Kolonialbeamter Posted April 29, 2016 Aaaand it's me again, As threatened promised, here's the MOC I was referring to when I posted this scene. A River Runs Through It Captain's Log, April 29th, 616AE: In the early afternoon we finished setting up camp at the beach, and immediately afterwards I had two armed scouting parties sent out to make a perimeter check. Also, the royal geologist from Granoleon - who was assigned to my company by direct order of the Intendant Général des Finances - insisted to have his mission started right away. So I had him escorted by a 2nd platoon, and they went off into the jungle to take mineral samples from various locations. Let's see what they find. Not that I could be bothered. I'd much rather see a fresh water source located soon... and if somebody could catch some fish, that'd make my day! about: Again, not really much to tell, pretty basic stuff. It's a dull prospecting scene, but to add some fun, I tried myself on a little creek with some tiny (not so rapid) rapids and some fishy action. Still not too familiar with rockwork, but I hope it doesn't look too boring. C&C welcome! Vive le Roi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 29, 2016 Another great build KB, love the stream and the fish jumping out, and the vegetation and minifig-posing are excellent as usual! As to the rock-work, that is really pretty much something you learn how to do by doing it over and over again! Here it could use a bunch of smaller slopes and cheese sloops, and as you'll notice, it looks best over by the front of the stream where you did just that! Also, usually - though not always - it's good to divide up more between the dark and light grey rocks, since it can look a bit jumbled otherwise, and you are using maybe a few too many wedge plates to get a smooth surface (rocks, although irregular, are generally found smooth in nature). However, you did hit upon one of the hardest ways to do rock-work right here - studs out and without a whole bunch of space up or down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted April 29, 2016 Quite a pretty landscape scene The trees and stream make the build look quite lively, and you have some great fig posing, especially for a digital build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted April 30, 2016 Haha ! A good scene ! I don't think you will be able to eat some fish soon, seing your sailors unable to catch one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gideon Posted April 30, 2016 Nice base and vegetation! Those trees couldn't have been easy to make digitally? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
