Very nice. I like the stairs on the fountain the best. But what's that green dragon tail supposed to be in the first picture? Is it an eel, or something?

Oh. Thanks! Now it makes sense. I may have to use that someday.

Interesting. For a few mintues there, I was worried I had competition as the chronicler of JT's adventures :shock:

I like the idea of the fountain of youth. Was thinking about sending him after that, but didn't want to deal with the implications of JT as an infant.

I'd comment more, but I can seem to get the larger pictures to open. They open about halfway then close.

Athos, did you try right-clicking the pics and chosing Open Link in New Window? I had the same problem you did but this way worked for me.

I like the concept, not to mention the execution. I'd almost be convinced it was an actual theme. The fountain's definitely the best model of the trio; perfectly elegant in design.
I'd give the LEGO Company a pat on the back if I could. Thank you for the excellent sets. You are truely going in the right direction.

... I thought you used different building techiques for the sub, but it looks like come kind of copy-cat lego... Sorry if I caused beef...

That's a good teaser story like thing. Good alone and better if made longer.

Nice building you've done there. Actually, it's the first time I've ever seen a MOC display with figs underwater. I love the submarine and the fountain of youth is awesome. You've done some unique building! Soo... what happens when JT gets there though? I want more! ;-)

It depends on the story. Sometimes it keeps you young and immortal, and other times it heals.

I noticed this too... but actually, I don't think it's that bad if done...tastefully? I'm sure there are many who would disagree, and they would have good points. I guess it's just personal preference? Still, I think that he was able to create some great, and unique MOCs this way.

Meh... we think you should, BQ !!

There's many a story to be told using the Adventurers line of sets/characters.... Good luck, and keep building!

Hmm... It would be really cool to see this written out.

As long as Athos and BuilderQ don't do the same stories and don't contradict anything that was done or is gonna be done to each other, Like a famous man once said,
"...I think this is a start of a beautiful relationship..."
