I was going to wait for Chris Giddens to get home from vacation but I just
finished this page on his site (and I'm impatient) so I thought I'd unveil
it:

building standard. Also, thanks to:

i really like the idea of end-caps for unused corridors. (bases in remote locations on earth do the same thing. they build corridors w/ future expansion in mind, and then don't use them until the expansion is actually built) also, having been at the (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

Hi all, This sounds like a really fun idea. Castle did something similar at Brickfest, and it sounded fun from the discussion and pictures (I wasn't able to go :( oh well, next time). I know that 48x48 is more available in gray now, but when I think (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) This looks like it can be quite the fun project to join in on (if I can ever get to Brickfest). What about airlock connections to say, a docked spaceship. Will those be different that the module connections? -alex (22 years ago, 27-Jul-02, to lugnet.space)
