OK, it's 1:800 scale but in the future, who's to say you can't make a small nuclear power station?

Aliens.  Reactor core.  Marines. 

When you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherf****** in the room, accept no substitute.

British Energy puts this on their own site?

In America, I thing even the google images of a Nuclear power station is forbidden.

It's very cool though....would make for a great gaming table!

Looks good but scaled up four times it would be 2m x 1.60m x 36 cm and it would still be about four times too small for miniatures, and without the proper textures it's hardly more than a collection of boxes :(

It always worries me how crude and old-fashioned our nuclear power stations look  :?

Maybe it's just my paranoia escaping again  lol

So, instead of scaling this up, look at the parts, and make a scratch-built 'gaming-version' with a smaller layout, but sized to fit your minis  ;)
