[Alt-Build Contest] 60346 Barn & Farm Animals - Red Island Refuge

[Clone OPatra]

In honour of the alt-build contest we have going at the moment, I've done an alt-build of 60346 Barn & Farm Animals, which is about on my MOC-building level.

I'm calling it Red Island Refuge since it's like a lonely little outpost on a distant red planet, but cozy inside.

As you can see it's got a datapad for entry and sideways entry doors. There's a ladder on the side to get up to the air treatment equipment on the roof.

There's a nice big window on the back so the inhabitants can get some natural light and see their surroundings.

While the ground of the planet is too inhospitable to life, they've managed to engineer soil and water on the side of the building.

Inside there are (almost) all the amenities one needs: a bed, sink, toilet, places to keep tools and a crate for the food they grow. No spacesuits for exploring the planet unfortunately, but I was limited by what's included in the set.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks! I'm not much of a builder but I was pleased with how the front came out, though the rest looks a bit blocky and mismatched.

I agree with @ILoveSeatron - it does look nice, especially considering the limited amount of parts.

It's a good start. The more you build and the less you make self-depreciating comments, the better you get!

Nice, very clever!
