Alien Avenger Base

I loved all the Space sets as a kid, and while ships and fighters are definitely more exciting, I always wondered why they never made a station for the UFO series.

So I found the instructions for the Alien Avenger set I used to have, and built what I would’ve loved to see back then:

A docking station for the Alien Avenger that serves as a small alien outpost on its own, with relay station, cargo bay, and two defense towers. The original Avenger fits snugly into the base (even the hatch for the tiny rover gets an extension all the way to the ground), turning the outpost into a fortress. The four corners are removable for easy access, and there is a Defender extension (not pictured, but it’s a round 4x4 on a 4x4 turntable) that lifts the ship up just enough to smoothly rotate 360°.

So if anyone still has an Alien Avenger at home (and a bunch of extra UFO blocks), I think this might be buildable. It’s over 700 pieces, but should look awesome in real life with the ship on top.
