LittleJohn Posted July 5, 2015 Location: A04-Mynderis Tags: Building, Vehicle Job: Explorer My next assignment for M.A.N.T.I.S. was a hot one. They wanted me to get some lava samples from Mynderis for them to analyze. I wasn't too enthused by the idea, until I was told I would get to use the MES (Mini Exo-Suit), which was too good an offer to refuse. I took the samples next to a recently constructed Awesomnium mining base, which was in full swing. More pictures here: Link C&C welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodan Black Posted July 5, 2015 Great little base, but the landscape and lava are what really steal the show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Turtle Posted July 5, 2015 Lovely work. You've done a good job making the ground look interesting even in a single colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jody Meyer Posted July 5, 2015 Great little base, but the landscape and lava are what really steal the show! Yes this is a great little build, nice landscape and base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 5, 2015 Awesome base. I really like the insectoid feel with the struts and "legs". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Gidman Posted July 6, 2015 Absolutely stunning! So much texture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark of Falworth Posted July 6, 2015 Man, this is phenomenal! Really convincing landscape and buildings! Keep it up John! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted July 6, 2015 My favorite AG build from you so far. So many details to admire! In particular: the mech suit, little dump trucks, angled piping, clever windows, weapons and radar on the roof, and interior The lava landscape is quite effective too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhawk STX Posted July 6, 2015 Wow! I really like the suit (but then, I'm a mecha maniac anyway ). The use of the tires is interesting. I like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted July 6, 2015 Really cool base LJ, especially good use of those wheel pieces. I really need to jump on that bandwagon - got tons of wheels lying around! Great ground texturing too, and the lava craters add a lot to the build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeralure Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) The work suit is pretty awesome! That base with the lava and the building work so well together to create a believably hostile environment while looking great doing it! A lot of fun details in there too. I spent hours playing with the original Space base and there's so much more here. Edited July 6, 2015 by aeralure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted July 7, 2015 Awesome base! The "legs" as the drilling apparatus are a cool concept. I really like the little exo-suit. It's a great detail in a big MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balbo Posted July 7, 2015 Amazing work, LittleJohn I love the base and how you made the ground! Nice use of the tires, too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckElBerg Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Nice mining base Little John, I almost missed this one! Great use of wheels to create the tubing! Also, I really like the look of the ground! Edited July 7, 2015 by NuckElBerg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted July 8, 2015 Awesome mining base for M.A.N.T.I.S ! The terrain and lava are very well done, and the base itself looks so good on that terrain. I love all the detail, including the interior. The mech and truck really compliment your build well! And I love the use of all those wheels and tires!

Garmadon Posted July 9, 2015 Very nice build LJ, the rig is excellent - great use of all those wheels! - and the texturing on the rocky landscape is great! Awesome work with all the smaller vehicles running around as well, but what M.A.N.T.I.S. really needs is some robots to do all their work for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David FNJ Posted July 10, 2015 I'm a big fan of those pipes! The ground texuring is very well done and doesn't look plain despite it being flat. Fantastic work John! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
