  BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview
 
Good Morning, Here's a preview of the Blacktron Intelligence Agency for the upcoming moonbase project at the Parent's and Children's Expo. I'm still waiting on a few Bricklink orders to complete some details, but i thought I see what people think. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space) !

(...) That's a very cool module, I love the way the columns interconnect with each other at different heights. The custom stickers are well done too. But might I suggest you resize those images? They are awfully big and bandwidth heavy for no real (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) WAY TO GO!!!! Wow, that is some serious Blacktron. It's like Blacktron habitrail on sterioids. Are you gonna keep it assembled for a few weeks? Is it Moonbase compliant? --Todd (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)

(...) Very cool! Can we hope to see this at Brickfest DC? --Bram (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)

(...) Nice model. I wonder if it qualifies for a world record as "the largest Blacktron model ever created"? :) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview
 
(...) Thank you for the kind words, I wasn't sure how this would be accepted since most of the time I just build things for my own enjoyment and don't post them. I put a moonbase corridor connection on the left hand side as viewed. This was built to (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)

  Re: BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview
 
(...) I think a Blacktron Intelligence agency building should be a completely black cube like office building. All the window's being mirrored smoked glass. A bit like the 2001 obelisk. All take off's and landings being via the rooftop landing (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview
 
(...) Hi Steve, I don't think the obelisk would have been much fun to build, however, I you have a good point about the rooftop landings. I don't know you well enough to know if the remark about hamster habitats was tongue in cheek or a put down, (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)

  Re: BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview
 
(...) That looks fantastic. I knew it would knock my socks off when you requested another baseplate of space on the layout. Is the rest of your fleet still together or did you have to sacrifice them for the base? I don't see all of them anymore. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)

  Re: Show. When is it.
 
Joe, The show is this Sat & Sun. As far as getting in on the show Steve McD is coordinating the moonbase module, so he'll have to answer if there is any room left. I for one have no idea what the rest of your post even means. Is it written in some (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: BIA - Blackron Intelligence Agency Preview

(...) Now that has got to be one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. I am impressed that is your first space MOC. I guess it helps when you have all those good parts to work with. -Mike Petrucelli (20 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.us.indylug, lugnet.space)
