About a decade after WW3 …
link Are there any clear images of what the buildings looked like in ST First Contact, particularly the bar? How big was that building, do you think? Thanks, Dan TMP link TMP link TMP link TMP link TMP link |

I have looked and looked, and have finally found a few additional pics this evening. QUESTION: Does this type of corrugated metal building have a specific name (can't be a Nissen or Quonset hut), and is it a commercially available structure? It almost looks like the top half of a gambrel barn.

Had it confirmed by one of you guys offline. The bar structure is basically a roof called a "gambrel":
link Except that the entire bar structure is simply a free standing gambrel roof, with appropriate support beams:

link And it had clear glass (or plastic) windows along the top of the corrugated metal structure:
link I hope this info is of use to others and not just me. Dan |

From a rough guesstimate based on human size: 24' deep 15' to lower edge roof, 21' roof height 30' across. Regards MMG. I suppose someone will want me to fudge up a design based on this. |

hmm fudge, oh and a new terrain piece would be good too ;) |

Done some more accurate measuring, assuming humans are around 200cm tall: 18-20' deep 12' to lower edge roof, 16' roof height 30' across. Will have a go at doing a similar inspired by design, if design plays out will do it in modular sections so can make deeper. Now need to get working on that 28mm monorail. |

Something like this:
Is around 13 x 11 x 6cm, will be sold in packs of 2 with some furniture. This is larger than figure above, but will do a shorter version (around 7.9cm Deep) Regards MMG. |

For price was thinking around £9.00 GBP for 2, may alter price a bit after doing first cut. This pack would also include: 10 x 12mm round tables, 20+ chairs – have used the dining chairs but may do some as stools. 6-8 bar stools, 1 bar with couple of cupboards, 6 x 30mm benches, 1 x raised podium. Regards. MMG. |
