"Alright, the container was a nice, solid bit of terrain. But I think we're all eager to get a look at the larger pieces! So let's take a look at the Base-0 Habitat Unit 2 from Systema Gaming. As you can see there are quite a bunch more parts, three sheets to be exact, but even without instructions I had no trouble putting it together. Again, these are not complex constructions which help reinforce their utalitarian nature. The base plates (and the roof of the square building) are all constructed the same way with a number of girders underneath which lift them off the ground a bit and also allows you to stack them. Most of the the parts have only two sprue connecting points so come off quickly and they don't take a long time to clean up. Detailing is simple but decent enough. There is barely any interior detailing and these simply don't have the same level of detail as, say, the MicroArt buildings or the upcoming stuff from Antenociti but that really doesn't bother me all that much. The industrial design works and you could likely get a table full of Systema stuff before filling half with some more detailed alternatives

It's all kind of the same as other companies' products. Why not cover new ground? |

I think you have a good point. A lot of what we're seeing these days are fairly similar. Pre-fab colony style with pods, walkways, stairs and containers. Microart Studios is probably the one with the most unique stuff as they really try to go for the city vibe, which is something I'd like to see more of. However, I'm reviewing these on their own merit and for me the balance of looks, modularity and price is hard to beat. :) |

Well, I don't know many that do MDF buildings with removable roofs! I would buy the hexagonal unit, a few in fact, once they make them available for 15mm. Dan |
