Continuing our theme of scaling items in our 15mm range down to 6mm (and vice-versa), today we’re releasing two new 6mm buildings<\/a> based on our 15mm Colony Base<\/a> set. The first of these is Sigma Base<\/a>, a moderately large octagonal layout consisting of six modules designed as a research station or living accommodation for a larger colony.<\/p>\n

\"B300-300\"<\/p>\n

The other building in this release is the Small Outpost<\/a>, which is a remote colony unit for 2-3 scientists. It consists of an accommodation module with airlock plus a vehicle garage. It’s designed as a remote monitoring station or maybe living quarters for a maintenance team in some isolated spot.<\/p>\n

\"B300-303\"<\/p>\n

Unlike the 15mm versions, which come as separate units with metal connecting frames, we’ve decided to produce the 6mm equivalents as one-piece ready-assembled items which just need painting – we thought that it would be a bit fiddly mucking about with lots of little resin modules and tiny metal connector pieces.<\/p>\n
