Here’s a standard I came up with for a Moonbase module based on an 8x8 stud
platform. You can fit four of these on every 16x16 stud baseplate...or 16 on a
32...or 36 modules on a 48x48! Imagine the sizes the Moonbase could approach on
just a few baseplates. Nanofig spaceports with nanofig starships could be
surrounded by housing projects, factory districts, and more.
Anyway, here’s the standard I propose:
As you can see, the baseplate is 8x8 studs, using either an 8x8 plate, two 4x8
plates, a 6x8 and a 2x8, or whatever. The corridor is formed by a “pin jointer”
piece, or alternatively by a stack of 1x1 round plates and/or bricks 5 studs
high. Only one such piece is required for each pair of connecting modules. The
corridor height is one brick and one plate above the baseplate level. You
should try to leave a 1 stud border around the edge so modules don’t run into
each other.
Here are a couple example modules:
I’m sure we could expand on this and create upper story connectors too.
Please LMKWYT!

| (...) Excellent, that's perfect. I don't like the idea of having a ton of standards though. I'm thinking minifig, and microfig, and that be it. Of course, you could make larger modules, 8x8, 8x16, 16x16, etc. As long as your connectors are centered (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.org.scibrick, FTX)
