A fun project on the side while doing a photoshoot of some Eva figures, finally assembling the 'Petit Eva - Welcome to NERV Base' minifigure set (that I hadn't even opened in 3 whole years). The full set is made up of 5 pieces: 1) Entrance and Escalator + Unit-00's Containtment area. 3) Entry Plug Simulator + Vending machines. 4) Unit-00's cage + Infirmary. 5) Central Dogma with Lilith inside impaled by the Longinus Spear. 6) Top of the Pyramid with Command Center. All pieces connect to each other, which can be transformed/closed into NERV HQ's Pyramid structure (for easy storage). Each piece has a moveable mechanism of a sort such as the Entry Plug Simulator door (open/closes), NERV HQ's mechanical stairs (platform goes up/down), or Unit-01's Entry Plug hatch (open/closes). Comes with several accessories: 5 minifigures (Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato and Gendo); Lilith with its very tiny Longinus Spear; an infirmary bed; the door for the Entry Plug Simulator; Unit-01's horn; the Command Center graphic display, and a small 'welcome to NERV' sign. This set took me years to find, precisely because each piece was sold separately but didn't want to risk not finding the missing ones, so had to patiently wait for a listing of the whole set. Since I have a weak spot for Lego and miniature sets (the Pokemon mini sets come to mind) this was one of my most wanted pieces of Evangelion merch ever; very happy I found it -and got to assemble it- at last! And here's a bonus: there's a secret watermelon garden under one of the pyramid's corners, wonder who it could belong to...
