Spud The Viking Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Map Name: Studica Grid: E8 New Brickika was tasked with storming the science and research post 'Golf'. Little did they know that Research Plant Golf was testing an electromagnetic rail gun. Why is it situated in a volcanic area? Well, geothermal energy powers this beast, the electricity enters through that large cable. Loading clunky metal objects which is cladding to a missile that will be fired at over 5600 mph. The scientists prepare to fire the rail gun. Before firing, New Brickikan troops stormed the base, careful not to get too near the edge of the small walkway. With all resistance dealt with, the two elite forces decided it best to destroy the research facility as it was not the nuclear objective they were tasked in hunting. New Brickika will now report the situation, that they have not found any trace of WMDs but have destroyed an electromagnetic cannon at Research Plant Golf. Spoiler I may have taken a bit of creative liberty in making a lava river through a research facility, hope the judges don't mind Here are some extra photos; Edited May 8, 2018 by Spud The Viking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paintballman Posted May 21, 2018 As the other friends above said, it reminds Star Wars. I like all the little details in this build: the open hatch where the operator place the explosives, the projectile and the lava and the idea that geothermal energy powers the gun!

TheBeeze Posted May 29, 2018 You’ve been awarded (7) points. Judges’ comments… The appeal of this build is in its originality. The concept of the facility breaks the mold from what is normally seen. Your detailing in the floor definitely took you some time to complete. The lava river was a little over the top, but you pulled it off. Biggest suggestion would be to approach some of your phots at level with the build. Top down shots are nice, but when you're level with build it allows you to see the details at a better perspective. You're builds keep getting better, keep it up! Interesting choice, although the mission was to secure the weapons, you changed that, and it did affect your score in my opinion. Great overhead shots, but would have liked to see some at the minifig's perspective. This gives an impression of realism, which I know may sound silly, but it can really give a different view of your build! The lava detailing was good, but then as I move up throughout the rest of your build, the build felt bland. Simple floors and simple walls aren't bad, but when you stay with a 32x32 build, this leaves a lot of room for details. I feel you could have added some more. Be Sure to Update Your AARs.
