Hi Adrian,
Thanks for the suggestions! The force field thing is a nice idea! I
appreciate the help. My old brain just isn't adapted to thinking in terms
of outer space! My theme is pirates and I find myself feeling like a duck
out of water in trying to build space mocs! haha But I'm learning... Maybe
I'm not too much of an old dog yet!
Thanks as well for the examples! I need to study the modules made by other
people more! By the way, your party at the moonbase moc is excellent!
Thanks,
Tom
