Work In Progress

Post by RoC77 » Wed Feb 25, 2009 3:10 pm

I don't know if there's already a thread for this, I took a quick look I might have missed it so my apologies if this is a repeated thread.

I've been in a slump and I lost some steam in building, but here is a couple of pics of what I'm in the middle of.

This is going to be or was going to be a command/artillery/troop vehicle. I don't know if I want it to be one or the other or a combination or even a super tank. I might not even complete it and build enemy armor instead......

I was at the Lego store, and I saw all these green blocks & plates at the pick a brick station, then I thought of the building a hill string and decided to try to build one. I ran out of green, so I settled for a cut-up hill. I put up a canopy just to see how it looks, I bought more green, so I'm either going to turn it into a bunker, or and open fighting position, or a hidden command center......

Feel free to comment or post WIP's you have or WIP's that never was......

Use light grey on the hill to make it into a rocky outcrop with grass//moss on the top, but steep rocks on one side.

Yes, green-only hills can become boring after a while.

the huge tank thing should be a small bunker, it has guns, heavy armor, and looks awesome

I got a small town styled after the city in Black Hawk Down, I'll try to get pics once I'm finished but does anyone have any suggestions about how to make pillars, I kinda need some inspiration. (and don't just tell me to stack briks, I want it to look different)

That tank thing looks badass

Sponsons in the middle of the tracks... I have never seen anyone stick guns in THERE before! All that sucker needs is a railgun or a siege mortar in the turret and it'll be ready to rumble.
Were it that simple...

Ohhh.... thx for the rock idea, I have ton's of those pieces.... I think I got an idea on what to make.....


Oh, and thanks for the comments on the vehicle, I'm still stuck on what to do, I think I'm going to add a second level.
