses, beakers etc) and design out a working lab. I did this with my Winter Contest Build and found it a lot of fun! (hopefully be putting some proper pics up of that soon). Plus some living accommodation but more suitable for this type of research centre? The only other thing I would suggest would be to build up your exterior and work on your Arctic landscaping. Check out some of the recent Winter builds for snow techniques (tracks, dunes etc) and I think it will really set your building up well Great work! Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Excellent work there 'AC_'......that crawler reminds me of something from a movie ! (though I don't think I have a new hope of remembering it ) Brick On 'AC_' ! Quote
AC_ Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for the comments. Need more practice with landscaping. Not done much of it before, so thanks for the tips. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I really like the build. The orange tracked vehicle reminds me of a Jawa Sandcrawler from Star Wars. I was just about to say just that. Murdoch17 was faster! Quote
