Project: Reeve pics

Post by **Elmagnifico** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 5:16 pm

Seeing as how the Bricks forum has currently gone to the dogs, quite literally, I have decided to intervene with some pictures of the stuff I've made for Project Reeve, starting with Copenhagen.

A Peripatetiopolis-eye view of the Traction City of Copenhagen.

An airship's view

The back, less armored but still defended with a light cannon.

Tier 3. The lower tiers are behind the armor. The upright plate in the middle is a bridge set up for boarding walls with.

Tier 3 with the bridge down.

An Anti-Stalker trooper and a Mayorial Guard.

A view of some of the city's heavier artillery, a rocket rack and a howitzer turret. Next to the rocket rack is another Anti-Stalker trooper.

The other side of the tower. Here, you can see an AA battery and a two-gun antipersonnel turret.

This guy's the Captain of the Guard. Behind him are two more guards, armed with their signature axe-rifles

That's tier two-and-a-half, where the navigation deck has been moved.

A view inside, the guy on the left is a captured Red Eagle who has seen the other side of White Pass, which is where he is being forced to guide them. The guy on the right is a Navigator guard, keeping the pirate in line by threatening the one thing he values more than his life: His manhood.

A closer view of the rear gun.

The last sight Peripatetiopolisians had as a free city: The jaws of Copenhagen.

every pic other than the last one was the same -.-
i see you like the mortal engines quartet.
EDIT:its not much of a traction "city" its a bit small really since the traction citys where they took the city and built a giant frame and then build houses/put houses on it for people to live in, for the citys to survive they needed to "eat" each other, this one doesn't seem up to even "eating" a scavenger town, its gut must be very small, you have got to remember that the gut will contain parts of enougher city after its eaten so it has to be big and the tiers have to be bigger to house the houses, basically traction citys should be as big as your lego town but multi layerd.

Yeah, but build one better than this, and then I'll respect that. I'd loved to have made this thing bigger, but I have another suburb to build as well as Batmunkh Gompa and an airship fleet. This is as big as I could afford to make it without destroying all my brother's creations too.

Plus, there are 'vegetarian' cities that only eat Static settlements, who fought the Green Storm as part of the Tracktiongellenschaft(?). That's what Copenhagen is supposed to be.

EPIC. I can't wait to fight in this battle.

with the size of the citys and the amount of space they use (they chase for days in the books) you might what to turn it into lots of micro scale ones, not too small but not too big, between nenescale and microscale, where 1 stud is about 1/4 mile, thats about micro scale but not quite since the micro scale ships are many miles long and are about 6 studs long, don't forget that they drive cars inside the citys as well!, traction citys are pain in the arse to make to the book, i might make a scavenger town/platform.

Fantastic! I love the fact you took something you've seen pictures of and read about and have made your own version. Ok, so it's small but I'm thinking that much bigger and it would start becoming very fragile and hard to transport without severe damage... this puppy looks like it was made to be played with. Fantastic! Looking forward to reading the BatRep... what do the Stalkers look like?.. are they Scout units?

So do I have to free the captured Red Eagle?

Not necessarily, you and lrdofbricks have some flexibility, you can each ally with the League or Copenhagen. I would ask, though, in the interests of keeping this a relatively fair game, that you choose different sides.

EDIT:

The stalkers are going to look something like this.

Infantry Stalkers-Similar to Dr. Popjoy's, only minus the weak necks. All four are armed with laser rifles.

A Stalker Tech-Just like the Medik, except with the proper facilities (onboard Clydeside), it can make new stalkers out of suitable material.

Stalker Hess and her two bodyguards, one armed with a heavy bolter, and the other with a Shardgun

Stalker Hess and one of her Stalker Bats.

Awesome minifigs. Next question: when do I get to see the Eagles?

AHAHAHA! Yes! I RETURN!

Hmm.. this should be interesting to drive, chasing down stray minifigs...

yup, and you'll get a nice suburb too, just need to find time to upload the pics...

Anyway, to whet your apetites some more, here's a few pics of some hardsuits I made, General Toryu's Iron Samurai armor, and a Stalker Brute.

Stalker Brute flexing his steel muscles.

Stalker Brute's railgun

Holding it in an imposing pose.

General Toryu and his Iron Samurai suit.

This is what I picture General Naga looked like, except he had green hair in a warrior's knot and more of a beard.

Showoff.
