Description

Rehearsing for spaceflight

The set shows a facility where astronauts practise working in space. It comes from the Space Port line, which brought spaceflight into the world of the city instead of sending it off to distant galaxies. At 249 pieces the station is a compact model that can be built quickly. Three minifigures are enough to place instructors and trainees, which makes it a good basis for little stories about launches and landings. Because the station is a training site, you can tell missions without any rocket at all: a test, an alarm or a visit is reason enough.

White, grey and neon green

White, light grey and black give the model the sober look of a technical installation. Trans-neon green adds a splash of colour reminiscent of screens or signal lights. The part variety is notable: 102 different part types in just 249 pieces means many elements appear only once or rarely. This makes for a detailed model, but a used copy is more prone to gaps, so a careful comparison with the list is worthwhile.

Displaying it with other space sets

The light colour scheme and technical details sit well beside other space models from the late nineties. As a play set the station works just as well as a backdrop for a bigger spaceport scene. Town collectors value it because it links space with everyday city life. The build is varied, since many different special parts are used, but it stays manageable for newcomers. Because of the transparent parts, it is worth handling them carefully during the build and avoiding fingerprints.

What else the parts can make

Once the station is in your collection, “What can I build?” on Bricoria shows which other sets your parts could produce. The many special elements in particular raise the chance that certain small pieces are needed in other models. This page has the full list with colours and quantities, so you can plan exactly what you need for additions or conversions.
