Nice and compact. The only thing i would have changed with this set is the baseplate. I do like that it is black. However, it&#8217;s strange shape doesn&#8217;t make it easy to connect additional cryo tube sets easily without having raised and lower portions as well as angles sticking out. That&#8217;s fairly minor though as I see this as mostly a one-purchase buy and not a multi purchase.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7649\" alt=\"UNSC Cryo Bay extras\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras.jpg\" width=\"1071\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras.jpg 1071w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras-600x302.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UNSC-Cryo-Bay-extras-500x252.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAbove are the few extra pieces and below is the set with those pieces added and a slight reconfiguration.
