First off, we have the 3rd floor lobby for the
Moonbase, as well as many of the rooms we
had last year. We are going to make the Moonbase thinner and longer, so that modules aren’t buried on the inside,
also this will give us a chance to do some interesting creative details.
This also means we will need more
endcaps.
|
With the moonbase longer and thinner, spread out in the lobby, it should look
really great. A suggestion though, to help avoid the “crowding” of last year,
why not add more blank plates, and more simple corridors. Generally (but not
always) when somebody builds on a single 48x48 baseplate, they tend to build
upwards very quickly. This can block out the modules that are behind one
another.
|
Along with the thinness, we are also going to arrange modules so that tall ones
are behind the short ones. The display is going to be ~3 modules wide, so it
would work like Tall-Medium-Short. This should give equal viewing access to all
of the modules.
Also, SciBrick has extra 48x48 baseplates that will be at BrickFest to help, to
help people who don’t have baseplates of their own (they are kinda expensive)
and to fill in gaps where needed.

I know simple corridor modules aren’t as fun to build or
show off the full extent of ones creative abilities, but spreading out the
whole display will make everyones modules look better. And the blank
baseplates will provide more room for roaming space vehicles.
|
I, if I have the time, am going to be building basic connection corridors. I
don’t have the space for a full-on module, so I figure this will help out as
best as possible.
An idea I have is to build a shipyard for fighters and shuttles to land. It
would be a plain baseplate with tiles and lights on it, and I would provide
refueling and maintainence crews. I think this will add to the life of the
moonbase and make for a more interesting/dynamic display. It will also give
some ‘blank space’ between modules that you are describing.
Thanks for the ideas!

| (...) Thanks for the response. Just to be devil's advocate, what if another BlackTron Intelligence Agency super module comes along? It was about 4x4 baseplates I think... (I only wish I had that many bricks...) I'm sure somebody out there right now (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

| (...) Hey Lenny, That's a great idea. Interspersing some "parking lot" spaces between the modules also makes it possible for a lot of people who can't bring full modules to participate in the layout by adding their small ships.
