mrcp6d Posted May 31, 2015 Location: I06 - Yetornius Tags: Exploration --Weekly Explorer's Transmission-- --Log of Eagle-Eye Silver-- I was sent by Lord Business to explore Yetornius, and spent a few days skimming the tortured volcanic surface with my jetpack. Octan Corp's intelligence apparatus suggested a moderate alien presence, but until day 6 when I stopped at a supply drop (I’ll have to thank the logistics team, the Octan flag was a welcoming and highly visible indicator!) to refuel the jetpack's awesomnium tanks that I saw any life whatsoever. Luckily I had just finished topping off the tanks when the lava wyrm exploded out of a relatively cool magma pipe. It seems the life forms of this planet avoid the lava seas living instead among the cooler zones where there is more stable ground. I'll have to report this to our science teams. Both Dr. Long and Comrade Commander will be interested to look into how this gigantic creature survives on this hostile world. --End of Log Entry-- Some builder's notes: I found I was woefully unprepared to do a build with lighting from below. I've got nowhere near enough trans orange, yellow and red pieces! I tried to compensate by going with a more "solid" landscape rather than the large expanses of lava a lot of the rest of us have built. I've had the ice cream pieces for quite some time for uses just like this, but I was surprised at just how fragile the connections are between them. It's almost as if TLG is toying with us by giving us a connection that almost, just barely, functions until you look at it wrong! Photography here is pretty "meh" too, I need to get some other colors of poster board--I think an orange would have been good here. A couple more on Flickr. C&C appreciated!

pombe Posted May 31, 2015 I think your photography is fantastic! Great lava effects and cooled molten lava! Excellent lava wyrm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckElBerg Posted June 1, 2015 Haha, love the use of ice-cream for steam vapor! In general, it's a great build, nice looking surface, cool wyrm, etc! Also, I like that your estimates for the usage time of the jetpack is almost identical to what I envisioned in my build this week. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted June 1, 2015 Absolutely fantastic! I love the smoothness of the cooled lava. The lava wyrm is perfect as is the jetpack. The border is nice as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boxerlego Posted June 2, 2015 Wow, Great build! Excellent work on the Lava Wyrm. Very dragon like. The Lava build looks awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Space Terrapin Posted June 2, 2015 Very very good build. The wyrm is suitably scary and the jetpack vapour well worth the effort you put into balancing it, I can imagine that was frustrating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted June 3, 2015 Great build - love the jetpack and rockwork! Wow, Great build! Excellent work on the Lava Wyrm. Very dragon like. The Lava build looks awesome. Very nicely done! Thank you all! Very very good build. The wyrm is suitably scary and the jetpack vapour well worth the effort you put into balancing it, I can imagine that was frustrating! Thanks man. There is some clutch power between the ice cream pieces. Some fun examples. (In addition to mine ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
