Outlaw-Jack presents: The Grand Ol' Miss

Archive: 13 posts


Okie-dokie... storytime!!:

"A'ight, WAAAY down south near Mississ', or... um, Missouruh, I was walkin' down 'dem riverbank when an ol' steamer rolled on over to my side. She was purty bad, wit her hull all crackin' n' warin' n' stuff. Why, she wasn't nowhere near fine at ALL. Eerily enuf, ain't no-one was on board. But a note was near the wheelhouse:


Dear Anonymous,

This here's what's left of the ol' Confed fleet. She ain't much, but she handles mighty-fine, indeed. Her name is the C.S.S. Annabelle, a passengur vessel fer farryin' 'cross from Orleans tah St. Louie n' back. I can't do no more fer her, but here's an offer I KNOW y'all can't refuse: Fix'r up fine, and she's all yers. I reckon y'all can handle'r fine.

Wit all due respects,
Robert

So I reckon'd, "Shure, why not?", and wit sum determnations (and TONS of spair time), I restirred her back to'r prime. I stripped her ol' Confed colors and put'n sum Ol' Glory. Wit sum thinkin' I named her, well, The Grand O'l Miss. And now, she's paddlin' up n' down the ol' Mississ', chuggin' on undr Ol' Stars N' Stripes."

Ok, now enough of the cheese; let's see what the hype's about:

The Grand Ol' Miss is perhaps the BIGGEST thing I've ever created. Stretchin' farther than most bomb levels and packed with as much gadgets as a Swiss-Army knife, she chugs along at a smooth pace down any flat surface of water . Packin' a periscope, cargo crane, automated gangplanks, a hitched swampboat AND a sniper rifle, The Grand Ol' Miss is stuffed with goodies and surprises. With a simple grab n' go system, steering is a breeze. Using the Music, Metal Gear, Watchmen, Killzone, Monster & PoTC packs, this is also one of the most content-exclusive things I've made as well. I plan on makin' a display level of it, but first I wanna hear what you guys think. Close-ups will be up shortly.

I love your "narration" of your boat. It's very clever!

I made a boat too, but it's not as detailed as this! Nice job!

These close-ups have been WAAAY overdue. :S

Hunting Boat

We start off with this little thing. Nothing much (abit stern-heavy), but it packs enough punch to get you where you need to. But the special thing about this boat is that mounted on the front is a .500 EZ-Varmit Regatta hunting rifle, a popular firearm courtesy of Regatta & Cuyamaca Ltd. The convenience of shooting and floating all packed in one.

Engine Room

Sure, it's a bit small, but this meager "steam" room powers the whole boat. With a dual-set of boilers and an industrial-sized steam converting chamber, the boat chugs around effortlessly and at a slow, calming pace. You ought to see the room in action.

Limited on time, I'll update this as soon as I get back to the keyboard.

Are we ever going to see this in a level. It's been nearly 3 months now. When I eventually see it I'll expect it to put on the tv for me and bring me a cup of tea and some toast and marmalade lol.2010-04-18 02:23:00
