Hello,

Here is my first moonbase:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25449 (when moderated)

Actually, it is also my first MOC posted to .space (I think).  I have
very recently begun really building things again, and the moonbase
project has excited me.  Unfortunately, I have a little daughter and a
small house, so my construction workers don't go as fast as some here. :)

Anyway, this is a hanger for small light freighters.  I am building an
example one
(http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/alfredjr/Space/moonbase/Espilon7/secret-ship.

quarters) layer built.  There will be a lower level for engines and an
upper level for cargo.  Evetually making some kind of ovally sphere.

But, back to the module:

The intent is that this would be part of the old, run down, industrial
area of the moonbase.  It has a dome to protect the ship in its hold
from micrometorites and radiation.  It also allows the hangar crew and
ship crews to remove their space suits from time to time.  A light
ionizing shield protects the exposed gaps in the structure.

The crane is there to move cargo, and can be used when the done is
closed.  Here is a shot of the dome:

Here it is opened:

Here is where all the launch and cargo planning happens:

Well, that is about it.  I suppose there is more to say, but this
message is big enough.  LMKWYT.

(...) Alfred, I know how you feel, Ihave two daughters, 6 and 1, and days go by without me snapping two bricks together. Great dome, it's reminiscent of the one in 2001, and it's nice to see a sheltered place for the poor astro-mechanics to do their (...)
