This is so great! Congrats on the strong public debut!

Jeff, I am so glad you hooked us up with this Event. The Green House is
absolutely beautiful. I felt at home. The Green House manager was also very
kind and she seemed genuienly glad we (GardenSLUG) was there at the event.
|
This looks like it was an excellent location and setup for community interaction
and organization awareness.
| |
We have standing offers to display and hold meetings at the Green House in the
future. I say we oughta go for it. The place is huge!
|
Sounds good to me!

Jeff, Eric, & Tim,
This moonbase is FAN-TAS-TIC! The design, construction, and detail are top
notch!
| |
Our Moonbase was geared around two themes.
1. We wanted to make the Moonbase theme to go along with the Green House
concept. So Jeff created a Hydo-ponics bay. He had fun using all kinds of cool
parts to create tons of details. Great Job! The base features over 100
windows!
|
Jeff, excellent idea! The use of those clear bulbous windows work so well as sub
greenhouses!
| |
2. I wanted to make a “Mech-Bay” docking facility. (of course) but seriously,
I figured it was a good way to bridge the genres. I hope others will attempt
the same thing. Any Takers?
|
Eric, of course this is a good way “to bridge the genres.” As Amado has
commented, you’ll be needing a supermodule, or two, for your plans. I myself do
not have the supplies to create such a module but I’d be glad to help in the
construction process.

All in all our fledgling attempt was well recived. We hope to polish off some
of the details for display at Brick Fest this August. We know that many of the
Spacers are great builders and we have to build to a high standard. So what
you see in these pictures will probably be refined just a tad more.
Great, thanks again everyone and enjoy the pictures:

IMHO much refining, be needed will it not.
Being at home and on dial-up, I only
highlighed the pic four for a closeup. However, from the clear thumbnails I can
see a lot of detail. The R2 pushing 3P0, the carnivorous plant, the floating
window wiper, and the Stormtrooper taking on a fleebnork are some subtle and
terrific “scenes” and action sequences that help bring life to the moonbase.
Keep it up!
And as Tim Caffrey commented, I think a joint train layout could definitely work
in the future and I’d be up for the effort.

| Just a suggestion, what if, instead of doing a train setup you do a monorail setup that ties with the moonbase theme, like with the old space sets and the Unitron Monorail. Obviously both could be done, but I really enjoy the monorail look. Two (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.org.us.gardenslug)
