Hello! On the back cover of DSII, there's a nice Microtac cityscape - the same that was in the 1996 GZG catalogue. One of the buildings had a cylindrical tower with a squarish top (much wider than the tower itself). What is this? (Ie, I want one, what's the name of the piece? :-) Also, are there any pictures of the "small/medium general-purpose buildings" (MT-1 and MT-2) anywhere on the 'net (or in the DSII rules)? Later,

> Hello! The tower section is from the MT-37 add-on tower pack, and the top is the MT-35 Landing pad (also included in cityset pack 1) mounted on an inverted tower base section (also from MT-37 and in cityset pack 1). This method allows any top or intermediate module section to be mounted on a tower piece. > Also, are there any pictures of the "small/medium general-purpose Some of the MT 1 and 2 packs are used for the small "settlement" in the "beach assault" piccie in DSII (with the hovertanks making the amphibious landing) - sorry, don't have a copy to hand so can't give you the page no.

I have one tower base (looks like the one the tower stands on, it's visible on the picture) and one cylindrical tower with a cupola on the top, but apart from the general shape my tower doesn't look very much like the one on the picture and I don't see how to fit an inverted tower base on top of it (not without removing the cupola, which - considering the brittleness of the resin - I'm not quite sure if I dare to do)...? Looking at the pictures again, there is another sleek tower on the left-hand bridge building. This tower seems to "swell" towards the top, and has a knob on its end (Full Thrust, indeed ;-) which looks very similar to the cupola on the tower I have, but its base (visible in the DSII pictures) is the same as the tower carrying the MT-35 Landing Pad. Since my tower doesn't "swell", it seems like this left-hand tower in the picture is composed of two different tower sections - one lower, thinner (identical to the one carrying the landing pad) and one upper, thicker (identical to the one I have). Is this correct? > >Also, are there any pictures of the "small/medium general-purpose You don't have to :-) It's page 27. I suspected it was them, but I wasn't sure :-)

The one you have is supplied with the cityset pack, but the other bits (inc. the "knob" bit you mention) are only in the MT-37 add-on pack, along with an extra tower base. > Looking at the pictures again, there is another sleek tower on the Yes; see above. MT-37 consists of 4 different bits - a tower with dome as you have already, a cylindrical tower with flat end that can be used as an extension piece, and the "knob" tower top, plus one tower base plate. > >Also, are there any pictures of the "small/medium general-purpose Note the bigger building in this shot is the MT-30 barracks block.
