I’ll take the credit/blame for the space room. We had a limited space that
had to allow for the public day (I was thinkin upwards of 800 would be
through and it was twice that). I had wished we could have had a more open
design... but in the end a borin’ ol rectangle ruled the day. Due to our
larger modules (a plus if you ask me) we had to set the width as it was. I’m
sorry there was a “jumbled look” to the base, but there again there is an
open ended design to the moonbase project. No module looks like another and
each is a story into itself. We can change that and make each module a
certain size and certain range of colors if you all like. On the issue of
monorail, that’s my fault because I didn’t call for it. I assumed one might
be coming. Jon’s the real moonbase transport expert and we missed his design
sense on the base.
On the other hand, I personally thought the moonbase was groovy and had some
very cool additions. The layout was at least 5 plates wide x 16 plates long.
(at last count... I do believe it was up to 18 long thanks to Viagra and a
couple of late additions.) Modules were so impresive and many had lots of
playablity that really had the kids attention (as well as some adults :-D )
Thanks to Eric for bringing some extra baseplates that were given to
us(thanks to those who donated them) Thanks to all who participated and all
who came by to view. It’ll be mo betta next time!

As the first moonbase I’ve ever seen in person, I found it most impressive.
Chris, Nick K, Blacktron Dude, Dan Rabin and many others contributed some sweet
modules, not to mention the chess-module, with amazing greebling between each
square.
The moonbase, like basically everything at fest, caused me to have an intense
desire to go home and build. I am glad that I had thought ahead and bought a
gray baseplate, I am sure I will make good use of it now.
To be honest, I didn’t notice any modules not connecting, but then again I am
blind and see by sonar.

P.S. Let’s see some Helmut the Helmet Guy figs!
