Skærbæk Fan Weekend/MOC Ideas, part II
The theme for Skærbæk Fan Weekend was announced a few days ago: Classic Space. I’m not a space guy, per se, but I did get inspired to try something… So I love mash-ups. I’ve seen a few space/castle mash-ups over the years. Some really successful, a few are so-so. Since I still had floating rock in the back of my mind as something to pack/take to SFW, I hadn’t 100% given up on the idea — don’t get me wrong, I do like the Mary Blair tribute mosaic, but the more I started to think about his mash-up, it resonated more with me.
I’ve got the base laid out and mostly built — it breaks down easy enough… I might need to buy some trans-neon-green bricks to make the sulfur lake. My only other thought would be, should I add lights underneath so the lake glows… Next would be the erupting sulfur pillars that suspend these rock formations in the air… Figured one rock would be living quarters, the second would be the mining operations/storage… a gangplank to to move the cargo over to a landing/launch pad, where the cargo will be shipped off… Figured a small moonbase type corridor between living quarters and the mining operations… A little unsure of a rocket for cargo, or some type of drop-ship… Transportation between storage and the drop-ship might be a small specialized vehicle or some type of hover forklift…
I’ve got a little bit of time to build and more time work through the details, as I’m working from home, being self-quarantined and all…
