Mech Bay 08 - Chili Den



The planters and open-faced helmets are a departure from the usual “hostile environment” theme, and so this would be hard-pressed to fit well into any moonbase display I’ve ever seen. It would work better if the plants were weird-colored and tended by martians, but as it is it doesn’t seem like a moonbase module.

Hi Tony, thanks for the reply.

Open faced helmuts? Where? The visors are just flipped up. Also, what is the matter, never seen ESB? Forest moon dude.

Sorry... “it doesn’t seem like a moonbase module” wasn’t fair.

...and pardon me if I seemed in kind.

   How many do you have, anyway? Do you keep them assembled, or do you take each down to build another? I’d love to see all of ‘em hooked up and populated with mechy goodness. It would be cool to have that many modules that all thematically go together so well.

Let’s see, I have 4 Moonbase Module Mech Bays now, a total of 14 baseplates:

Mech Bay 04 on LUGNET Mech Bay 04 on Brickshelf
Mech Bay 04

Mount SciBrick - Moonbase Module Mech Bay 05 on LUGNET Mount SciBrick - Moonbase Module Mech Bay 05 on Brickshelf
Mount SciBrick - Moonbase Module Mech Bay 05

Mech Bay 07 on Lugnet Mech Bay 07 on Brickshelf
Mech Bay 07

Mech Bay 08 on LUGNET Mech Bay 08 on Brickshelf
Mech Bay 08

I myself can’t wait to get 500 tables and put them together! See, and there is the quandry, you are right, the green” forest/grasslands module makes for a funky fit. However, it was my thought to surround Mech Bay 08 with similar earthen terrain. A future goal in tandem with other Mecha Builders so we can have a layout strategy for the genre.

  
   Thanks again, try to keep an open mind.

Aw, don’t take it like that, man. I’m happy to see a post that actually has a MOC- those are so rare around here these days. Thanks!

Agreed, -10 yards Sophie.
