Spud The Viking Posted January 11, 2020 Medium Commercial in Spudkirk Pillage and carnage, Spudkirk was dealt a heavy blow last September. Reports have been completed, showing a devastating loss to correspondence letters, scientific notes, much needed building equipment, and food supplies. While this may have been a major setback, what was worse was the indiscriminate slaughter of townspeople, many women and children killed, and these losses cannot be so easily recovered. With heavy hearts, the brave and hardy Corries look back upon this event and strive to learn from their mistakes. Already, multiple defence stations have been erected, and the town will not let this be the final chapter in the story of Spudkirk. God save the Queen. (This build is also the post office and warehouse at the bottom of the rocky path up the settlement) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted January 12, 2020 What caught immediately my attention is the brick built baseplate, way better than the moulded one. The tan house looks good, and the white bunker is nicely built too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted January 12, 2020 Another great build for the settlement Spud! As Bodi said, the baseplate is awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted January 12, 2020 I concur regarding the base. That is beautifully done with both color and texture. The tan house and lamppost look really good, and the minifig posing implies movement really well. This is a good way to illustrate the disastrous events.

Ross Fisher Posted January 12, 2020 I really like the use of colour here. The absence of many greens make it seem really deathly, and the dark grey adds to the oppressive feel. Very appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Merchant Posted January 12, 2020 Wow, that's some amazing landscaping and rockwork! Wonderful scene too! Good to hear Spudkirk is getting it's defenses heightened. Hopefully the raids will end after that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted January 12, 2020 Yep, have to agree with the comments above, that rockwork is awesome! The buildings are great too and the minifigs well posed. Great street lamp design aswell. Are the guys with bandannas the Lotii? Hopefully I'll have my Spudkirk build done soon to add to strengthening the colony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KotZ Posted January 12, 2020 As others have saidd, that rockwork is fantastic. I think my favorite part is the white building; there's just enough texture there and it looks war-torn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted January 13, 2020 fantastic rockwork and elevated ground and the white building is indeed very nice! Someone also got those elusive shields...hehehe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah, I looked for Lotii soldiers but couldn't find any references. On 1/12/2020 at 7:38 PM, KotZ said: As others have saidd, that rockwork is fantastic.
