A Research Facility somewhere in the Deland Republic 03:14:39 pm General Gruber had been assigned to the ICICLE Operation. And today was the day. After months of testing and research, the time had come. The first prototype for an ICBM armed with the ICICLE was about to be infused with the top secret material. Gruber was sweating. He greeted the guard at the door and entered the lab, flanked by his trusty guards. The serious man walked through a busy room, filled with the Deland Republic's best and brightest. They were in full swing, conducting experiments and develeoping new technologies. One of them approached him, asking for a photo. Gruber didn't understand the question, but agreed. When the young man pulled out his phone and tried to stand next to the General, he gave his guard a sign, not to interviene. They took a photo together and Gruber walked on, approaching the thick blast door at the other end. He used his fingerprint to unlock the thrice encrypted doorlock and went inside. The Laboratory was a mess. The lead scientist and his assistants were eating pizza. In a sterile environment. General Gruber tried to ignore that and approached the man on the other side. The scientist put away his slice of peperoni and greeted the official enthusiastically, shacking the general's hand with his own, grease stained one. Gruber wiped it off without the man noticing. Gruber: You aren't Keiler! Who are you? What's going on? Scientist: Well it seems like Doctorly Keiler as fallen a lil ill, you know? His head is all messed up, all woozy, you know? I, Dr. Avesilious, am gonna be watching over this cool Project! After finishing the word cool, the crazy looking man pauses for a moment and presses someting in his pocket. The sound of two drums and a cymbal can be heard. Gruber sighs and continues. Gruber: Well, can you at least show me the progress you've made? Avesilious: Of course! Let's get to the main course! Daryil, wouldcha please activate the machine? Daryil: At once! The assistant presses a button on the remote and the machine behind the glass starts whiring. The General and the crazed Doctor go to get a better look at the process. Avesilious: Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time. Let us start the process and... Gruber: Doctor! Can you stop with the foolery for a minute? Avesilious (grumbling): Fine Daryil presses a couple of buttons and initiates the test. A robot arm takes a glowing blue stick out of a hatch in the wall and moves it towards the open missile in front of it. Slowly but surely it places the ICICLE into its special component. Then, via a fully automated process, the hull is put together and sealed airtight. Now that the first prototype has been assembeled, fire testing can begin soon.

At exactly 12:15, Bolshaya Zemylanian Time, Brick Street Broker Augustus Gloop arrived in a classified location for a meeting with one of the heads of a local terrorist organisation. The two crooks start conversing. Gloop: Ahmed! Nice to see you again. I have a new shipment for you. As always, only the best stuff. Ahmed: Yes, yes, we will discuss. Why you bring men? You not trust me anymore? Gloop: Of course I trust you! It's just in case someone tries to interrupt. Now, could we go inside, or do you want to discuss the shipments out in the sun? Giggles Ahmed: Yes, let us go somewhere... how do you say, cozy? The two men and their Bodyguards enter the hideout, an abandoned Warehouse. After arrival, burly men bring in crates filled with guns and ammo. During the commotion, Ahmeds men suddenly vanish. The Vanguard squads commander points this out to Gloop, but he just shrugges it off and tells them not to worry about it. Still, the Vanguard Operatives stay wary. Heat Scans of the building suggest the presence of at least three other people, sitting in hiding. The Brokers guard are informed about their location silently via in ear headsets, and are each given a position, should things get hot. Gloop: Now, what is it you wanted to tell me about? Do you want more guns? I can get more, but that'll be tricky, so It'll be pricier. Ahmed: No! We don't want guns from you. Last ones faulty. The ammo blew up in the barrel and half of them fell apart. You are liar! And for that you will pay! Ahmed gives a signal to his men to attack. The Vanguard Squad reacts immediatly. One of the Terrorists is taken out immediatly after leaving his hiding spot. Ahmeds personal advisor tries to pull out a gun, but he too goes down in a spray of bullets. One of the Guards covers Gloop, while he runs to safety behind the crates. A bullet only barely misses the back of his head and hits the box. Meanwhile Carl jumps out from behind said crates and takes two more terrorist under fire. After a brief shootout, all of Ahmeds men have been eliminated. As per Gloops wish, Ahmed is handed over to the BoN anonymously and charged with numerous crimes. Gloop continues his travels under the watchful Guard of the Vanguard. (To @TheBeeze, sorry for uploading this too late. I had it done on time, but then my Internet stopped working, so I couldn't upload it. It kinda works now, but it's still not very stable. I hope you can still count this mission, even though it's past the due date, but If you decide against it than thats ok too.)

Wow! I knew you were planning something big with all the baseplates, but holy moly. Thats mindnumbing.

Ian Stewart - Ambassador of the Deland Republic Let us work together to achieve a brighter future! A future free of oppression, suffering, bloodshed and turmoil, but instead a future of prosperity, equality and hope. Let us not repeat the mistakes of our predecessors, but learn from them instead. It is the Deland Republics goal to create a future, that people will not dread, but look forward to. And it is our responsibility to lay the foundation so that future generations may live in peace.

Amazing, keep up the good work. I love how you implemented a lot of Star Wars Parts. They fit right in with the sceney. Also, what did you do In the background for the tent? Cause' I can see you removed it via computer.

Thanks everyone

Its ok, I didn't mean to say it was bad, I was just wondering.

Thanks :). While I can't hope to reach the level of detail in your builds, I'm still trying my best to have as many as possible.

Those are good points. As an idea for sniper fire in the future, how about you make a picture of the target, alive, with the whole-screen-scope, then another picture of the target, dead, with no scope effect, both from the same angle. Though thats just an idea, you don't have to do it. Still, the little details more then make up for the cramped interior. Like, that Coffee machine made my evening. Though... why would there be an active electrical connection for an abandoned factory? Or does this cartel just have half a Million Hamsters in the basement, producing Power for the drug production, computers and kitchen equipment?

Thanks ;)

In a currently unused hangar in the [REDACTED] military base, an Airforce engineer is showing some potential clients a collection of missiles. They are supposed to go out of service soon, to be replaced by a new series of missiles currently undergoing testing. Though they are still very expensive and capable bringers of destruction. "And these are the ATA-94 Air-to-Air missiles. They pack enough punch to bring down an F-16 and are 100% reliable! Thanks to the UAAS (Universal Armament Attachment System), they can be used by basically any tye of Airplane." "Now we come to the Big Boys. The ATW Air-to-Water Missiles. They too possess the UAAS and are able to sink anything short of an Aircraft carrier with ease. They are basically impossible to detect before its too late, due to using the newest technology available!" Removed the Roof for lighting purposes.

Nice. I like the conveyor belt and the technical stuff on the outside walls, though the building seems a little bit too small for what I think you were trying to do. Like on the last picture, one of his feet isn't even touching the ground. Maybe you should make your buildings a little bigger in the future, so you can really convey the scenes you want to. This one seems a little cramped. Though there are so many little details I love, I can't even mention them all. One more thing. I don't want to be the guy to be like "Akshually"... but thats not how scopes work. If you want to do a P.O.V shot of the sniper, maybe have the scope take up most of the image, and only have the target in the sights. To end on a good note, I laughed out loud when I saw that you had used a female suit for the Mafia guy. Still, a very nice build.

PENGUINS!!! I love it! Good work on the background. The little bits of Ice pertruding from the water is a nice touch.

Thanks. Your ideas are good and I had them too, the thing is just that I'm also working on a build that will have a hallway element, but also something similar to what you said. And I didn't want to essentially make the same build twice. Those are some good ideas though, I'll try to incorperate some of that in the aforementioned build.

The Vanguard Security Force, also known as the VSE, is the military security force in the Deland Republic. Their personnel is stationed in every military facility across the country, but can fulfill a multitude of roles, inluding, but not limited to, fighting riots, protecting VIPs and security of important buildings within the Deland Republic. VSE Personnel is recruited from the ranks of the Police, Firefighters, Private Security Companies and Bodyguard Companies. Sometimes, the VSE is even deployed outside of the country though this happens rarely and only for a high price. Two Officers are walking down a hallway at the VSE HQ in [REDACTED]. Junior Officer: ...and the unit will be ready to dispatch soon. Senior Officer: I don't like this. The guy is pretentious prick, that makes horrible situations even worse with what he's...Oh! Carl! Long-time-no-see! How are you? Guard Carl: Good Day, Sir! Doing good! I've actually been assigned to the upcoming Mission, so I'll pack my bags soon. Also among the VSE's equipment is the FF4, a mobile, bulletproof transport SUV. It can carry up to 12 Force Members in full Riot gear. The roof rails can easily be folded and taken off, giving the FF4 a wide array of uses.

Dammit! I wanted to use that hair for my ambassador. Guess I'll have to choose something else. For real though, good job. The road looks good and if I saw that streetlight irl, I'd steal it, thats how good it looks.

Very nice. The green tint for the night scenes is a nice touch. Though, I wonder, how exactly did the operatives get down unscathed? It doesn't look like they're using parachutes?

I was actually thinking about adding that on the rear, but it would have blocked the line of fire of the back gun, when a helicopter was standing there. And yeah, he is just falling, inexperienced crew and all that.

Those are nice details. You can do that, I'd like to see how it looks.

Today was a great day for the Deland Republic. The first ship of the newly established navy went on its maiden voyage. Though the Deland Republic doesn't have a direct access to the sea, it has a small coastal area. The Cruiser Class ship is going to patrol the outer reaches of that coastal region, a task in which it will soon be aided by more of its kind. The ship is heavily armed, including long range torpedoes and a multitude of missiles. A small crowd of people gathered to watch the vessel leave the harbor. Also watching the event is Admiral Hering, who is accompanied by a mysterious foreign ambassador.

That's more like it. There is something to look at this time. You're improving from just figs on a baseplate.

Looks great, as is standard. The amount of detail is incredible. The little lights on the outside, the workers and guards and especially the cargo train are really cool.

"They've already gone through basic training, but they still need some polish. Hope you are successful." General Akel tells Drill Sergant Schreier, as the approach the new recruits. "Oh, don't worry. Everything is on schedule. They will be ready in less than 2 months." Answered Schreier. "LISTEN UP, MAGGOTS! YOU MIGHT THINK BASIC TRAINING HAS THOUGHT YOU EVERYTHING! BUT YOU STILL HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN IF YOU WANT TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY! AND THIS IS GONNA BE THE START OF IT!" The Drill Sergant screamed, as he walked up and down the line of recruits. One of the first exercises was a rigorous parcour course, spanning over 600 square metres. No recruit made it through on their first try, but after a two weeks, they had mastered it perfectly. "YOU MIGHT THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO SHOOT, BUT YOU KNOW NOTHING! AND I'M HERE TO TEACH YOU!" This is what Schreier first told them, when he showed them the new shooting range. There were two targets for submachine gun training and three for pistol training. That way, a recruit is forced to rest after shooting. After training at the shooting range daily for 3 weeks, it was expanded upon with a special excersise. An MTK-B (Modular Training Kit- Building) was set up. The MTK-B was a genius invention by scientists of the Deland Republic. A series of walls and environment, endlessly configurable. It can be set up and dissasembled quickly and can be used for a wide array of excersises. Here, it was set up like a deserted industrial building. The recruits were split into three teams, with two teams doing training shootouts. In this particular excersise, the blue team was tasked with storming the building held by the red team and dispatch of them. The guns used were paintguns, that left a clear mark if they hit something. Sneaking up via the back exit, the third member of the blue team is scouting for threats, as his teammates go through the front. He sees a red member lurking behind a wall, and gets ready to take her out. After this rigorous training, the former recruits were now ready to serve their country to the fullest. The mission had been a success.

Excellent! The ground and the building itself look just great. Nice usage of different pieces. Overall, definetly worth at least 8 or nine points.
