I'll save those shots for when I disassemble it. (evil grin)

looking back at it, I agree that parts of the roof are pretty bare, and the

I wish I could remember who I stole the door design from. the original was
studs-out on both sides, 5 plates thick... I couldn't find any small plate
hinges, so I just used the slopes to suggest reinforcing.

Again, cool moc..

yeah, you do seem to have a near-infinite grey brick supply. I may be able
to scrounge one more steam plant together, but I'll have to rebuild the
current one (with quite a few more studs-out walls.)

Anthony, this is a very cool moc. I'm obviously a big fan of the sci-fi industrial genre, and its nice to see a project that doesn't have any specific military application. Although you have to know it would look cool with troops running around (...) (23 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.build)
