        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Jason Spears
     (...) 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.

         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility (New place for our Mecha) —Eric Sophie
     (...) Thank you, the credit goes to the .Spacers for the great idea. The Moonbase Concept is taking off like wild fire! I myself have great interest in giving my Mecha a place to park and be serviced. I am so glad I have finnally started to build in (...)

        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Mark Sandlin
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) You got me. There is actually Swinging Gantries behind the Bots. But I suppose they are not so visible. I cheesed out because I started to run out of parts. I could have made some swing arms but the colors would have been off. SO the ones (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Keith Goldman
     E, what a truly monumental moc! (E)xcellent, (E)pic, (E)rotic...in scope, grandeur and quality. Its a Bot-House, baby! The aquazone doors on the roof are a nice touch, Every Bot needs a sunroof. Where is the wet-bar and the dance floor? Next module (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Aquazone doors, well played huh?! (...) Keith, your words ring sweet as you have played a role in inspiring me to create more than just my standard fair. I struggled to get up enough Grey just to have it as you see it now. I hope to make more (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Amado C. Pinlac
     (...) E, So you finally built one of your own to house your mechs! From the last three pics, it looks like you need to add more detail work inside. 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)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Yay! And it was alot of fun. 35 hours building time. There are actually 35 mini-figs total within the Mech Bay Moonbase. Each on a different level doing things. Also on the ground Level helping to service the Bots. I suppose from the pictures (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Tristan Grau
     (...) Wow! Congrats on this Moonbase Mod Eric! You're strating to go space-y on us! Though the Queen Fleebnork was cool. Anyway, this mecha bay is really cool. The details really make it for me. The numbers by the bays, the suport crew, the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Thanks Sir! You got me on the Swinging Gantries. I really wanted to have them; front and back. I ran out of parts and I may revisit it in the futre. Also, it was tough to get the front ones mounted within the confines of the hanger itself. (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Tristan Grau
     (...) -snip- (...) Well, yes, I will at least atempt one. My mecha is smaller than the Little bots, so I think I could pull it off. I'll have to get a 48x48 baseplate though, as I don't have one. The moonbase project has intriqued me for awhile now, (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Chris Maddison
     (...) Eric, wow. As usual. :-) This is really nifty - I like the overall construction and the nifty little floors from the ground up. Like Mark, some walkways would have been icing on the cake. Mmm..cake. (URL) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Thanks Chris! I may improve the design over time or just make a new one. I'll keep it until the NWBC at least as well as some other future yet to be announced exhibits. Man, if I would have had somemore grey brick, I could have enlarged the (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Jason Coronado
     as always, i am in awe of your work, eric. your mecha alone demand the utmost respect from all sorts of lego afficianados. but this base...OMG! i can't imagine how many legos, how much time, and how much work goes into that thing. it's huge! i (...)

         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Hey buddy! Thank you for the kind words. I spent about 35 hours working on it. The first 24 in a row. I do that sometimes when I can see the end product. There are actually 35 mini-figs within the Moonbase. They are on all different levels (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Jason Coronado
     (...) as a matter of fact, i am. unfortunately, even a one-plate moonbase would require more pieces than i have. i am currently housing two large plano tackle boxes full of technic pieces and a little over 3, 50 to 60 drawer stack-on containers for (...)

         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) What's cool then is, you may be able to use your Technic to make a sort of Lattice or Beam Scaffold. 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 (...)

     In lugnet.announce.moc, Eric Sophie wrote: <snip all those cool pics> (...) That's not little. It's clearly HUGE! I love the classic space-styled mecha - they seem very 'right' somehow, which is cool because I think if someone had described the idea (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Eric Sophie
     (...) Haha! Thanks Will, I so want to continue building these kinds of structures. Can you imagine a giant Technic Gantry to house Jama! I may do it! I retro'd the Little Blue Bot to include the Classic Space look. The parts and colors were right, (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

        Re: Little Bot Hanger - Modular Service Facility —Tobbe Arnesson
   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)
