Bob De Quatre Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 tags: Vehicle, land vehicle, spaceship, science, exploration In a remote place of Arium Minor, Maria Bard and Gilles Stray are analyzing a vein of awesomnium. Its surface is liquid and emits a nauseous and poisonous gas. But some species seems to have evolved to support the awesomnium gas. But that's not the case of Maria and Gilles, so they came in a Scarab, an all-terrain armored science and exploration vehicle, driven by Kay Turrock. Guys, I think you should hurry with your studies... I'm a bit worried of the fauna here! Don't tell me your afraid of that Royal pseudo-snail? You should know it's not a dangerous species, unless you try to eat it, as its flesh is poisonous. No, I was talking about that Spider Cat that's lurking in the rocks over there! Kay is right Maria, we should hurry. I've collected all the data needed, but we should brought back a live specimen. Grab that frog over there. Eww... I don't like frogs! Ok, I'll get it... All the samples are safe. And I've started transmitting all the collected datas to HQ. We're ready to go then. I'll turn the Scarab around and prepare it for leaving. Scarab one to Dragonfly. Do you copy? Dragonfly to Scarab one. Do you need a ride Kay? Yep, we're ready and prepared to get back. I'm on my way! A few minutes later... Latches are locked... Ready for takeoff Kay? That's the best part of the day, Bob! That's right! Up we go then! Will post better pictures of the Scarab and Dragonfly later next week. It work!! Here are the pictures of the Dragonfly, and the LDD file is available on my website: Here are the pictures of the Scarab, and of course the LDD file is available on my website: Quote
MontyPython Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Fantastic build! It didn't take you long to find out where to use those Minecraft parts, right? Quote
FiddyB Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 wow, brilliant. I really love the use of the Minecraft "Eye of Ender" pieces for the Spider Cat's eyes. And congrats to your sister, Uncle Bob. Fiddy Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Your two alien animals are really good, especially that snail. But the dragonfly lift function really sells this MOC! The scarab is really cool too - looking forward to getting more pictures of both vehicles! Quote
bricklover Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 The animals are really good! I love the landscape and the vehicles as well! Quote
VK-318 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 This is one of those builds where I really just don't know where to start. Maybe someday I'll be able to build vehicles like that. Until then, I'm more or less speechless. Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Man, the Dragonfly takes the cake! I really need to get some of those white balloon shells. Can't wait to see more pictures of the builds! Edited March 20, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote
Big Sal Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 OK, I was already thinking this was awesome (that snail!)... but then the Dragonfly showed up Amazing stuff! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Seriously cool stuff in this build. I love the interior of the Scarab. The grab action on the dragonfly is wonderful too. I really hope you put the instruction for this one up someday. Your builds always have some really great angles and greebles that make them very fun to look at. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) This. Is. Amazing. Although it does take all the attention away from the awesome royal pseudo-snail! Edited March 21, 2016 by Mr Greeble Quote
LucasLaughing Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 This turned out really well! I love the Scarab - awesome angles on the body, and those big tires look great. I also like the three-person cockpit, and as for the Dragonfly ... :thumbup: Quote
rodiziorobs Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I won't pretend I'm not just a little jealous of this It looks superb! Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks everyone Here are the pictures of the Dragonfly, and the LDD file is available on my website: Quote
Kodan Black Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Love the snail! The Dragonfly is amazing. Not only does it actually latch onto the Scarab, but it looks like a Dragonfly! Just fantastic build. I feel like I could stare at the Dragonfly for hours and find new things to like constantly. Quote
halixon Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 First of all, That vehichle looks really tough! Second, those alien creatures are cute and awesome at the same time! And third, but not least, the terrain is very nice. I like the flow of awesomnium. Great job! Quote
goatman461 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Octan's first perfect 10! Great job Bob. The wings and cockpit on the dragonfly are sick. Great subtle details throughout, as always. The landscaping is also really well done with a cool spill over effect and great rock-work. To me, the cartoonish creatures stand out a bit next to your more realistic vehicles, but the snail has some cool part usage. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks Here are the pictures of the Scarab, and of course the LDD file is available on my website: Quote
Blufiji Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Great work, love the playability of both vehicles. Quote
MaasEffekt Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Very nice! I love the Dragonfly! And the snail! :) May i ask about the Dragonfly pilot's torso? Is it a custom torso? I like it very much, and i have a little collection of Octan minifigs. Quote
Staslegomaster Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 A cool fantastic story reminding of "Avatar". The amazing spaceship looks like a dragonfly. Quote
Gunman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Owwwww man :wub: This Dragonfly is pure awesomeness... I really like the use of those white "hot air baloon" pieces.... Such a CUTE spaceship. Edited March 23, 2016 by Gunman Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks again guys May i ask about the Dragonfly pilot's torso? The torso if exclusive to Benny's Spaceship. The amazing spaceship looks like a dragonfly. What a coincidence, it's also its name!! Quote
MaasEffekt Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The torso if exclusive to Benny's Spaceship. Thank you! I will try to get one. Quote
monsinjor Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Awesome and fantastic! The idea, the shape... great build. Quote
