Hello all,

I have played a bit with the Moonbase idea, and tried to find a smaller
size, more suitable for my puny Lego collection.

I designed each module on a 16x16 base, and the result can be seen here
(CAD-renderings):

(POVRay)

There are no details added, it's just a proof of concept yet.

With real Lego, I've built a corridor, one module and an air-lock (stair to
ground), and added some 'stickfigs' and a couple of micro-scale space ships.
Will add photo(s) later...

With this small scale, it's a bit more difficult to do variations, but at
least I have all the pieces needed for more than one module!
