Though I never actually built it, I had a very cool dream about an M:Tron
base. It was on a 32x32 green baseplate. The back half of the plate was
covered in a wall of BURPs, and the front half had a forest of palm trees.
Behind the mountain of BURPs, there was a small hangar that let out a
miniature MCM. There was also a waterfall made completely of clear bricks that
went down the mountain and served as the window to the control center behind
it. The inside was kind of a control room done in MT colors. It was very cool,
but I have not been able to duplicate it to make it as cool as it was in the
dream.
