space base contest

[snefroe]

thought i'd show you guys this is as well

it's a contest based on the well known moonbase system the guys over at lugnet - space came up with a while back; the base is essentially a collection of modules, which are quite different from each other , but they're all linked to each other in the same way.

since then several others have built their own modules that would fit to moonbase. now it seems the guys at lego decided to create a contest for themselves, but they need your vote!

there's also a discussion over at classic space it seems...

as a space fan in general, i'd go for the 'command and defence', however, it doesn't look like a real model;

i like the fourth model a lot! it's very originel , but probably not the best module for a moonbase...

then there's the ice planet module, even though the guys look like ice planet disguised sw pilots! it would be nice for a set, however!!

They're all so cool, thanks for showing these! I'm torn between the Ice Planet one and the defense base one @_@

Any idea where he got that large trans-orange canopy from?

i'm guessing here, but:

When we were in Windsor for the EB event, we were allowed to go and have a look around in the employee's pick a brick. jon pointed out the transparent parts for me that he found in a box below the shelves. There were all sorts of transparent coloured windscreens, most of them the well known trans orange windows of Ice-planet. In general, there were several pieces in specific colours that were never taken in production for whatever reason.

So i guess the guys went down their special pab in Billund, had a look around to see what interesting parts were there, and this particular guy found the box with transparent parts... with the unique, never produced trans-orange dome.
