Brilliant.
Great original story and some very nice photography. Creates a great mood.
Creepy space sci-fi like 2001. Very nice constructions. And some of the
best “interior” photos I’ve ever seen for a space MOC. Great sense of humor.

Thanks. I’ve always admired your skill with minifig scenes. My interior shots
benefited from some experiments I did with shadows a while back. The shadows are

I *liked* the pacing--I think it works well, so long as the viewer is on a

I didn’t want to reveal the creature too soon in the show. I was building up
plausibility for the scenario, making the audience food for the creature, just
like the moonbase crew. You want a cinnamon bun, don’t you. Stale moon muffin?
Blech. :-) And of course the exterior scenes are in “lunar slow motion”.

I kind of like the open-ended ending--or is it obvious what’s going to happen
and I’m missing it? I assumed the thing coming through the viewport toward
the end was some sort of egg--that it was reproducing. Yikes, maybe it was
going to mate!

Ah, the ovipositor. You missed the Explorovore thread that explains the
exobiology.
