Hi all,

I'd like to present my new MOC (well, not exactly mine, since Shiri built it
with me.  Yes, you heard me right, Castle Dutchess is playing with spacemen).

This is a generic 4-hall module with a McDonald's, a LEGO costume shop, a
bathroom, an elevator, and a bus stop.  Highlights include the elevator and
airlock door mechanisms.  There's a little tour at

This walks you thru the entire module.

Some additional notes:

I'd like to get some kind of organized system of travel (like the current
monorail ideas), only with the MBTA (MoonBase Transit Authority).  i.e., bus
stops.  I'm in the process of LDrawing the bus and making instructions so
others can build them and have bus stops around the base.  I'd really like
feedback on this idea - it'd be really cool if we could do something like this.

PLUKWYT!

P.S. - Jon, stick this on classic-space.com - it'll definitely be at BF '03!

Way cool. LOTS of great touches. Very detail dense. Bigger is not always better!

Is it just me or has this idea caught on faster and stronger than any other
idea ever posted here? Up till now, the 1592 variations had that honor I
think, but the modules are flying fast and furious (well, they don't FLY,
they are modules but you know what I mean) and getting better and better!!!!

(...) I would attribute it to the fact that just about anybody can build one. Heck, even Shiri :-) Also, we spaceheads finally have a simple standard to follow. Other than the square 48*n x 48*n footprint and position of the easy to build (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks Lar. (...) Yeah, it's quite a thing, isn't it? Hopefully most of these modules end up at Brickfest so we can see what we get when we slap em all together. -Chris (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Besides what Jude said (anyone can build one), I think the 48x48 footprint is helping speed the process because it limits the more advanced builders. Before, you'd get started on a project, and keep building, and making it bigger, and adding (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
