I am trying to build a compact minifig cryo chamber for those deep space treks. Does anyone have some ideas they would be willing to share? Duane (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) About six ice cubes and a paper cup works pretty well for short trips. For longer trips, I take two Explorien-style clear blue half-cylinder pieces to form a 4x4 hollow canister which a minifig can squeeze into with its leg folded. I put 1x4 (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Hehe. Ahh... blinking lights... Enya... zzz.. I was thinking the same thing. Also the 4x6x2? older style space canopies work well, if you're not using them. But any full-sized canopy should do it. And IIRC you won't need to fold their legs. (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Pretty cool. If the unit is against the wall, you could actually build it into the wall, to save a bit of floor space. With the wall extended by one stud past the black frame, you'd still get a bit of white sticking out. I like using the (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) What I've used for "infantry dropships" might work too--I use the curved trans-blue canopies (the one you get four of on the Nebula Outpost) and build little enclaves into the wall. The problem is that they're hard to put *inside*--they've (...) (25 years ago, 23-May-99, to lugnet.build)
