Very cool, Eric. But in particular, I applaud your use of X-Pod clips. Rubberbands? Stickers? Salt&Pepper Shakers? I say if LEGO makes it, it fits the purist ideal. Felix (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

I'd say this is your 3rd best mechbay yet. The reason I think this is because it is very focused on a particular idea, and successfully executes it. Except for those weird X-pods and straps, this moonbase is incredibly "lean" and to the point. As (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)
