The target is a small military outpost in QUAN POH, having to destroy:

-the SSM launcher

-the helicopter, which is a direct copy of the Erotema ApaGer (yes, a mix between the Apache and the Eurocopter Tiger).

-the fuel

Some close ups of the chopper

The best friend of an MBT, with 16 missiles and a lovely 30-mm chain gun. It also carries 4 small AA missiles.

 

A towed SSM launcher.

The raft hits the beach

And the commandos deploy to take good positions. Two lobsters scape from them!

An enemy appears through the landing pad

And few more on the mud road

But, as usual and when engaging the Erotema commandos, death is what they find

While the others scape like rats leaving a sinking ship.

 

Meanwhile, in the gunfight, the raft pilot chases the lobsters after he turned the raft for a quick scape

Once the area is temporarily secured, explosives are placed

A trophy!

The assault team returns to the raft

And the explosives blow up

But faulty explosives make little damage. Damn!

 

 

Results:

-2 enemies killed

-1 SSM launcher destroyed

-1 attack helicopter destroyed

-some fuel burned

-2 lobsters captured

It certainly looks nice. Ever considered adding more grass pieces?

[sigpro]

Thanks for commenting. This place is supposed to be in a cold area with little vegetation, that's why I didn't add grass.

That picture with the guys in the raft looks very similar to one of our OLD promo pictures from when we first started the game haha. I did a double take.

You are right! But this one has no submarine and they are in an attack attitude ?

Nice story ... nice build !!!

Wanted more detail on the ground i think.

[sigpro]

I should attend a webinar-course-bootcamp-whatever in which I can improve my skills about terrain detailing.

if you find anything in youtube or elsewere let me know ;)

I want some courses too :p

I actually found some PDFs a while back for building different terrain and things. Let me see if I can dig them up and I'll figure out a way to share them here.

Please!!!

Judges’ comments…

I really wanted to score this build higher. I loved the radar building, the Missile Trailer, and the Helicopter. Those items were really nicely done. The terrain just didn't do it for me though. Next time maybe focus on a slightly smaller build so you can do a little bit more with your terrain. You'll get there! Nice job!      

PROS: The well built assault helicopter is the one that dominates the scene. Also the massive mobile SSB launcher is very nice and noticeable is the barbed wire

CONS: The effort in the build of the helicopter, and the other constructions is diametrically opposed to the minimal importance you gave to the ground and the coast. Too many straight lines amd flat ground from earth to sand and to the sea 

SUGGESTIONS: You could raise the back of your build and decendting it to the sea. The sea should be the lowest point, with the shore rising at least 2 to 3 plates, and which should be scattered with 1x1 plates (some of the in dark tan) so to give the feeling of sand. Above if you want to keep the straight line, you have to lift the ground at least one brick. Otherwise you continue the ascent with 2-3 plates and in no case in a straight line, thus giving the feeling that the real ground has. Finally, both the earthen and the rocky part of the soil, to be filled with 1x1 or 1x2 plates to look more natural"

Thanks for playing!

Very cool base, the barrels/barriers made with the tank treads are awesome
