 | | Announcing : The Second Annual Tim and Kevin's Bot Contest!
|
| It's that time of year again! Tim Deering and Kevin Blocksidge are once again hosting the rocking-est contest ever held throughout space and time forever in all eternity! If you think that the phrase "once again" makes that sentence make no sense (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, FTX) !
| | | | | MOC Cards are GREAT!! was Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) Yes, Larry understands me well. And actually, there is a bit of information about HOW to fill out your MOC card for Moonbase modules in the original announcements that would also help out. MOC Cards are AWESOME!!! -Lenny (20 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) Translation: Fill out the MOC Card form! That's how the coordinators know what's coming and how they can plan. Big OR small, every creation that shows up should have a MOC card in the system... it really really really helps a lot. (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) Exactly my idea Bruce. Also, people can contribute by bringing maintainence crews, etc. I'd love to see a bunch of little maintainence rovers and whatnot. Stuff like that would be in the running for Best Detail - we want to see small stuff (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

|
| (...) Actually, from this (URL) it looks like it was 2x2. 4x4 is pretty darn huge - that would be 60 inches x 60 inches - or 5ft by 5ft. That would be great. If something that big just happens to show up at fest, Dan and I will make whatever changes (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) 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.

| | | | | Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

| Awesome post. Thank you! Added to the sidebar -[build.mecha]- under "Mech Expo". e (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest)

| (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Space! at BrickFest 2005
|
| (...) 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) (...)

| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| (...) Thanks for the comments Tony! The canopy doesn't open unfortunately.. It once had hinges, but it just didn't look right. It always was a plate to high.. I will add guns (maybe lots of them) as soon as I can invent an interesting design in the (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Thanks JP! (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| (...) Thanks a lot Kyle! The reason for the upside down studs in the nose is that I simply did not have enough inverted slopes to do the underside of the nose, and not enough dark gray slopes to do the to of the nose either. So, I simply inverted a (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| Thanks! You're right, it actually resembles a colonial viper, though that's totally without my intention. This ship doesn't look as fast as the viper IMHO, but it looks a bit beefier - and possibly harder to shot down.. =) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.space)

| Space! at BrickFest 2005 Dan Rubin and Lenny Hoffman are the Space theme coordinators. Jon Palmer is helping with planning for the Moonbase, and Jeff Stembel is handling all things Mecha.

| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| (...) Wonderful SNOTwork on the nose. Nice wingtips and color scheme. And the greebling- excellent, especially on the engines! It looks like the canopy doesn't open... or did you work in an ingenious way to hide the hinges? I'm always on the lookout (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| Very groovy! It's got a more muscled, bigger brother of the Colonial Viper feel. Great SNOT work on the nose and the color scheme is well-balanced. Dave S. "Mark" <markwms@covad.net> wrote in message news:IHBEou.1rDz@lugnet.com... (...) (URL) (...) (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.space)

| I like it, the upside down studs, the stand, the engine pods, etc. If it's unarmed, then what are the two trans blue bits underneath it's wings? --Kyle (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| Very nice fighter (without weapons, that's certainly a first!), maybe the overall shape is not so inovative, but the way you made it smooth is really well done. JP. (20 years ago, 31-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Praetor Nova
|
| (...) wow, that is one hawt ship. I love it! It's swoopy, has great use of SNOT, and a great color scheme. Excellent job. -mark (20 years ago, 30-May-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
