   I've updated my web site with pictures of my lunar mining colony -
Copernicus City.

   The Prologue and Chapter I show the inception and construction of the
initial base on my 4'x8' lunar landscape.  Future chapters will follow its
development into a thriving settlement and will include some "behind the
scenes" photos showing techniques used in the construction of the mountian.
(Some text related to the construction techniques was posted on 4/12/2000:

   The direct link to Copernicus City is:

   There is also a link to it off my home page:

(...) I was wondering why this was posted to .trains... now I know. Very cool. Some nice touches there.

(...) Nice. I like the story build-up. You did a good job with the story line and the technology to go with it. I think it's very true to a real-life situation. -Duane (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.space)

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
(...) Excellent. I love models on a grand scale. (currently constructing a 6x48stud baseplate station myself) The track is crying out to disappear into a tunnel where it meets the rockface. What explosives do you plan to use to move the legorock? (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) Brian, Copernicus City is amazing and inspiring. I hope my future space colonies have a fraction of your detail. Let us know when the next pics are up. George (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

(...) I found it! It's right here... (...) The regolith is seriously good. I wanna see that in a castle set, now. :-, You've really captured a sense of lonliness, and the drudgery of building a new moonbase from scratch. I love it!

  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
(...) Brian, Great Job!! Inspiring!! The story is very imaginative and ties everything together very well. You must have put quite a bit of time into planning the whole project (I read your link on Cbeams - very intersting - I've done similar (...)

Wow, that is simply an elegant layout. It looks deceptively simple. All ther great ones make it look easy. I look forward to seeing the layout fully fleshed out. Chris (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.space)
  Re: Lunar Mining Colony
 
(...) I have received a comment from a non-LUGNET friend that it was not quite clear from the ore processor mpeg what was happening. In case anyone here also was unclear I thought I should elaborate on it. The still picture that is the link to the (...)
