mediumsnowman Posted July 23, 2015 Location: H07- Quantus III Tags: Civil, Exploration, Land/Water Vehicle (Surfboard, judges will have to decide if it counts ) Log of Jebediah O'Reilly, Entry #011 I have landed on Quantus III. The awesomnium in plentiful, however I'm not here for awesomnium. After many weeks of pestering the board, my vacation request has finally been granted! After 10 long, hard weeks of exploring Andromeda, I guess they figured us Octan employees finally deserved a break! Quantus III is a lovely planet located near to the homeworld, perfect for vacationing. [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation Jeb relaxes in the sun while Guy enjoys a popsicle. [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation Wick Nole goes fishing and, well... I'm not sure exactly what Pombe is doing [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation Who knew Bob was a good swimmer? [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation Meanwhile Dr. Long hits the surf! Extra Pictures: [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation [O-H07] Rest and Relaxation No figures. My favorite detail is probably the Octan colored beach blanket Thanks for looking! It was fun to make a more lighthearted build after last week. Comments and criticism welcome!

Kodan Black Posted July 23, 2015 Ooohhh... Octan beach towels! Nice usage of the trans-pieces for the water and it getting lighter in towards shore. The rock in the front left feels a bit of an after thought. I think I would have either made it more prominent or dropped it. But generally a nice, relaxing build. I have to wonder how Pombe seems to be able to constantly be off at the beach though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jody Meyer Posted July 23, 2015 Wow Dr. Long surfing? wow how did you manage that? I know why the water is turning blue by pombe... Kidding. Great build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I now realize it looks kind of out of place... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 24, 2015 Nice change of pace for AG's current political situation. But of course, Octan can afford to relax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted July 24, 2015 Really nice build! I like the tree design and the water is great too One suggestion for improvement, would be to have the sand step up a little bit from the water. Here's a good example of what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a good example of what I mean Thank you! If I make any more water builds I'll definitely try to implement that. Unfortunately as I built this I was running low on tan plates. Maybe it's time to visit Bricklink again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shmails Posted July 25, 2015 Great work, I like this border much better. I like how much action you got into a small scene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sal Posted July 25, 2015 Great build! It's good to see everyone chilling out, and not a scorpion in sight! Just one minor suggestion: in the first photo I'd have been tempted to crop out that bit of beige in the top left hand corner. You'd only lose that tiny bit of rock in the bottom right that isn't clearly visible anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd only lose that tiny bit of rock in the bottom right that isn't clearly visible anyway Thanks! That bit is actually the edge of my photobox. I almost cropped it out but I'm kinda paranoid about having my EB photos exactly 800x600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannylonglegs Posted July 26, 2015 Hahaha! Great job! The Octan crew on vacation! Good idea removing H3 from the scene... he doesn't want Dr. Long seeing him drink! he'd have to be a bit more discrete than that! Also, love how Badass Dr. Long looks here! Serious even while surfing! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pombe Posted July 27, 2015 Aw yeah... This is how we do it. Great scene with so many Octan players chillaxing! Now I need a Mai Tai or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
