This may have been available from the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry some years ago. Does anyone know where I can find it now or have one to sell? And do 30mm figs work with it? Thanks.

Judging by the surface structure of the model of the moon base and (!) of the moon vehicle docked to the base, on a picture with higher resolution, it could also be a 3d printed one-off. The museum is probably financed by the tax-payer.
You're probably a tax-payer.
So, just ask them, for the most part museum staff love to answer such question of interested people.

Aside from non-tax status, the MSI is not publicly funded. That looks like a diorama in the museum, seriously doubt it was a souvenir kit for sale. |

Probably cheaper to scratchbuild your own.

Easy to buy a plastic ball, or half-dome, and just scribe the lines on that. Tubes are a bit more challenging, due to the straight sides, but you could get some tubing, cut it in half, and then glue it to some straight sections if desired. I think I'd just go with tubular half-round tubing instead for a slightly different look, and ease of production, without the straight sides. |

I had the impression from the guy who posted the photo that he had purchased it. But…based on the above info, I'm probably wrong. |

I bet someone is printing 3D moon bases. |

These might serve as a proxy. I have a couple and they are very nice. link |

Brigade (IIRC) does UFO-style Moonbase domes. |

Black Site Studios has a pre painted American base, and a self print Soviet base. Great product, and stylistically close to your example. |

have you checked scotiagrendal 28mm sci-fi range. some of the unarmed domes might be suitable. |
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
