Bob of Quatrian's log - Julali 2nd 3816 - "I was sent on an escort mission on Freegate, supervised by the new Special Operation management. I need to protect a drilling team, that have to recover some mithril samples, while a new type of defense system is set up: the Anti Aerial Network Tank. I heard it can destroy any target in a 200km radius thanks to a hyper-precise satellite targeting. I have to say I was reluctant to go on mission as I'm worried for Danielle. She seems a bit different since she returned. And one more concern: rumors say Kawashita brought to Andromeda one of their Master Mechanic. I really hope it's not the one I'm thinking of... I need to confirm its identity and maybe talk to Danielle before she learns it..."

18621442599_560fe94d25_s.jpg Hey now... Just because you have a completely amazing walker-ship, doesn't mean you can point the incredible laser cannons at us. (Also, scum? Where is our Public Relations sector? )

Well, at least this post will be easy to score :grin_wub: I don't even know where to start with the praise...

This is an amazing build. It is really too bad that scoring stops at 7. Some top notch builds all around but I really like the hardsuit. I also like how you used the Ice Planet 2002 skies. Seems very appropriate.

Could we have other pics of the drilling vehicle ?

Thanks :classic:

Btw the hard suit is not new! I built it for this entry, but since I was lacking some Octan minifigs and it was still standing there, I reused it.

Whoa, it is all so amazing. I like the consistent look and feel of all the various vehicles and the drilling machine really stands out. I need to include more technic gearing when I do drill bits...

The one thing that kind of stands out as not really fitting, for me, is the skull on the fighter. It seems a bit out of place, especially given the "Sprite" name. I adore the rest of the fighter, just that one little bit nags at me.

This is just such an incredible compilation of truly wonderfully conceived and executed pieces of art. Wow.

Once again, Bob, you have created a masterpiece. The focal A2NT on its own may have been a 7 in and of itself... but then you added more and more and more. :oh2:

The control room is pretty awesome. I live how the simple and clean build conveys the feeling that it's part of something larger than it actually is. Also it's beautiful. That tiling technique is always wonderful. :wub:

The sprite is sweet! Looks like quite the quick fighter! I like the "neck" portion with the white 1-1 round tiles. Nice repetition there. I agree with Kodan that the Baraka head may be a little out of place on a ship called "Sprite". Might have better been called the "Shark", or "Dragonfly".

The digger is sweet. Very well shaped. Love the orb shaped cockpit.

Even the satellite is great!

And the pictures and editing are exquisite!

Stupendous work!

Thanks :blush:

I agree with Kodan that the Baraka head may be a little out of place on a ship called "Sprite".

Maybe... I stumbled on that part by chance on Saturday morning. I already had taken the pictures of the Sprite, but modified it anyway... Maybe not the best choice, but I like it. I wanted to add a funny quote, saying the designer of the ship went too far by incorporating the skull of a weird animal.

Finally better pictures of the A².N.T.

This is awesome Bob! I really like all the vehicles, but the A2.N.T. is my favorarite. Those cannons, beautiful!

Wow! Simply awesome on all levels! :wub: I really like the way you incorporated the skull on the Sprite, it gives a fun but serious feel to the ship. So many details on all the vehicles, very well done!

This is amazing! I love how all the vehicles feel very unique and have such great detail! Also I just love the A2NT. A spacecraft shaped like an ant sound strange in concept, but you made it look so fantastic!
