Okay, since I saw Allister put his great Tour Bus Module up, I've pulled my
finger out and taken a few pics of my humble effort.

Purplestar Interstellar Internet Connections provides speedy and reliable
internet access for those Moonbase citizens who like putting pictures of
their wacky Lego Creations online for all to see.  Prices are good - 20
Credits a month, plus the cost of a planetary phonecall, gets you unlimited
hours, 50 Terabyte download  (.5 Credit a gigabyte beyond that).

The business employs five people - A receptionist, two call-centre girls and
two server-admin dudes.  The owner, one Jodian Rech, is usually out hopping
from party to party in his space-car (seen in the last photo, with the
enigmatic silhouette).

Some things you won't see in the photos are the string-powered lift and
airlocks, the server (basically rows of 1x1 neon cylinders on top of each
other), or indeed the connecting corridor.  But I assure you they're there :)

(...) overall look achieved by the rounded and arched bits. More pics please. A little too much trans-antifreeze for me tho. And nice touch with the sign. :-) -Chris (22 years ago, 11-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

Thats a cool module you built there. I like how smooth the outside is and how great the color scheme is. That car could fit in nicely with my Future City vehicles. One question: where is the corridor to hook up with the other modules? Maybe I missed (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jan-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

A lunar ISP and an unconventional colour combo....very interesting. Much of the highlights already commented on, but perhaps one more would be the use of the curved 1x2x4 elements over the view ports...really softens the lines of the base. Good (...)
