Big Sal Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Location: C03 Torresta I still don't see why we have to stop at this research centre of yours. I'm not interested in volcanoes. For the last time, Mom, I just need to pick something up from my flat upstairs. Then we'll get back on a train to The Core. Hmmmph. Alright, well, let's get on with it. No, you stay down here. I'll get someone to bring you a coffee and then I'll be right back down. Larry, get my mother a drink, would you? And do not let her come upstairs under any circumstances, ok? Yes sir! If I don't kill her by the end of her visit it'll be a miracle... Now, where did I leave that thing...? Here you go, ma'am. Our house speciality! Young man, there appears to be a large maggot in that drink. Yes ma'am! A fresh cup of larva java, on the house! ... ... ... ... ... It's very small in here. What the...? Damn it Larry! Your brother's flat is much larger than this. I already told you, this is just a crash pad for when I'm at the Volcanic Research Centre. I'm the First Branch Executive of M.A.N.T.I.S! I have an executive apartment in The Core, quarters on all our capital ships, and a whole mansion on Linopeia III! Yes, I was talking about your brother's crash pad on Earth. It's much bigger than this. What?? He can't possibly afford property on Earth! Oh yes he can. He's very successful. But he's never too busy to remember my birthday, unlike some people. Oh boy... His wife is lovely too. Isn't it about time you were getting married? Ugh, could this day get any worse?? Oh good, the coffee guy said you'd be up here. Damn it Larry! What do you want, Long? I just came here to tell you that you've been demoted to Second Branch Executive. Who's this? WHAT?! I'm his mother, unfortunately. Well, well, well... Your brother's never been demoted. It's just promotion after promotion for him, and... Sal, what the hell have you been eating? This looks disgusting. Oh, he's always eaten badly. I remember when I first took him to... Please let this be some kind of horrible dream... --- Thanks for reading! C&C welcome! The photos didn't come out quite as well as I wanted, but I've been at the Yorkshire Brick Show all day, and all day tomorrow, so they'll have to do. More below.

Mr Greeble Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Whoa! Really nice job here! For being a crash pad above a monorail station, it seems surprisingly clean. Quote
EpsilonEta Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Cool build and I have missed your great stories! Seems we both brought family to Andromeda. That apartment have a very narrow hallway I really like the terrain and the details such as inserted shelves and the “rotating gates” (don't really know their name but totally recognized what it was supposed to be) The first picture really feel like a subway station.

StarHawk3 Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 I really like the station. I had no idea that those pieces you used for window frames could do that. I thought all they were good for was the old dome canopy pieces. Quote
Kodan Black Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Wow, what a build. So much to it and such great terrain at the bottom. You built a stunning MOC and great story too. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Awesome build! Super funny story! It is too bad Big Sal is such a disappointment. I feel bad for his mom.... I was half expecting Sal's mom to say Sal should settle down with Long. I like how you included Ninja Nin and Massi Editoro in the background. Edited May 2, 2016 by SpacerSteve Quote
Orange Leader Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Poor, poor Sal... I love the whole build and great use of those octagonal windscreen holders as square windows. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Great work with the cut-away interiors, and Sal's room looks quite homey Excellent exterior architecture as well Quote
LittleJohn Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Great work here, Sal! I really like that bench design with the 2x4 tiles and clips, and the decoration around the windows is excellent as well Quote
Master_Data Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Great build! I like how much detail you put into it! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 As always, Sal, your entries are must-see, even if not for the quality build then for the hilarious stories! Quote
