Moonbase Module - Mech Bay 07
|
That’s crazy talk!
| |
Hey gang, I’m back and back strong with my latest Moonbase Module. Mech Bay
07. This Moonbase was the product of lots of basic Red Brick. I worked on the
construction for about 2 hours a day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
6 weeks to build.
|
What is that in dog years? Cause your version of time and everyone elses is not
the same. You are the Mag Bas of Mecha.
| |
The Facility consists of a Main Repair Bay in the center of the base
and two vehicle supply docks at either side:
|
So much going on...its like a where’s waldo scenario. Brilliant.
| |
The Hover Fish Dock, for small equipment and supplies.
...and the Support Vehicle 3; SV3 wheeled vehicle, for Bot arms, legs and
other components.
The Hover Fish, light runabout, ferries parts and small electronics packages
to and from the base. I really like the compact design and it took some
carefull building to come up with a design that gelled.
|
The fish that saved Pittburgh, is Gabe Kaplan behind the wheel? You should
throw this one into the hovercraft competition. Slap a gun on it Sophie..just
once...you know you want to.
| |
The SV3, wheeled vehicle has 4 wheel steering and a cab crew of two.
A support duty crew of 4 rides in the back to help stow Bot parts when called
to action.
|
A lunar ghetto ride if there ever was one. Ready for action!
| |
A pair of upper manipulator arms repair and tend to the top portion of the
Little Bot.
|
Ooooh, manipulator arms
| |
While a pair of lower manipulator arms repair and tend to the lower portion
the Little Bot.
|
Ooooh...more manipulator arms.
| |
A pair of service cranes sit high above the two vehicle docks to unload and
swing parts up to the main over head crane’s service pass through platform.
|
The whole thing is impressive, but its the small details like the cranes and
gantry that make the song rock.
| |
A crew compliment of 50+ Mini-figs keep the facility brimming with activity.
Although, I did not have a chance yet to fully detail the upper floors and
rear section of the main gantry building, this is something I plan to do
casually over the next few weeks.
|
Phase II begins soon huh? I’d like to reserve some loft space if you have it.
| |
The Module has 3 corridor connections. One East, one West and one
North.
|
And not one of them defended with poison gas, or machine guns!
| |
I enjoyed the building process. I worked hard and looked forward to the day
when I could share it with all of you here on LUGNET.
|
Sharing is for idiots and Canadians, I think you’ve been teaching that class for
too long. “Mr. Sophie? James is poking a worm-gear up his nose again.”
| |
PLMKWYT! It’s fun like that!
|
You know what I think....Epic scale is always arousing, especially with this
level of detail, and moving-part goodness. I also think that you should just
get on with it and build a mecha big enough to accomodate your spindly frame,
you know you’ll do it eventually.

You forgot “Magnificent Bastard of Lugnet”, “Tortured Artiste”, and “Lord of the
Jersey Shore”. #7 is the best yet, rock on my friend. I’ll expect #8 by
Thursday
