AlphA HQ

FemTroopers have located the AlphA HQ and began their assault. The old temple is heavily fortified my machine guns. Will they get through? For a contest at CABG. Featuring BA, LA and CAC. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=403047

Here's another shot I love:

Wow, this creation is very good!

Very nice. Building is pretty dang sweet. Alpha's position is bad-@$$.

A great job on the building design DP! Is it just me, or do I see a snowtrooper?

This thing looks great. But one thing: Where does the rubble in front of the entrance come from? I don't see any damages to the building itself.

The MG position on the right, the walls are crumbled there.

@ Troopa daisy, Yea it is. It looked nice as some sort of statue.

Excellent, I need to get mine up, probably this weekend.

But yeah, it makes a great statue and the structure is great!

The ground floor is too plan, the rest is fairly good.

Win.

While the ground may not be detailed, I love the banners, and the positions of each trooper, but don't you think the grenadier could use a tad bit more cover?

Very awesome MOC, has a great nitty gritty feel to it. Your femtroopers outnumber the Alpha soldiers by alot - faction love?

No one likes AlphA that much do they? First they had a whole bley army attacking them and now a sexy army of Femtroopers!

Well, basically I made the amount I could. The femtroopers were limited by flesh female faces, I now have another leia but like 3 with the same face isn't working. Then came AlphA. First I could only make 1 normal trooper because of the torsos, then I got 3 more and I could make 1 more because I only had 2 helmets.

Anyway thanks for the comments! Zeph, I agree, but it's an old temple, the floor shouldn't be littered with holes, cables and that stuff.

DP, do you think that you could show me a close up of your flamethrower? I really like it!

Ok this is really good but I think there's something missing to it... maybe more AlphA troops?

EDIT: Never mind since you could only make two I think you could have added another fraction? Three way battle!!

Sorry, I took it apart already, but it's fairly simple and I think the main shot and the one below help you. The grips are a black telescope and a tap.

Congrats, your worst MOC yet. It's so bland compared to your other work. In fact, it just looks like a bunch of bricks with some stickers. I mean, at the least you could've added tiles. Though the flame thrower is nice.

EDIT: Honestly, I really don't see why you guys are saying this is "awesome" and "bad-a$$". DP can do better, I don't see why you guys are encouraging bad building.

QFT.

Really, half the posts were from non-guildies anyways. That's all they ever say.

Yea, I'd really like to see some better lighting, better background, more tiles, more greebles, etc....

I think I've proved my point, DY.

It's not terrible, stop being an obstinate jerk - that's Jaek's job.

While it may have blocks everywhere, or no tiles to cover the studs, it's not horrible. There definite areas of improvement, though.

Thanks DP, I really appreciate it.

Compared to his usual work, yes it is.

PD, STFU. Your MOC involves some stupid recreation of my faction and just a bunch of greebles. Building's aren't greebled. They just aren't. And now you complain about mine.

Dy, It's a temple. I'm not sure where you are from but old temples are usually rocks only and therefore not greebled. The lightning is good. The background is a piece of white paper and it's wrong because...?

Posts made by non-guildies are not bad. Non-guildies may not be as good as guildies in terms of building, but I don't see why you think their posts don't count. That's like a CABG version of racism...

And excuse me for being a collector and not having the money for massive amounts of bricks, tiles and plates. I'm really sorry that I have to spend more money on sets and cannot afford large BL orders. I hope you understand. I'm deeply sorry for not having as much bricks to build with as you guys do. *roll*


And Daisy, you're welcome. Let me know if you suceed in it and send me a PM if you have any troubles.
