I've been looking to expand myself beyond medium sized fighters, maybe this
is the way to do it...  I'm in!

Will you be selecting a color scheme (or at least a partial color scheme)
for us all to follow?  I suggest mostly grey with any other color
highlights.  That shouldn't confine people too badly but will still result
in an end model that looks like all the parts belong together.  Plus, grey
is probably one of the easier colors to get, and it's easy to match other
colors to.

Will this thing be rendered?  You could make an option for people to submit
a .dat file and then the entire structure could exist in cyberspace.  It
would also make it easier to match the color scheme and to get modules from
people who can't attend the events.  I imagine this thing will be getting
far too long to exist in real parts, anyway.  :)

Just to make sure, I think I understand the structure: a long elevator shaft
with modules coming off of it, sort of like a polymer with several different
molecules attatched to the carbon chain?  Or like the "Helix" in Star Trek -
Enterprise?

All the modules you suggested sound like this is to be a military base.  Is
this to be limited to military base-style modules, or is it more like a
civilian space station?

As soon as you make us some basic guidelines and standardize the shaft width
and connectors (and the colors?), I'll get started!  I already have an
idea...  I'm afraid all I can give is a rendering or a .dat file, though.
As much as I would love to go to an event, I don't see that happening too
soon.  Maybe I could get to Bricks West, if I have money by then.  ;)     If
you want to get serious about the rendering thing, I could help out if you
need it.

(...) I think that using a non-color as your base color (white, black, grey, dk. grey) and using a real color as your highlight or flashy color (just look at Jon Palmer's stuff, very controlled) is the best bet. (...) for now, LDRAW is out. I mean, (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

  Et In Arcadia Lego - Permanent Build Proposal Coolness
 
howD all, I've been pondering the reasons WHY collaborative builds never quite work and I beleive I have solved the problem, so I have a proposition and an invitation: 1) A multi-purpose space station composed of 'modules' (multi purpose allows for (...)
