evancelt Posted October 3, 2021 The two soldiers were out for a patrol from Fort Arltrees. As they entered a small stand of trees, they came across a cute baby bear. They tossed it some cheese and then came close to pet its head. Then the mama bear appeared. As they fled for their lives, the soldier in front remembered something his cousin had told him as a child: "You don't need to run faster than the bear to get away, you just need to run faster than the guy behind you". With this in mind, he tossed his musket aside and ran a little faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted October 3, 2021 Instructive story. "You just need to run faster than the guy behind you!" The build looks good and lifelike. Well represented how the soldiers run away. The adapter for the feet is practical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackdeathgr Posted October 3, 2021 I had some serious laughs with this story! Perfect posing, really nice trees and snot baseplate! And somehow this extended arm doesn't look out of place! 10 hours ago, NOD said: Instructive story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted October 4, 2021 haha! Great posing, great technique for the backpack, and I also love the pizza tiles on the tree trunk. The contrast in the expression of the two soldiers is hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted October 4, 2021 Very funny scene! The vegetation and irregular base are great, and the posing is excellent as well I'll second Kai about the quarter tiles too - great idea there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They allow for all sorts of scene staging and present a fun angle for mounting architectural elements. On 10/3/2021 at 11:14 AM, blackdeathgr said: I had some serious laughs with this story!

Yeah after @KotZ made that corporal punishment Corrington build I figured it was time to poke fun at the bluecoats! 4 hours ago, Kai NRG said: haha!

I got the idea for the backpacks from @quiriacus on Instagram. It uses the 2x2 TLG rubber belt to attach the suitcase and technic pin. I really like the different colors made available by interchangeable parts. I saw the pizza tiles / quarter round tiles used as fungus by @BardDandelion and figured I should give it a try! 49 minutes ago, Garmadon said: Very funny scene!

I saw @Kai NRG's recent kite build on Instagram and figured I'd try a brown base with green on top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
