Garmadon Posted July 5, 2015 Tags: Land Vehicle, Exploration, Science Jedadiah Douglass, signing in from E09, also known as Castral: (whistling, stops vehicle and gets out) Ah, so here I am on some planet in Andromeda hunting after a duck for some Octan scientist. Ha! Well, I’ll tell you one thing, that duck is very soon going to be toast. Here, ducky ducky duck! Quack! (that was the duck, not me, btw) Yesh! (darting behind rock) Those ducks sure do have a way of startling one! Good thing I was able to get under cover before it observed me. Well, well, let’s see how this tranquilizer gun works. What!? And they said I couldn’t miss with this thing! So much for guarantees… Here we go again... Again?! No way! Well, third time’s a charm. Or maybe not. Fourth? Fifth? He doesn’t even appear to notice. Well, well, ducky, perhaps this will teach you a little something! Arrr. I’ll bet he was behind that tree a second ago. No more cover for him! What? I do declare, I’ve got him! Well Jed, my old boy, you shan’t go home empty handed this time! Ha, ha! I wonder where the rest of that duck went to though… most likely blown to smithereens. Hmm. I’m not sure the old scientists are going to be very happy. Well, something is better than nothing! Or not. Tell me that’s not what I think it is. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Figless: Jedadiah's getaway vehicle My weekly build for the Octan corporation... I decided to continue the duck theme, sorry for the multitude of pictures, but I hope the story was enjoyable Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Turtle Posted July 5, 2015 Good work. I like the landscape, it makes good use of the space with a bit of variety that is sometimes lacking from these things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediumsnowman Posted July 5, 2015 This is great! One of my favorite builds in Andromedas this far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted July 5, 2015 I certainly chuckled! Clearly these predatory ducks need to be dealt with! Although Jebadiah clearly needs to go take a remedial course in Octan weapons training. I'm sure a certain Dr. Long will be less than pleased about the lack of sharpshooting skills. I quite like the compact little rover! Can a fig actually sit in it/on it?

I'm sure a certain Dr. Long will be less than pleased about the lack of sharpshooting skills. There's not much that does please Dr. Long it seems. Gorgeous build! Certainly my favorite of yours so far, and definitely ranking high on my list of all-round favorites! The landscaping is just wonderful! The trees, too are absolutely gorgeous in their simplicity. The way the dark grey rocks break the green is just lovely. And I love the twigs you've thrown in for good measure! wonderful job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 5, 2015 Hilarious build. Love the brick-built guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narbilu Posted July 5, 2015 The photography angles are stunning which really compliments the hilarious story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Great story! You need to head back to the octan shooting ranges. Edited July 5, 2015 by SpacerSteve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted July 5, 2015 Great story, but that landscape... Whoa! Love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dannylonglegs Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Great story! You need to head back to the octan shooting ranges. I mean, when you consider what Star Wars faction Octan comes closest to resembling, it's not a surprise our marksmanship is lacking... ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited July 5, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeralure Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Great photography and a funny story! Good posing to complete it. I immediately thought of Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck when I read the title, so I was glad to find a humorous story and the return of Napoleon Duck. I really like the color combination - dark and saturated green and grey go well with the white and blue. Nice work! Edited July 5, 2015 by aeralure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted July 6, 2015 Terrific landscape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark of Falworth Posted July 6, 2015 Great scene and story! Also a perfect example of the weapon skill of Octan associates... Haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted July 6, 2015 That's a dangerous duck, and not so dangerous Octan employee... though I guess he did manage to destroy the tree Great storyline and accompanying pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhawk STX Posted July 6, 2015 You know, I wouldn't worry too much about your shooting skills. These techs make big promises, but it's us poor shmucks in the field that find out how much those promises are worth... Love the story! Great build, too!

What?! I'm sure it was all the duck's fault that he missed! I don't think so but I haven't tried yet so I'll go and see There's not much that does please Dr. Long it seems. Gorgeous build!

I'm sure Jed wouldn't agree with you there... Thanks Umbra! I quite like the compact little rover! Can a fig actually sit in it/on it? I checked it out and one actually can - I'll be using it again in this week's build so you'll see him in it there Edited July 11, 2015 by Garmadon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
