SilvaShado Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Hi all! I finally got pictures and a video posted up on flickr of the MOC my husband and I built for our club's layout for an event we did last November. Sadly, this MOC no longer exists, but will remain forever remembered in pictures and video. We don't normally build space MOCs, but our club was going to have a large sci-fi/Star Wars section on the layout and my husband wanted to play with motors, which he had never done before. So we decided to try our hand at building a motorize space MOC. After my husband figured out how to use the motor and what he wanted to do with it, we started building the base around the motor. The moving parts are the power generator under the blue domes and the communications array that spins. While he built most of the MOC, as usual, I came up with the story behind the MOC and did the detailing and chose the minifigures. B. I. MON Planetary Research Base Two researchers have landed on an uninhabited ice planet. They want to do research on the planet to see if life once existed. As they do their scans,with the aid of their trusty robots, they get odd signals from the snow mounds around the base. Setting up a rig, they begin to melt the snow and, to their surprise, they find an alien frozen solid. Much research lays before them as they are now faced with the puzzling question of how all these aliens were frozen intact. Here's the movie: http://www.flickr.co...157627140178439 Here's a few pictures: You can see the rest of the pictures on our flickr page. Please let me know what you think. Quote
Hoboman Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I think the base looks nice, but for some reason I really like the multi-armed robot in the last posted photo. I know it is a simple figure, but it is a fun one. Quote

I'm so jealous sometimes of his natural talent. Quote
Hollander Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I like this 'SilvaShado'! I see you've put some nice detail in this built, such as the frozen alien, the cannon and the space lab (I assume that's what it is, with the large blue windows). Good job! Quote

The space lab is actually just the power generator, but I like the idea of it being a space lab. Quote
Legostein Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Hello! A nice space station! It features several elements that remind me to the building style of classic space bases which I liked a lot. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
