Triang SpaceX Moon Base HQ - Pt 2 M.B.1 Living Quarters

Triang's SpaceX Moon Base has four modules:

M.B.1 Living Quarters
M.B.2 Recreation Centre
M.B.3 Control Centre
M.B.4 Vehicle Depot

Of course, being a toy, the modules are 'selectively compressed' meaning that the most rcognizable or definable portions of the full-sized design have been used in a scaled down version. Each module is recognizable for what it is but is smaller in proportion to the original design. Triang's living quarters are really well thought out having two bunkbeds with a wall separating them from the dayroom which has a pool table, TV, sofa, and locker. Ya know, I get that the pool table would be a welcome earth past time but hmmmm, I kind of wonder how the pool balls would act under low gravity when given a good whack with the pool cue!!?? Each of the four modules has separately applied splayed footings or supports which, unfortunately, are easily lost or broken. The clear domes are removable for placement of astronauts within the modules. The modules are 4.25" (10.79cm) L overall while the pod itself is 2 1/8" (5.39cm) W x 2 1/2" (6.35cm) H. With splayed legs the width is 2 5/8" (6.66cm) W. Enjoy! Opa Fritz



The attachment port for the hub is below floor level making this essentially a two-story module.













The holes in the floor enable precise placement of the accessories and while the placement can be changed to suit your needs everything in the posts have been set up per the instructions
