(...) 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 (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I never thought about that, I just selected something and went along... Also, it divides 32x32 evenly, something which is not possible with a 12x12. And there's the 32x32 crater bases too. (...) Too small to make interior details, I think. (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I'm thinking about false perspective, a la Disneyworld (or Flemish painting), with more "distant" modules raised up. A layer or six of gray bricks would be perfect, and yeah, it would hide green quite well. Both a 16x16 and a 12x12 standard (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I agree with Adrian, 16x16 baseplate with minimum 1-plate thickness in grey (original light grey, not super-terrific schizo grey with hints of gunmetal blue that took away our precious light grey like some cheap floozie). Instead of plates, (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I agree with Nick and Adrian (with Nick's sugestion about corridor height added). 16x16 with plates on top will make it more accessible to more builders. I haven't built a moonbase module yet, due to lack of time and space; I can hardly wait (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I think it would work despite the nonabundance of gray 6X12 plates. There are plenty of other ways for making a 12X12 gray plate area. We all have plenty of 4X4's, right? As long as the microbase is able to be picked up all as one solid item (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.space)
