kritch Posted August 13, 2016 A self contained Research Base, built on a planet in the cold icy depths of space. The first floor houses the main access airlock and the lab and bio-dome where the scientists carry out all their experiments. The second floor houses the habitation block, with bunk beds, a kitchenette and toilet facilities.The third floor has a store and laundry and a second airlock allowing roof access.The roof contains all the communication equipment and an observation (or angry) dome. Larger pictures of the interior are on my flickr page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missing Brick Posted August 13, 2016 Really great design and packed with great details and play features. I like the realistic layout with airlocks and ladders between all the floors. Very cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted August 13, 2016 It's a little blocky on the outside but I love the greenhouse, the ladder and the little hose snaking up 1 of the legs of the research station. The roof is nice, too. The airlock is nicely designed and your interior, which you've made very easily accessible, has nice details and greebles. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted August 13, 2016 I like the terrain on the bottom and how it opens from the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polarstein Posted August 13, 2016 Oh, very cool, I like the details, bio dome and the airlocks in particular. I can see that you put a lot of thought into the logic of the building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted August 13, 2016 This looks so cool! Industrial design meets classic space - and it just works and has this feel of something real and actually working. Wonderful! Also bonus points for making the back fold open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littleworlds Posted August 14, 2016 Cute little base, especially the greenhouse part - it's wonderful! I think its actually a bluehouse But lovely indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickShady Posted August 14, 2016 Oh, my bad! Anyway, great MOC with much attention paid to small details, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kritch Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks everyone. I'm glad you like it. It's a little blocky on the outside Industrial design meets classic space Yeh, I think the architects of classic space have taken inspiration for 1970's Brutalist achitecture I think its actually a bluehouse Nice.

davidroberts01341 Posted August 15, 2016 I like how the smooth and fairly plain exterior contrasts with the interior, which is packed with playable details. I also like that this model looks as though it would be fun to play with: a source of all sorts of stories and adventures. Nice to see a working airlock on a space station too. The spacemen of my youth (1970s & 1980s) had to work outside and probably never got to take their spacesuits off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattGee Posted November 22, 2016 Great inspiration. Hard to see on my phone but is this old grey or newer light bluish grey? Cheers for the lovely photos. I think this will inspire my winter MOC build but I shall have to use only trans yellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chroma cube Posted December 18, 2016 Great job, I like that there is windows on every level to let in whatever light may be on that planet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted December 21, 2016 I like all the textures and functional detail you put into this. It looks a little cramped and many remote research bases are built this way so, it's more realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted December 21, 2016 Love the snow accumulating along the legs and the greenhouse. Nice full interior too! Really well made and has a ton of great detailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted December 22, 2016 Very cool. So much stuff in such a small space. I like how you used the old big trans-blue piece for the greenhouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
