| | | I wanted to find a use for all those NBA floor sections I aquired after the latest round of clearance sales at Wally World. Assuming the 8x8x16 container standard the NBA floor sections are perfect. They are also 1 brick and one plate thick so add (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)

I remember seeing this when it first came out (very cool, by the way) and when I was playing around with the NBA container idea I started with the idea of using the 8x8x16 plates as sides as well. The problem was that with the sides (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

That story is hilarious and well worth pointing out again for those of us who missed it. And, it's nice to see (...) (20 years ago, 17-Apr-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Nice job, Mike. I think these are awesome ! If you don't mind, I'm going to ldraw your design and play with it a bit. The 8x8 version of these parts will make great half-size units and it looks like the holes in the center will let them lock (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)

I don't think a 1-plate high threshhold will annoy the moonbase denizens much : ) I'll try that on the 8x16's too. The (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)
