LL 926 / 928 Moonbase

To compensate for the lack of the classic lunar crater plates and landing plates, and to be more in line with the kind of large bases we see in large vehicle+base playsets these days, I based the ground installation that goes with the Galaxy Explorer on the 926 Moonbase instead of the small signal shack in the original 928 set. There's two brick built 16x16 crater plates, one of them with a flag planted on top and energy crystals buried beneath to dig for. The big building is the 926, the small utility box with the antenna on top is the signal shack from the 928. On the side it has a small cabinet to hold energy crystals, some simple storage tanks, and an electric vehicle charging cable for the lunar rover. The rover can pull a trailer, which can carry a large crate, which can hold two energy crystals. A small pipe bridge connects the small utility box with the big building. The big building has a ramp so the rover can drive up inside for the night, a ladder so the astronaut can climb on the roof, two small antennas (rather fragile, I'm afraid), a folding bed, lots of tools, and a big screen for doing important things. The front wall folds out and the roof lifts off for easy access to the interior.
