For all of you coming to brickfest, please pop over to the brickfest website
and register your MOCs. Make sure if you have any special needs (i.e.
proximity to outlets, etc.) you fill that in. Please make it a point to
bring sig-figs as well. I’m hoping for a space group picture with a
corresponding sig-fig group pic.
Additionally, Joe and I are were thinking in honor of the Sea Monkeys, we’d
have a seafood dinner some night. Anyone else up for this?

Sounds good to me. Maybe we can order some Maryland-esque crabs?
Hey Brickfest Spacers,
Okay, well...
To go along with this update and because there are about two weeks left, I
thought it would be a good idea to address a possible dilemma (stop me if I’m
out of whack). I’ve been wondering over the past couple weeks about the
breathable connectivity and workable issues of the Moonbase corridors.
As can be
seen from various modules, some enclosed spaces were designed to be pressurized,
so that the inhabitants could move about more “freely” (ie. the Club, Alpha
quarters), while other enclosed areas, some spanning corridor to corridor, were
created so users would have to be in pressured suits (/airsuits). The thing is
not all units are accomodated for airlocks and it might be quite difficult to
properly arrange the ones that are. SO...I think we need to discuss this
beforehand and see what (if little) needs to be done. I propose as a decent and
fast remedy the implementation of the following:
Swivel Frame
Swivel Pane
What’s great about this frame is that it fits the standard corridor and the pane
will allow a regular minifig with regular spacepack to pass through (sideways).
There is hardly any change in floor level as the pane can be placed studs down,
also allowing for some lighting near the “doorpost”. Furthermore, with the TRU &
KBToys sales, these parts can be picked up in pairs for $10 or less in the
(which also has some good tubing, foilage, and the proper
System TIE Fighter windshield).
Placing a frame+pane near each corridor exit would pressurize the entire module,
while two frame+plane’s in close proximity would create a regular airlock.
Alright, post away. And thanks for reading thru as I tend to not say things
directly as possible.
-Andrew
