Of course I had to use a lot of Technic pieces and add motorization ;-) It
has two lifts and a big door that are remotely controlled (using 4-channel

I built this module for our recent TexLUG meeting
(http://www.texlug.org/spring2003/index.html). There were a total of 9
modules in our layout, built by 8 different people. The previous link has
descriptions and pictures of the meeting.

I don't think I've ruined my interest in Technic/Model Team themed MOCs, but
I did this just for fun. And it really was a lot of fun! It brought back a
lot of memories from my childhood when I played with LEGO space sets.

Nifty!  The support columns are really a marvel of engineering.  I'd love to
see more mechanized moonbase modules. Welcome back to space.  Once the claws
are in you, you won't be able to escape.
