Tomsche Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 For my weekly contribution, I was `assigned` to build on Guinevere as the corporation is vying for dominance there facing off MANTIS. Considering the planet is all deserts and lava streams, and my challenge was yesterday`s desert micro build, I wanted to go for the other `face` of the planet, the lava. *** Start Log *** Junali 19th, AD 3825 Thesseus B. Von Geekington reporting After our initial scans yesterday revealed that the planet is largely covered in seas of sand, we have also defined that the Gold ore is mainly located in the rougher areas, dominated by lava streams. Orders from command are that I have to seek out these concentrations of the precious ore, as my teams extreme environment equipment is highly suited for this. Together with LV-426, our general extreme conditions droid, I took one of our pulse rafts and set out on one of the lava rivers to have a look around. I will send up all information to our ship in the orbit, in order to have the findings relayed to corporation headquarters. *** End Log *** Well, a few experiments for me in this build, most notably the rafts side `cushions`, and I must say I`m rather happy with how it all turned out in the end.

SpacerSteve Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ironic having an ice planet suit in a lava river. I like how you did the lava wake off the raft. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Really cool pulse raft, clever shaping for the nose Quote
Legocity2713 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Haha, love the swamp boat style look. Good work. :thumbup: Quote
mrcp6d Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 This is the second brick-built inflatable boat I've seen for AG! I like this a lot, especially since you went to the effort of building your own boat rather than just using the TLG inflatable. Quote
shmails Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Really cool! There is a real sense of motion here! Quote
Tomsche Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks all about the comments! About the ice suit on a lava world, blame the management, they assign the jobs Quote
Kodan Black Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I like the Zodiac and the shaping of the lava around it. Nice compact build. Quote
