EpsilonEta Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Location: A04 – Mynderis Tags: Piracy, Land vehicle A truck get stoped as it drives up to an awesomnium storage building. Identification and errand please. I'm Star-Lord. Here to... Who? What? You haven't heard of me? Truckers get no respect man. What are you doing here with an empty truck anyway? This is an unloading site. I know right. But I was ordered to pick up a shipment of awesomnium here. Big Sal need it for a new experiment. There is nothing here about such an orders. Really? You should have been informed. Call chief accountant Long, she'll verify it. Ohh, no way! I believe you! Go right in, I tell them you are coming. On the way out Thanks for the help man. No problem. We've had a lot of small problems since Big Sal became the new CEO. It's cool, bye. Later at a Kawashita base. Hello Raven. Hijacked another truck already? No, it's the same truck, just a new load of awesomnium. And we have codewords for a reason. Right. “Stop. This is Kawashita territory.” Huu, “Not a bug in sight.” Try to open with that next time. Had it been an actual MANTIS truck “hello Raven” could destroy my entire operation. Yeah, like if MANTIS would drive a lone truck full of awesomnium here. Have you heard of a Trojan horse? A MANTIS agent could drive in here to spy or even detonate the truck. Ok, I get it. -Report to Kawashita HQ- Today on a small infiltration mission I learned MANTIS have changed there CEO. I don't know what they where thinking but Big Sal, the guy we captured on Sorn who tried to give a Nobel prize to dr Wu is now in charge of all MANTIS in Andromeda. -End report- Well, as you see, Raven is back on her original job (before she had to take a day off). The scene. I photoshoped the dome to be more transparent in the story. Here is the guard house with and without dome. The lower level hold the confiscated items. That look like KG boxes, MANTIS must have gotten them somehow Then someone without the proper papers were carrying a too large gun. Extra picture of the gun. As I made the truck I thought the front looked empty. While locking for something I found those Ninjago spiked wrecking ball training things and they worked great. Then I added the bars to the windows so the truck got that post apocalyptic feel. But unlike PA the truck also have a lot of chrome and MANTIS engineers definitely designed it that way from the start. What other put on during a zombie apocalypse, MANTIS consider standard equipment The front missile lancher I got from another truck build. A bit of unused story: I would have gotten more awesomnium but MANTIS was very hard on not overloading the truck. (as in, I didn't have more purple parts) Strange as they have a fat missile launcher in the front. I accidentally fired one when looking for the hand break. Apparently they aren't big on warning signs. A “learn or blow up” approach I guess. Edited August 23, 2015 by EpsilonEta Quote

Blackhawk STX Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Great truck! I loved the use of grills as tread tracks! Quote
Commander Turtle Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Great truck! Really feels like those mega trucks used in mining. Quote
LittleJohn Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Fantastic work here! The dump truck is superb and I really like the guard house Quote
EpsilonEta Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Fantastic build and entertaining story! Thank you! Having two weeks really helped. (and seing the other builds this week I guess not making a cat B helps too ) Great truck! I loved the use of grills as tread tracks! Thanks! I have planed to use that from the start but never made something with wheels before. (KG seams to prefer hovering transports ) Great truck! Really feels like those mega trucks used in mining. Fantastic work here! The dump truck is superb and I really like the guard house Thank you both but I tried to go for a (oversized) regular truck (but with balloon wheels because there is no roads). I actually started making a dump truck (with triangular “cargo area”?) but it didn't fit the story about loading boxes. But now I got hung up on details. Happy you like the truck (whatever you call it ) Quote
