 | | Modular Space MOC: Cargo Shunter
|
|
This evening I built a couple of Jake's (URL) containers>, and decided to build a little model to go with them. My first (completed) Space MOC in quite some time :^) Introducing the Cargo Shunter. It's the equivalent of a futuristic hover-forklift - (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

Hi Douglas, I went on BrickShelf to check it, it's a very nice P38 you designed. It is almost studless, SNOTed (MORVEd :-))everywhere. I especially like the use of the blue 1x3x12 slope on the sides. Among the contest entries, I think this is one of (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Yeah, I think you're right, but I was experimenting a bit. It actually looks OK from a distance. Maybe I'll try some of the "new" grey when I get some and see how it looks. If/When I rebuild it to put in landing gear, I will probably change (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) I go back and forth as to which one I like better. The larger one definitely has more detail and is probably more accurate to the "real thing". The canopy definitely looks more to scale with the larger model. I like the smaller one since it (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Tony, I really like this one. Cool design of the engines, looking pretty light, as the main body. It sure can go faster than bigger but much heavier ships!

Here is Allison Rosier in her ship, Grace: (4 URLs) I built the engines first and really liked them. But they sat around for quite a while before I built the rest of the ship. I had numerous false starts in that time until the ship seemed to build (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

(...) I agree that this is more of a container standard than a MB standard. I'm not sure Jeff was talking about modifying the MB standard at all. I think his point is that we should try to make the container standard conform to the MB airlock (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

(...) I don't see this as being an issue for the MoonBase. I see it being more necessary for a MB rail or track system, but even then it doesn't need to be "nailed down" like the MB corridors have to be. If the MB corridors don't line up, then (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)

I'd also say we include a short and long version of the containers, much like trains (or real-life intermodal) does. the containers I used (I think) are 8 studs long, so this could be the short (...)
