Unfortunately I had to open up one of the packages in my used-to-be mint set :-) I needed the legs and to verify the figures which came with the set. The last module is basically the garage for whatever vehicle our intrepid Moon explorers need to park in it. However there's a catch - not every vehicle Triang made is suitable for this module! Read on to see the results. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
This is the module which conatins the package of legs and figures
Four white and two gold figures in 20mm. This came as a surprise to me because the figures which came with all the other Triang/Golden Astronaut sets are 25mm! My package also included one extra support which I badly needed to photograph two complete set-ups
One end has an opening hatch - or garage door. With the depot floor as low as it is to accomodate a vehicle this is not a two-story module per se.
Triang really didn't make a lot of vehicles. The Forklift and Mobile Moon HQ obviously wouldn't fit in this, and the Cricket (shown below) is too long - the door won't close.
The MEV-2 looks like it fits...
...but the reality is the wheelbase is too wide and wouldn't allow it to actually roll inside. You have to take off the clear dome and place the MEV inside in order for it to work.
The Tractor T-5/Terrain Tiger is the only vehicle which fits without any problems
