[LDD] 1930's/40's Jungle River Outpost

[Brickstarrunner]

Hello, fellow skippers of the jungle. This is Skipper Albert Awol, the Voice of the Jungle, broadcasting on the DBC to all points unknown. If you’re within the sound of my voice, you are listening to AWOL Airwaves on the DBC.

Attention skippers. Attention skippers.

To anyone traveling up and down the main river to and from the Mother Outpost, a new River Outpost has been erected on the edge of the Barazwani River and is now open for trade. Not only will they trade basic provisions such as food, water, shelter, and the latest Entertainment Magazines, but they will also trade gas and gunpowder, as well as some unique native imports from the nearby archaeological dig. Start trading with the new River Outpost today!

I had the sudden recent urge to do another build in LDD. My sudden urge was fueled by a recent visit to Disneyland and riding the Jungle Cruise quite a few times made me want to try and recreate the Boat House Queue. Although it turned out a little smaller than expected, it still turned out to be pretty good in my opinion,

The backside of the River Outpost has the most detail, since it includes the dock as a slight cut-in into the building.

Below is the main man's office. Officer, general, foreman, whatever you want to call him. It's the main office where most of the behind-the-scenes stuff is taken place.

That red thing is a gas can just in case you're wondering. You'll see that be repeated in both red and grey.

Below is the storehouse for any and all cargo being shipped in and out of the outpost.

The open air trophy room.

Native and family heir loomed shields on display.

The attic above the trophy room is the Armory storing all the arms in case some of the local natives grow a bit crazy and require a little persuasion to be calmed down.

Let's have a closer look at the dock, shall we?

A fisherman leaves his line behind for a small lunch break.

A local trader has stopped on by to drop off the goods he has packed into his motor-powered boat.

Local archaeologists are transporting their findings to the outpost for storage

A look at some other details.

Sadly there is no download today, because the file is too big

How can I show you the smaller details that I cannot get to now?

Ah well, enjoy what I have then.

EDIT:

I forgot to add in the reference pictures I used while constructing. They are Flickr photos, so sadly, I could not copy the image's URL, but I highly do suggest you check out all the links. The Disney parks are well known for adding such great and luscious detail to their queues which I took A LOT of inspiration from.

Very nice building 'Brickstarrunner' , my favourite are the oil cans... very clever. Unfortunetly the red colts are so expensive.

I recently just forgot to add in reference photos and pictures; Something I always do when I base a MOC off of something else. I suggest that, if you're really interested, to take a look at the photos and video. They're really nice photos, and the second video is really great to watch

Very clever MOC. I love some of the integration of the CMF series 6 pieces (Robot head as a motor, the genie lamp in the main office), excellent all around. Your attention to detail clearly shows.
