this thing is just a little TOO cool,
very inspiring. :-)
nice non symmetrical detailing
a innovative way of using the blue panels sideways
a SEALUG airlock ;-)
sideways containers, nice idea
hey now, access panels! weird, i just build a
hallway w/ a double floor and access panels,
was gonna werk it into a MOC soon. ah well,
a great mind thinks alike...
i like this one http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=35898
so a few questions:
in this pic:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=35878
where'd you get the purple hose?
also,
in the back there is a grey piece w/ a black rectangle
on it and some grey dots. what is it, and from whence
does it hail? what sets? part # ?
it is also in this pic

large leafed plants? from where?
in this pic:

1x2 tile w/ some indistinguishable picture on it.
where is it from? what's on it? (not the blacktron
tile, the other one.)
also in this pic

in this pic

there is a 1x2 tile on the desk in the upper left room
and another by the flowers. what are they and from where?
(i have the 2x2 map)
constructive criticism:
not enough engine room, those thrusters deserve a nice one.
(speaking of which, what sets have those wheels?)
lame landing gear ;-)
I really like this MOC
there is a lot going on in there
even down to the minifig headgear from aquazone
that has the little lights coming up over the shoulders.
details details details, i love it,
this one reminds me of my M.E.D.I.C. somewhat
and the red/grey is a color scheme i have planned to
use someday, i like it
very satisfying MOC
thx

| (...) Thanks, Paul. :) (...) They turned out a lot better than I expected when I first started. Not having any of the 1/4 domes that match them, this was the only option I had. It worked pretty well. I'll be doing more with them in the future. Once (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
