dr_spock Posted February 12, 2016 Challenge 1 B Banana Republic by dr_spock_888, on Flickr Our pirate Susieh and her crew came upon a small island in Terra Nova. Danger appeared to lurk on the island. Upon landing on the beach, our pirates smelled a sweet intoxicating banana vapour and followed the scent to a group of natives. They seemed friendly enough. Susieh proceeded to negotiate a trade. Susieh drove a hard bargain with the native islanders. The islanders sought more bananas for their Master Brewer.

Garmadon Posted February 12, 2016 Very nice foliage here Dr_spock, I'm rather wondering what deal they struck at the end! Hopefully it didn't have to do with bananas though as I suspect that monkey is up to no good! My one piece of advice would be to texture the beach a bit to break up the flatness - and to watch out for that alligator! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 12, 2016 Wait... you mean those native men know the meaning of the word "babe?" Huh... they must be more advanced than I thought... Beautiful little scene. The tree leaf pieces make good bushes/shrubs and the angle of the build is nice for the square base. Maybe the sand is a little plain, but overall it's a good layout. And the croc half submerged in the water is a fine feature. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going for silky smooth beach with the six pack abs look from those vacation paradise TV ads. I'll try some texturing for a future MOC. Those natives sure do speak a strange futuristic language, almost like before their time. I've got some banana juice, t...HURK! Ugh.... LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
