Everyone at the Moonbase has to go somewhere to relax and party, right?

The genesis of this project was at Brickswest 2003, where Derek Schin and I
were hanging out at the Maniac shop, messing around with the parts bins.
There were a bunch of those trans-green octagonal canopy pieces, and we were
just fussing with them, laying them out in various patterns to see what
might work, when I struck on the idea to use technic pieces to tie them all
together.  Well, I had to buy a few and go through with the inspiration, and
lo, this is the result.  Enjoy!

(...) ...WOOOWOWWWWWW! That's beautiful!!! Duuuuddddeee! At first glance, I thought it was ray-traced with MegaPOV because of the trans-green. But you actually used trans-green that way! All right! --Todd (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Boy, you've really raised the bar on this one Adrian. This takes the moonbase beyond mere Lego models into pure Art. In a way I miss all the external activity you've put in your other modules, but in this one they'd only distract me from the pure (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) The green and black compliment the trans-green nicely. And the club idea is perfect, as well. I can't wait to see it in person someday! Derek (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Just how freaking cool is that?!?! Oh man, I can't believe you came up with that design. Well, OK maybe I can...but it still is firmly in the can't-be-done-yet-it-is category. That is so wild...it perfectly captures the nightclub scene. I take it DJ (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Adrian, That's just freakin' cool. How solid is the roof when you take it off? how are those black 2x2 tiles suspended between the trans green octagonal elements? Bruce (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Now that's pretty slick! I especially dig how it sits "off angle." Cool interior too. Bling bling! --Dan (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, wow. This is so great. It almost has an alien feel to it... must be the trans-green. But the design and construction and interior all works well. Wow. -JHK (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Too cool. I really dig the interior detailing, everything's perfect. Take care Soren (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Awesome. It looks like an alien hatchery on the outside, but it's a sweaty bar on the inside. It's the exact opposite of the nightclubs around here - they look like sweaty bars on the outside but the occupants look like products of an alien (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
