TJ-
This is a beautiful creation. I like how you captured the Classic Space
schema. As Adrian stated, "The support columns are really a marvel of
engineering." Like Jeff, I too really like the use of the ball joint as the
bearing point, and as you said yourself "Blue Technic beams are perfect for
this"--best use I've seem them put to.
Your speeders are nifty...sleek and small. Maybe they will become a fad...?
Also, the motorized features just kick this Moonbase up a notch!
I look forward to more Space stuff from you.
