Set Up Base In Micro Art Studios’ Infinity Habitat Station & Tower
September 8, 2015 by brennon
Micro Art Studios have two new terrain pieces to their webstore in the Designed For Infinity range. The Habitat Station and Habitat Tower both fit together to become one piece but they can also exist separately if you so desire.
Habitat Station
The Habitat Station comes as one piece of hardfoam terrain and while unpainted it's good to have something that could almost instantly sit on your tabletop with maybe even just a cursory going over with an airbrush.
Of course this doesn't offer the same level of play-space that you might expect from Infinity terrain since you can't get inside it but it does give you a nice piece of cover terrain with options for clambering on top of it.
Habitat Tower
The Habitat Tower is a slightly different beast because while it is a standard hardfoam terrain piece it also has some HDF elements which affix to it.
The tower has many levels but I imagine the most use you would get here is to use it as a snipers perch. You could say that one side of the building can be scaled allowing a sniper to clamber on top. The other big thing is that the tower has no cover on the top of it so a sniper could still be vulnerable.
Habitat Block
When combined this is what you get when you stack a few of the Tower sections on top of each other...
So, when assembled you're getting a rather large structure that could act as a focal point on your tabletop. Considering this is just two big pieces of hardfoam (maybe more) and some additional HDF elements this is a fairly impressive terrain set which could give you a cityscape very quickly.
What do you think?

Saw this stuff at the interplanetary in Spain . painted different. Both look good and was one if the bits that court my eye.
They actually look great for Robotech/Macross also! I like they are so generic that they can fit in any hi-sci-fi urban diorama.
It’s all too expensive. Great but pricey
It’s incredible stuff. Perfect for games clubs, where everyone can chip in.
looks awesome…
that;s a clever idea for making lot’s of different size buildings 🙂
Wow. I love that!
Nice paint it Gray/black would be good for a blade runner type game?
Not too much warring in Bladerunner but I’d wet me kecks if it ever appeared at 28mm!
that’s a surprise.
I bought the tower a couple weeks back on ebay. Could not find any more of it listed, went to Micro’s website and could not find it there either. Went again tonight and still can not find it except by the link you guys provided. It makes me wonder. I don’t order from them because the shipping is just ridiculous but if “The War Store” has it or I can find it again on ebay I’ll get more. I’m trying to figure out a way to place troops inside without ruining the foam, should be fairly easy. I like it… Read more »
I got me one immediately when there was some sort of accidental pre-release at a german webshop. I have a photo of a painted version together with some other MAS scenery for size comparison on my blog: https://evertrocks.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/painting-uniform-color-schemes/
Hardfoam. Can this be spray painted with an Aerosol or will it melt?
