Ok I was trying to make this post my 100th but then the amazing event of Brickfair showed up. So I realy needed to reply on all those amazing prototypes.
Anyway here's the vig some of you have been waited for:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=339747

It's a military WWII training area. I've based my design on the games: Medal of honour: pacific assault and Call of duty 1. Maybe some of you recognize some area's and if that happends then I'm happy 'cause then I've made a good replica of the course.

I was planning to explaine some things to you guys but I thought: "Nah, let them figure it out themselves". For those who wanna know: I've already demolished this vig 'cause I've made my best creation so far but that creation just has to wait. Also for those who wanna see that I've created some "Further" training site's like an attilery training, Machine-gun training, Bazooka training and mortar training (mortar still needs some desinging). Let me know if I need to post those (ofcourse in a new topic).

Hope you like this,

Henk

Okay that is amazing! and now for the questions:

How long did it take?
Where did you get the weapons?
Where did you get all the people?

Whoa! This is pretty cool. I like all the people in black and the rifles stacked together in the crate! I also think that the shooting booth thing is cool.

1. It took me about 2 and a half hours to create (minus design time).
2 and 3. I'm 15 year (in 10 days i will be 16 =)) old and i've been collecting Lego since I was 3 or so, so that's quite a long time to collect this amount of minifigs. Trust me I have waaaaaaay more then you see here. The fact is that I only focused on the back of these minifigs (privates: Black with no hair, Drill sargents: black legs tan body and helmet/hair) so the number of minifigs who are the same looks enourmous. If you see the front of the privates torsos you can see that it's a wide collection of diffrent torso's.

The other responses:
Portaldude: Yeah I like the expression of this face i've already used it in about 4 diffrent vigs (so far I have about 10 vigs).
EDIT: No, I didn't bought them from bricklink (the TLC ones). The rest of the weapons was in the BA Ultimate Weapons Pack.

Master Animator: the rifles is not so difficult it's just 5 riflles compressed together and then they fit perfectly in 1 box, seriously you should try it out.

That's all I hope you guys want to see more!
Thanks

Henk

Wow I really like it! I may just have to use this idea and make my own training grounds? Also, I really like the line charge detonator you used! I might use that sometime! This is really cool! The obsacle course looks great! I will give credit if I use this idea.

Awesome! Do all of those minifigs have the same torso?

Well like I said in my second post on this topic: "If you look at the front of the minifigs torso's, you can see that there's a wide range of diffrent torso's shown"
I'm pretty sure that awnsers you're question.
Legofish: Sure you can use my idea (as long if you show my name in you're "thanks to:" section.
Mandalorian: Thanks man, I appriciate!

So I hope this topic get a bit more attention and then I'm going to post some add-on idea's (for more info one of my previews posts in this topic) in a new topic.

Sounds good, but please make sure there are BrickArms in the shots. Thanks!

Wow my first reply from the big man himself...awesome! Sorry Will I wanted to have more BA in it but unfortunately I only had the chance to buy one ultimate weapon pack so I only have 3 ww2 weapons. No wait that sounds stupid, I could have used those weapons in multiple pictures. I shall show more BA in upcoming pictures. Even better, my next creation shows BA weapon(s) in every picture (i think, ah well over half of the pictures at least).

Thanks for you're comment,

Henk

Edit: Whoops sorry Will, I readed it in a wrong way. Of course there are BA in it (Duh) it are the best weapons I have. The scale of those advanced training area's are quite small so the BA weapons will be very visable. Hope you like those to. Oh that reminds me, I need to finish my mortar training area.
