This is excellent! The shelter looks awesome! I've been seeing alot of apocalypse lego mocs around, it must be pretty popular.

Nice job, obxcrew. Very creative idea. It really explains itself well with the scenery. Does this have anything to do with RAMM or A company, by chance? Maybe he's a local civilian who was forced to evacuate, because of heavy fighting between Hungarian rebels and the elite RAMM troops! Good job, again.

Wow! This is really cool. Which part is the makeshift shelter, the brown thing with plants on it, or the gray remnant of a vehicle?
What is the vehicle by the way?

Nope, this is an ApocaLEGO vignette, and isn't based on anything in particular.

And ZhaoPao, jzlspike is absolutely correct.

Very impressive shelter, obxcrew! It looks very close to a real shelter!

The thing you thought was a vehicle is a overpass.

Very good Obxcrew!! you never cease to amaze.
An overpass is like a bridge, that goes over another road or train track, am I correct??

Cool, obx! The shelter is really neat, what piece are the plants sitting on? Just a plate? (EDIT: No, not a plate...)

The Garand looks neat in there. I like all my BrickArms to be black, but the brown looks nice in this setting. Nice work!

And thanks, everyone.

It's composed of brown rods held together using rubber bands.

Your Post-Apoc vigs are among one of the best I've ever seen, especially this one! I woudn't be surprised if you won the contest!

I would. ;) But thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to snag the small category, but I'm not betting on it. . . .
