Set 007 comes with the following accessories: -
  • 1x Crane with exchangeable hook parts and container pickup,

  • 1x Deck Operator figure
Both figures, however, are a bit too big and only suitable for PG (1/60 scaled) kits.

  • 1x Mechanical Arm,
  • 1x Soldering Machine that can be mounted on the mechanical arm,

  • 1x Flight Operator figure
Same as set 007, the figure is a bit too big and only suitable for PG (1/60 scaled) kits.

Set 009 comes with the following accessories: -
  • 1x Elevating Working Cage, 
  • 1x Sport Light Unit (square light),

  • 1x Large Working Hand that can be mounted on the mechanical arm,
  • 1x Deck Operator figure
Same as the rest, the figure is a bit too big and only suitable for PG (1/60 scaled) kits. All 4 fingers on the Large Working Hand are individually moveable ;)















Section 5: Interaction with Set 004 | 005 | 006

I'm not going to talk about the normal 1x1 since it is just as simple as fixing the wall tile on top of the floor tile :P Instead, I am going straight to "chain" with set 004.


007 on the left, 004 on the right.


Breaking off 007.


Fixing 007 Wall tile onto 004 Floor tile.


Fixing a Pillar onto 004 Floor


Fixing respective Coping Parts on top of 007 Wall.

with LBX, HG and MG :)







Section 6: 2 Units, 2x1






Section 7: 4 Units, 2x2







Section 8: 4 Units, 2x1, 2 Floors

This is the specialty of set 007 | 008 | 009 | 010 :) This configuration is excellent for LBX kits or normal HG that are about 12~14 CM.











Quick Review

I am very impress by this new series of mechanical chain base. The plastic quality and molding is better compare to the previously release 001 - 006, and all parts fix together nicely without any issue. Overall, they are close to 97% of the original.

Not much more I can say as you can check out all the pictures with your own eyes :) Call me cheapskate, but instead of spending my money on the original, I strongly recommend this alternative if you can get on hand on them :P


Fin ;)
