This building is my Adventurers' headquarters building, and is used by Johnny Thunder and his friends to store and research recovered artifacts from all over the globe. (and beyond!) The model's framework / basis is half of set 76108 - Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown from 2018, and much like that fictional building, is filled with secrets and dangerous artifacts. The building is built to modular standard on a 16x32 baseplate, and is also infinitely stackable - the two middle floors can be repeated to be as tall as you want without changing anything, just like Cafe Corner from 2007 was able to. Sadly, the lamppost is not placeable in the proper place because of practically no clutch on the baseplate in the correct spot. (the baseplate is pretty old and worn) The rear of the building isn't very pretty. It has a basement entrance (purely for looks - it goes no where) and a back door to the first floor. This floor is the lobby / reception - it's where Johnny and co. get info on lost treasures and also the whereabouts of Lord Sinister and his cronies. This floor features a large cabinet, radio, desk, telephone, bankers lamp, and two chairs. A clock hangs on the wall by the door near a hat stand. This level is the break room / reading room for the upstairs library. We have a couch, standing lamp and table on this floor. Trophies, treasures, and weapons adorn this level. These include: the Storm Amulet from Ninjago, the Golden Shield from Orient Expedition, a Trident from the lost city of Atlantis, Thor's hammer (Dr. Kilroy is worthy), the fabled Re-Gou ruby, a T-Rex tooth found on Dino Island, among a few other, more puzzling items. This floor features items that can alter your mind and corrupt your soul, such as The Ice King's Crown, the One Ring, and a strange crystal skull. (Do NOT look it in the eyes!) Also on this floor is the library on everything archeology, the occult, myths / legends and somethings better left unsaid. This car is named the Scorpion Tracker, named after set 5918 - Scorpion Tracker - but styled after set 2995 - Adventurers car and skeleton. It was also heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. The model features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle and seats three figs - one in the back row and two up front, as shown. I'll leave you with this parting shot of Johnny Thunder, Dr. Kilroy, and Pippin Reed off on another expedition into the unknown... where are they going now - who knows? But wherever they will go, ADVENTURE awaits! Thoughts? -
Here are my two revamped Adventurers vehicles: the tan Scorpion Tracker owned by Johnny Thunder, and the red Island Racer purchased by Lord Sam Sinister. SCORPION TRACKER This car was heavily modified from a model by BricksAA and these free MOC instructions over on Rebrickable. The car is named the Scorpion Tracker, named after set 5918 (Scorpion Tracker) but styled after set 2995. (Adventurers car and skeleton) The car also features a spare tire hanging at the back of the vehicle. This vehicle can seat three figures total, which usually means Johnny at the wheel, Dr. Kilroy riding shotgun beside him and Pippin Reed seated in the back. ISLAND RACER I took another look at 2020 set 40409 (Hot Rod) and, after tinkering with it a bit, was reminded of the 2000 set 5920 (Island Racer) from Adventurers. I thought about how the styles could merge into one car, and this is the result. The grille, headlights, and bonnet have all been changed, and the color swapped from blue to red. I also used the longer red wheel arches to go around the short red arches extreme scarcity. (I actually like this change better, honestly.) Thoughts? EDITED 4/24/24: I changed around the Scorpion Tracker to have it's top down. The newly revised Johnny Thunder, Pippin Reed and Dr. Kilroy are also shown.
