Hi all, Just a very (!) small MOC for the Moonbase project. I'm normally a castle guy, but I wanted to get in on the fun of this group build. Eventually I'll make a whole module, but last night I threw this together. At a convention or such where there are many modules, there are bound to be dangling corridors that connect to nothing. We would need to have something to cap off these open hallways. I offer the following simple design based around a TIE window: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=24747 Some deep links until the folder is moderated follow: The light gray part is just supposed to represent the end of a Moonbase corridor. The actual cap is the dark gray part: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Hietbrink/miscellaneous/moonbase/corridorcap/cap3.jpg You can see in this pic that a fig just fits, so he can look out at the moonscape below: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Hietbrink/miscellaneous/moonbase/corridorcap/cap4.jpg Here's the cap disconnected from the corridor piece: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Hietbrink/miscellaneous/moonbase/corridorcap/cap5.jpg I've got step-by-step instructions (kind of fuzzy, sorry), but you can easily see how it was put together from this exploded view: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Hietbrink/miscellaneous/moonbase/corridorcap/capinst00.jpg I tried to make this from pieces that everyone would have. You could do it without those L-shaped bricks but it would be less sturdy. I figure if a few people would bring some caps like this to a show it would help in assembling an air-tight moonbase. Bruce

		Re: simple MOC, moonbase corridor cap
A very useful and nice MOC. I would think everyone would bring different caps for his or her module, but this uniform cap really makes the project... well... uniform. Also, most caps I have seen don't include windows and now a dead end is suddenly a (...) (22 years ago, 7-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
