koalayummies Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) The climatologist and her longtime nature photographer and conservationist friend head out into the remote and unforgiving desert to check on one of the climate monitoring stations. Although the monitors transmit their data via satellite they still require periodic maintenance, diagnostics, calibration, cleaning and the occasional repair. Given the nature of their work they're well aware of their carbon footprint but still require vehicular transportation to these remote sites so with the help of their friends in the industry they employ this truck powered by sustainable algae biodiesel.

Kristel Posted February 7, 2019 This is awesome! I was going to point out my favourite details, but i’d just be listing everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted February 7, 2019 This is great! I love that SUV, some nice little details all over. I like how the ground spills over the border you made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted February 7, 2019 The met tower is great looks like everything is there. The gem is the Rover! I may have to "blatantly copy" er... Um.... Borrow... Yea borrow the design. The base is great as well I love the tire tracks. Well done on the sand spilling over the box. My only issue is by itself with figs the rover looks too tall but once in the scene it's perfect so maybe that's just an illusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlict Posted February 7, 2019 Oh man, now I know my favorite windshield is available in my favorite color! I do agree that the body of the truck is maybe a plate too high but this whole scene is rad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted February 7, 2019 Very nice build - a well-balanced composition all around. The vehicle is really nice and the station is cool. The sand pouring out of the ends is neat, too. My only suggestion is to use half-stud offsets on the vehicle tracks, although it might require building up the base a little more. Otherwise, great work.

PaddyBricksplitter Posted February 12, 2019 This is great, the details such as the tracks and the desert trees really sell the overall image. Love the muted colours too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
