What happens when you cross the mini Star Wars sets with the Moonbase Project?

Duh.  The mini-Moonbase, of course.

I was stuck away from home for a while, but luckily I had one of each of the
mini-SW sets to keep me company.  After piling all of the pieces on a table,
some Moonbase modules starting jumping out at me.  I built eight total
modules, with a few pieces left over (I could have just stuck the remaining
pieces onto various open spaces in order to use all of the pieces, but
aesthetically I just couldn't make myself do it).  Once I got home, I took
these pictures and uploaded them.

These were incredibly fun to build, from deciding what should serve as
module connectors, to color schemes, to compromises that had to be made
along the way...Thanks for looking--any and all comments and criticism welcome.

(...) Derek, the mini-moonbase rocks. I like it much better than some of the regular size modules I've seen. It has a very cool, industrial feel to it. I especially liked the module that was mostly x-wing parts. I can only imagine how good it would (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

Hey, Very cool. I think my favorite little bit is the way you used two 2x2 radar dishes at the top of the Sconce Hotel. It looks a lot like a rotating restaurant or that Space Needle in Seattle. Bruce (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Nice miniature layout. Couldn't help but wonder what it would look like down in a lunar valley with a space mini-fig in the foreground. Could be an awesome backdrop. Did you ever get around to posting your B-25 Mitchell? I borrowed your wing (...) (22 years ago, 24-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
