My first project with Mold 3. Though it was done a while before the release, I waited for my shipment to take photos. One of the figs in grey armor in the tunnel is armed with a sci-fi shotgun (a modified Xeno). I will add picks of the modified gun in the mods thread later.
Backstory: A gaping hole from an artillery shell is left in an alley road, revealing a hidden underground tunnel. It becomes a battleground in the sprawling war of the post-apocalypse.

All images in the folder are public.

Wow, that is really good. I love the lighting, and the fire.
EDIT: I would like to know the back story too.

I love the top pic! It looks like real fire. However, I would like to know the backstory, and the Brickshelf Folder is not public.

Great job. What I may ask is making the flames? An artillery shell perhaps?

Yes I was wondering that also.

Very nice! Great job with the flames. I just don't get the post-apoc feel though. Great job anyway.

My new deep-linked pics should give this the more post-apoc feel and explain what is making the flames. I made a poor choice in what photos to put up originally.

Now that I can see the whole thing . . . GREAT JOB, MELTHEPLATYPUS!! That vig is easily in the top three coolest I've ever seen! The hole in the street is great!

Could we have a brief backstory?

Cheers!

Wow, thanks!
I'll have to work on a backstory.

Oh, so it's a flame thrower that's creating the fire.

The lighting is great, and how did you make the flamethrower?

The flamethrower is just Brick-built, I don't have it on hand now, but when I find it, I'll upload a parts list here.

That is an awesome vig! I love the flames and the figs.

The pen is mightier than the sword, they say... but they didn't count on the machine gun!
I'm looking to make a Halo shotgun and sniper rifle. If you have any suggestions, could you PM them to me? Thanks.

Thank you all for the comments. I hope to produce a post-apoc model for Brickfair in DC in August if I can make it there and don't blow too much money on Bricklink buying dark greys. It will have a tunnel section like this one. I'm not sure of the size the model will be yet, but I'm thinking 32 X 48 studs. We'll see.
