"Just packing up and I'll be onboard to start the engine shortly." "Roger, any idea when Moose will get here?" "Nope, I'm still amazed they put him in charge of this mission." Some time later.... "Sir, you were due here at 0800!" "Yes Marine, but my shuttle had to take a detour to avoid Octan recon drones operating nearby. Better late than detected!" "Sir, everyone is crewed in and ready to go. Mind your head!" ....whirrrclunkclunklclunk..... "They really should put some warning stickers on that!" "And the ramp is really rather close to the wheels don't you think!" "Just don't get out when it's moving Sir!" "I'll keep that in mind!" "Welcome aboard." "Thanks Doc! Erm, is that your station? Don't you think you ought to have some kind of railing?" "No space Sir, plus when were under way we hardly going to have the boarding ramp open are we?" "Okay guys, ready to go?" "Just stowing the last of the cargo Sir!" "I've been tuning the sensors, if the OSS Profit is out here, we should find her." "Good, the Horizon's orbital scans pinned here down to this sector but couldn't get a precise location." "Kat, we good to move out?" "It's Cheif tech Thorne, we're on duty remember? And yes I'm just firing up the engine now." "Ahead full, Ensign!" "Yes, Sir!" "Sir, contact on scope. Looks like an Octan recon drone. Strange, the telemetry intercept says they are looking for the Profit, not us!" "What, how can they have lost one of their own ships?" "It may not be looking for us, but it's spotted us. Jamming the signal!" "Marine, get topside now, don't let it get away." "Yes Sir!" ....pewpewpewpew.... "Target down! I do love blowing stuff up!" "Ok, stay up there in case any more drones show up. Team lets go find us a ship!" "Ahh! What is that giant black and white beast? Chase it!" OOC and more pics below: Had real fun building and driving this weeks creation. It started off as a super-sized (10x scale) JanDroid but ended up as a science rover. Very happy with how the radar dish turned out: And a bit too much reflection but I still liked this shot: The sides are removable for photo/play access: A PF L motor provides propulsion and drives the pistons via chain hidden in the read of the chassis. A Servo motor provides steering control. Edited February 28, 2016 by woofmcmoose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
