LittleJohn Posted June 19, 2015 Location: A06-Guinevere Tags: Exploration Job: Explorer My next mission for M.A.N.T.I.S. was to scout out Guinevere. I was told I would love it there, that it would be like a vacation... Suffice it to say, it's not my definition of a good spot to vacation, unless you like boiling lava and rock. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed, besides, the smell of sulfur did nothing to help my feelings of nausea. I grabbed a few samples of rock, (I'm sure the scientists back at HQ would have liked some of the black stuff, but I was going anywhere near that lava) and set off to try and find a part of Guinevere that wasn't 1000 degrees...

rodiziorobs Posted June 19, 2015 Your rockwork is really good, but the star of the show is clearly the lava--wow that is so good! The effect of flowing lava is perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted June 19, 2015 Can say I've never seen lava done with fire pieces like this. The effect is jaw-dropping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dardanel Posted June 19, 2015 Amazing :D How did you manage attach the (fire) waterfall to the (lava) river? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted June 19, 2015 Those lava falls are beautiful! The transition from black to grey is flawless as well, great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Turtle Posted June 19, 2015 Great use of the fire piece's connection possibilities, it works very nicely for the flow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted June 19, 2015 The combination of wedge plates and SNOT slopes looks fabulous in the rockwork Lovely lava, as everyone has said, too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zepher Posted June 19, 2015 Superb as always. Great sense of movement, and I love the "burned" rocks. Think it might have been nice to put another patch of black rock elsewhere in the build to draw the eye across a bit, feel very segmented (striped) right now - a dried lava flow, sort of. But, awesome build over all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing :D How did you manage attach the (fire) waterfall to the (lava) river? Thanks! For the top one I stuck the ends of the flames into 1x1 brick rounds or cones, but for the bottom ones they're just piled on. It was very tricky trying to get them to stay there. Those lava falls are beautiful! The transition from black to grey is flawless as well, great work! Thanks, Kai! I was pretty pleased with how they turned out too Great use of the fire piece's connection possibilities, it works very nicely for the flow. Thanks! Excellent build LJ, fantastic job with the lava flow! Great job on the rock-work as well, but I can't blame you for not wanting to go on vacation there! Thanks, Garm!

NuckElBerg Posted June 20, 2015 Seems I forgot to comment when I looked at it yesterday! Great job, beautiful lavafalls and SNOT work, just look out for the fire wasps (or don't, since you're M.A.N.T.I.S. )! I have a feeling they like to rest in lava streams such as those...
