  1. Transfer 50 to Dave, please
  2. Weasels!
  3. I won't pretend I'm not just a little jealous of this It looks superb!
  4. I looked at this earlier this morning and hadn't noticed the folding ability of the wings, that's a nice touch
  5. That's what I call MANTISified!
  6. I am just looking forward to April, when they are supposed to update the entire wall with their new inventory. I'll probably make it down there in two weeks or so.
  7. When the chicken boxes got sent out a couple years ago, someone mentioned that they were a common kind of postal box in Sweden (right? Can't remember.) around Easter, so CopMike could get them in bulk for free-or-dirt-cheap.
  8. Meanwhile,
  9. I stopped by mine late last week and they had...nothing good. They had run out of almost every PAM part, and replaced everything with basic 2x4s in unexciting colors.
  10. Oh yeah! Those were the last things I built, so I hadn't even been thinking about it, thanks! There are the two guardposts at the bottom level. Perhaps the entire build is not military, but enough was that I thought the tag applied. If it doesn't qualify, that's fine.
  11. Awesome effects That shot from straight above the reactor at the very beginning is perfect. I absolutely love it. And of course, I am wondering what direction the story will take now...
  12. I didn't get it at first. Then I reread the title and went, 'oh yeah! the rabbit build!' That said, I love the way you've composed the scene. Can't wait for more story.
  13. Location: F03 (Forring) Tags: Land Vehicle, Military Building When Supervising Accountant Laszlowe returned to M.A.N.T.I.S. HQ after making a deal with the Zoid slavers, he was met by a special task force who immediately clapped him in irons. Agent Blond had been sent out to apprehend the data from the Zoids and put a tracer on their ship to follow them. Not returning from the mission, Blond had nevertheless been able to transfer a copy of the data Laszlowe had sold, as well as photographic proof that the Zoid ship was carrying slaves. The data in question turned out to be a detailed description of all Octan movements and known civilian locations across most of northern Andromeda. In exchange for this information--which the slavers had used to prey on helpless merchants and other civilians in those sectors, as corroborated in Octan documents--the Zoids had been paying Laszlowe handsomely. Unbeknownst to Laszlowe, his rendezvous with the Zoids had all been recorded by a D.O.R.I.S. (Drone of Really Irritating Surveillance), video evidence which will be shown in court today along with Agent Blond's revelation, on the illuminated panels seen below next to the guard station. With the overwhelming amount of evidence against Laszlowe--in addition to months of records uncovered this week by M.A.N.T.I.S. auditors--formal charges were brought against Laszlowe for his crimes against humanity, including 18 counts of human trafficking. It will be the Court Recorder's duty to keep minutes of the proceedings. He has not arrived yet, but his booth is shown below, next to the guard station. The trial has been scheduled for this evening the 20th of Marzn, 3816, at the M.A.N.T.I.S. High Court on Forring. Delegates from both Octan and Kawashita were invited to be present to witness justice carried out. After all, even if the three corporations squabble or even occasionally fight an all-out war over control of the resources the galaxy holds, no one wants there to be civilian casualties. Also, M.A.N.T.I.S. wants it known that it will not tolerate such atrocities committed under its roof, and will punish to the fullest extent those who perpetrate such crimes. The judge today will be a member of the Council of Five, and the case would be decided by a nine-member jury. All of the jurors and the judge have yet to arrive. Jurors' booth And here are the Octan and Kawashita representatives arriving on their speeders. The attendants will escort them up to the observation deck, where the respective corporations' colors are hung. The representatives arrive Octan representatives in their booth Kawashita representatives in their booth Here is the accused being led into the chamber as we speak. The military police maintains a presence on the ground level of the courtroom, should there be any need to enforce order during the course of the trial. In addition to the human trafficking charges brought against Laszlowe, internal audits revealed he had also embezzled funds from multiple employees of M.A.N.T.I.S., including Scorpio Starstriker, Scientist First Class. M.A.N.T.I.S. agents were trying to decide if there was any connection between these crimes and Starstriker's mysterious disappearance nearly two months earlier. However, at the present time these events appear to be unrelated. **************** This week's build is based on set 10223, the Kingdoms Joust, a set I wasn't quick enough to get when I came out of my Dark Ages, but I thought would be interesting to adapt into a courtroom. All of the smaller pieces of the MOC correspond to a part of the actual set, except that I couldn't think of any kind of parallel for the jousting list so I omitted it. Waiting for the judge and jury More pictures below, C&C welcome!

  14. Hilarious and instantly recognizable! I think it looks pretty good (especially for what it is) and I'm a little jealous of all those lime tiles...
