You have about a month to get your Moonbase Modules ready. If you are coming to the Fest, bring a Module! Remember that the standard was changed last summer to rase corridors by 2 bricks.

(...) I'm working on at least one module for PDX, in conjunction with Mark Sandlin and 3vil. First con, first moonbase. Should be fun :) --Ryan (21 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.scibrick, lugnet.space, FTX)

In fact, we built a moonbase with 64 modules at the latest meeting of Swedish Lego Nuts, but that was cheating as we used my half-scale standard (16x16 modules): (URL) Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: (2 URLs) (21 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.scibrick, lugnet.space)

(...) How about 16x16 built on a layer of grey bricks? So you have the green baseplate, and put a layer of bricks on that. Then you can move the corridor connections to the baseplate itself and simplify the corridor connections. Adrian (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

One question while I'm at a pause in my building- what type of module do you guys find you usually need more of: 1, 2, 3 or 4 corridored-modules?
