I have posted two quick pictures of a space station that I have been working on for the last six weeks. I am planning to bring the station to BrickFest (if I can get it in my car). Now that BrickFest is just days away I hope I can complete it in (...) (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space) !!

(...) Bob, To quote one of my favorite movies: "I think we're going to need a bigger boat.." Holy Smokes, man! That thing is HUGE! Somebody needs to take a LOT of pictures of that especially if the inside is revealed. -alex (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) See, and that's why with stuff that size it's often a good idea to consider making it so it can be dismantled. (...) I think if you plan to keep building MOCs as tall as your son, it's going to get very expensive by the time he's ready to (...) (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Wow!, No wait, WOW! Beautiful...I'll be taking a good look at the station when I get to Brickfest! What exactly holds the structure together...that station must be at least 30 pounds, so the supports must be really strong! Joe Meno (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

Actually, I suspect that is the best floating LEGO space station I've ever seen. Please confirm my suspicions at the Fest. (URL) j o n (URL) zemi.net> (URL) the-shipyard> (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Wow. Wow! I thought about trying to make something along these lines, but it would have been much smaller, and looked far worse. For those of use who can't get to Brickfest, please take lots and lots of pictures, and show us how you're making (...) (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Amazing, simply amazing. I am curious, did you use hinges or did you just "finger" the bricks so the can be offset in order to create the round shape? Obviously however you did it managed to be strong enough to support the weight. -Mike (...) (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

That is the freakin' coolest thing I've ever seen. I REALLY hope it makes the trip to BrickFest in 1 piece, 'cause I'd LOVE to see it up close. (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

Great Cyborg's Ghost!! That's freakin' COOL!!! I can't quite make out how it all stays together, but the structure intrigues me. I'd love to see pics of minifigs at work and play in this station, but I think I agree with the public that thorough (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) I would love to see about two or three of those rings connected to a central spine. I would trade all of my pre-80's blue traintracks to see that in RL. Everybody's said it already, but I'll say it again: It is cool. Mike "David, would you (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
