Chris & Shiri,

This is really fantastic.  The details and innovations are supberb, but I
think what endears it to me most is that it gives the same feeling of fun
that following the adventures of the first minifig Idea Book did (the one
with the circus, then off to space etc...early '83?).  The set really tells
a story of nothing but pure, innocent fun.

Thanks for this.

Cheers,
-Gil

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!

-Chris and Shiri

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

(...) Thanks Gil. With every "major" creation of mine, I try to add something to it that would otherwise be lost in just pictures. I like telling a story; it really adds something to the MOC. -Chris (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
