So I've been wanting a space station playset/diorama for my 1/18 scale action figures and did a lookup a few months back on some space related action figures playset and came across the STARCOM line and saw the Starcom Starbase Station and thought it would be cool to get for my figures only to realize they are not the same scale, the Starcom figures are way too small, so you know me, I just do what I want, so I built one...in 1/18 Scale, here's the results and has been repurposed as a REBEL RESUPPLY STATION...It's 3 feet in length and the platforms elevate like the original toy, features include laser weapons that can traverse and elevate, elevator lift that can go up and down and has the MAGNALOCK feature, computer control station which also has the MAGNALOCK feature and tilting computer monitors, triple fuel storage station, manned rotating gun station that can be moved to three different areas on the station or be totally removed and attached on top of stand as a separate landing defensive position.

Thanks Starchaser, believe it or not, it started with a plastic milk crate and built it from there with a lot of greebles (vcr parts, vitamin bottles, markers, plastic hangers, so many to list)

That's pretty awesome! A great deal of creativity went into developing the station. It looks fantastic.

If I had to start a new collection I'd go back to Starcom! Loved those as a kid. Such awesome designs and engineering.

Thanks Starchaser, I used up a lot of greeblies I had laying around on this one, had to do a lot of planning and measuring, glad it all came together with no issues.

Yes the designs and engineering were awesome, my only gripe was it wasn't 3 3/4" compatible.
