Is the equipment I ordered ready?" "Yes, yes it is! I've been working on it for a while. I think you'll quite like it. Show him."

Log of Jebediah O'Reilly, Entry #12ish or so: I have been dispatched to Forring to scout for further MANTIS activity after my narrow escape a few weeks ago... Big Z designed me a special bike for the mission! Well, technically it's a trike, but oh well. [O-F03] Training Wheels [O-F03] Training Wheels Hmmm... I'm not seeing anything, just A beautiful planet, covered in lush forest and grassy plains. Where the heck did that description come from? Seems to suit the planet though... Anyways, I'm getting off track. Back to the mission! Wait! I think I see something! [O-F03] Training Wheels MANTIS scum! Placing a comms beacon right in the middle of a perfectly good field... tsk tsk tsk. [O-F03] Training Wheels I'll deal with this myself... Good thing I always carry explosives around with me in my massively oversized pockets. [O-F03] Training Wheels Let's get out of here!

This is the first time I've tried anything with FP, so I'm interested to hear how you guys think it turned out. Thanks for looking! Comments and criticism welcome! Quote
shmails Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 That trike is pretty neat, love the oversized wheels! Good job on the FP, my only comment would be if you can do a snot hallway it helps the illusion, the studs hurt the perspective. Love the mini trike too! Quote
mrcp6d Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Nice trike! I think something a little more than the decorated tile for the controls would have been nice though. Quote
Garmadon Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Excellent build mediumsnowman, great job on that trike, I really like the greebling there! Neat micro version and explosion as well! As far as the FP goes, it is pretty nice as it is, but it would be greatly improved by a stud-less floor (as shmails mentioned), the focus on the minifig and not on the bike, and by covering up the places you can see light through the walls, if possible. Nice first try though, and great build overall! Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Very nice vehicle! Nice work with the explosion too! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Wow! That is a seriously impressive Trike! Love the FP! Agreed that it would have worked better studless, and if the walls were flat and at an angle. great hallway though! Love the sliding doors and Zaael's inclusion! Great job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
pombe Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Awesome vehicle!!! It looks rugged and fast! Also, I love the forced perspective shot! It completes the already great scene! Finally, great story telling! Quote
