I was rebuilding a 493 Space Command Center I thought was in a collection I
bought when I noticed that the catalog picture (on LUGNET) and directions (on
Brickshelf) are slightly different.

The catalog picture uses a crater baseplate, whereas the instructions uses a
flat baseplate and has the builder create two craters out of grey slopes and
bricks. The building is also in a different position. Strange.
My guesses:
- They took the catalog picture before finalizing the set
- They changed the set after they started producing it
Anyone have any info? Anyone have an instruction booklet that matches the
catalog scan?
