As a long time lurker who has finally entered the 21st century (at least
enough to post a MOC anyway), greetings to all.

Inspired by the mini-SW sets and the Moonbase Project, I present a
quarter-scale Blacktron mining base (with bonus message intercept capabilities).

http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/729

or

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=42908

for a caption-free version with shots of each module.

The mini-vehicles are a mix of stick-fig versions of real sets and some
original ships as well.

Comments are welcome, and thanks to Brickshelf and MOCpages for their
outstanding services.

-Scott

Beautiful. I really like the recognizable ships/vehicles from different lines. But what is the smiley-go-lucky crew of the classic Explorer doing as a regular customer of a Blacktron base? Shady, I tell you. Shady. (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.space)

I really like the base, but the thing that really impressed me were all the mini versions of classic ships. My favorite may be the Star Hawk. A much under-rated ship might I add. Superb work. You sir are a steely eyed minimoc man. Welcome to space. (...) (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.space)

With the quality of the mini stuff coming out like this, it's definately turning around my thoughts on the scale. Nice Stuff Scott....and welcome! Cheers, -G (...) (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Wow. My first MOC and I've gotten lots of great responses - and I've made the sidebar MOC picture! Woo-hoo! I'm especially flattered that I got picked to go after the minifig sculpture. That thing is beautiful - I wouldn't have minded if it stayed (...) (22 years ago, 9-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, yes. Very fine. You've really captured the essence of microfig scale in this MOC- everything is done so well, with the typical whatsit micro-greeblies done really well. You modeled the shapes well, which is often the hardest thing. Eveything (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Cool! I really like all the different mini versions of Lego space sets (the Deep Freeze Defender is especially nice). You're off to a good start. --Dan (22 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.space)

That is way too cool, Scott. The variety of buildings, the vastness of it, the different CS themes, the possibilities! Great Job! -Bruce LEGO @ Bruce's Homepage - (URL) (22 years ago, 10-May-03, to lugnet.space)

Very cool. I'm really impressed with your overall Blacktron work (although I'm more of a classic space nut :). Any chance you'd make a minifig scale version (instead of a stickfig scale)? -Anne (...) leave your lover, but there are >.~.\ `` ` `,`,`. (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.space)
