(...) Nothing like taking a pre-established concept and making it your own. Nice work. Looking at the thumbnails, I didn't realize that it was even a moonbase. That thing is huge. Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) The only thing I'd like to see is maybe a couple small walkways that could hinge forward for access to the front of the bots. If you don't bring this to NWBC I'm going to throw megabloks at you. Not that I own any megabloks, but I'd go buy (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Something like hoses extending to the mechs and repair techs manning control stations and the like. (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

So if you did need alot of brick, instead going Vertical to make the skeloton of a service rig may be do-able. I'm gonna re examine what plate (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Hi E! Now ain't that neat!? Very cool idea to merge Mech with the Moonbase standard, all the moonbases I've seen so far have been a tad slim on the mech-side. I predict those days to be over. Now, for inspiration, take a look at Keith's Iron Reich (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.build)
