Description

A base for marine research

A station is where researchers plan, analyse and set off on dives. This set brings exactly that idea to the divers line: it is less a single vehicle than a location where plenty can happen. At 328 pieces it is mid-sized, so the build stays manageable while the finished model still has enough room to hold equipment, figures and small details, and you do not need extra sets to make it feel busy. The open layout also makes it easy to reach in and move things around.

Technical colours, lots of special parts

Black, light grey, white and blue dominate the picture. It looks matter-of-fact and technical, fitting for a laboratory and research gear, while the blue calls to mind the sea. What stands out is the number of different parts: 142 distinct elements among 328 pieces means many of them appear only rarely. For collectors and free builders that is a bonus, since such single parts are very handy later for details, machines and small buildings.

Five figures for lab and dive

The five minifigures can be spread between station, boat and seabed. You can have researchers working in the lab while others dive, or stage an emergency in which the station has to organise help. The roles are not fixed, so it is up to you which story develops. If you own other sets from the divers line, you can combine the crews easily, which gives the scene more depth and means there is always someone needed on board or in the water.

Check it and reuse it

On this page you will find the complete parts list with colour and quantity for each element, so you can check a second-hand set. If you no longer have the station built, “What can I build?” helps: it shows which models your bricks can make. The light and dark basic colours also go with town, space and polar sets, so the pieces rarely sit idle in your collection. The rarer single parts in particular are worth a closer look.
