Construction Notes

Build Time: 5 days

Break it down for the homies, E, how many actual hours of those 5 days were devoted to building?

6 corridor connections

In my way of thinking, 6 is too many connections to the lunar ghetto. Do you really want fleebnorks and spam-boys running wild in this oustanding moc? Think about some explosive bolts, chain-guns or at least some signage to keep the riff-raff out.

X-POD Clip Straps

This was my only problem with this dio. I don’t particularly mind that you used them, it certainly is creative, but they are jarring to my sensitive eyes. I’m also a little dissapointed that you didn’t include your kick-$%& cranes and gantry-arms from Mech Bay 07 and many of the others. Still, I appreciate the fact that you were trying something new.

I have to agree with Comrade Crackhead and others who gave much love for the green-on-green action. I think it would be interesting and potentially awesome if you somehow added some green to Chili, to give the whole setting an abandoned, overgrown look. I don’t know how practical it would be, but it would really add even more to the mood of the dio. Don’t get me wrong, it still looks great, but that was the first thing that came to mind.

LMKWYT!

I think this is the return of the Magnificent Bastard! Not that you really went anywhere. As with all of the previous incarnations of the mechbay, the gantry is the highlight for me, you really have a knack for building them in a way that they don’t dominate the moc, but look well detailed. I also liked the xpod container at the bottom, I have not seen one used in a dio yet.

Well done E.
