Never stop posting Nicole et al!

I know that at times it can seem like you post and nothing is returned but
the crickets, but I have found that often it is due to circumstances of the
moment.

I've found that around prime vacation time (beginning of summer, end of
summer etc.) and around larger events such as Brickfest that the posts grow
quiet for periods.

Also, when a long thread gets rolling, it has a tendency to bury those that
slipped in before it.  If it wasn't for your secondary note for instance, I
wouldn't have seen your posting.

Long and short of it:  lack of response doesn't mean your efforts aren't
noticed and appreciated.  The fact that much of your posted MOC's are a
family build makes them even more essential to the mix...that's really what
a community is all about!


As for the module itself, I really like the concept of the crashed ship
turned habitat.  An often discussed picturebook called 'SpaceWrecks' used
this premise on a few occasions within.  Turns creepy when the habitat is
found abandoned by the rescue party years later!

You've done a nice job of relaying this with the cockpit changed into the
corridor w/airlock.  I hope it is possible to amend the layout to fit the
norms so one day it can link up with others.

Above all else, never stop posting!

Cheers,
-Gil

I know that I/we aren't .space big wigs, but having no response at all from
ANYBODY makes me think that we're not wanted. For people wanting
to get in on the space scene this is VERY distressing. Anyway here it goes
AGAIN!

These images are of the repaired and now conforming to standards
Arcane Family home Module.

<snipped all>
After a lengthy explanation to a NLF (Non-Lego Friend) as to what a
plate, brick and stud were, she pointed out that both my extension
module and The Arcane Family home module were too  long and
didn't fit in the 48x48 profile! YIKES! So I re-worked the
Extension Module and the Arcane Family Home.
Both the Arcane Family Home and Extension Module are here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=23652
The reworked Extension Module has been re-photographed and new
pictures uploaded. The Arcane Family home will be done too after I
back from NYC on Friday (I'm taking our only camera with me).
Some sort of feedback would be nice.
