Hi, I was wondering extra compartments that hold the Mobat & Vamp on the '83 Headquarters can be added on to a complete Headquarters? I'm interested in expanding an HQ to hold several tanks and Vamps/AWE Strikers and make it much wider than the basic one, but just wondering what it would look like, if the compartments fit nicely or if it will leave gaps that are too big.

There will be gaps,but not huge ones.A little styrene or even card or etc......you could make it work - I think.

Yes you could . The front walls slope slightly so the rear sections would line up straight though.

This is what I do with the 2 I have. Like some have said, there are gaps but it still looks cool. It would work better if you cut the little tabs off.

Here are some pics of an extension I did a few years ago -
To avoid gaps, I cut off the part at the very bottom of the outside of the side pieces where it flares out. (note: the screws that can be seen in some of the sections - are NOT part of extending the HQ. Those screws are there from back in 1983 or 1984 when I reinforced the HQ so that when the kids played with it, it wouldn't keep falling apart :-) |

What would be really awesome would be to take more pieces and put them the other way along the back to make a fully enclosed "building". I never liked the open back of the original hq.

even cooler is when you take the OP's idea and add to it by stacking another HQ on top. You can modify the bottom center piece to extend out abut, and make it look more like in the cartoon. I did it once, but I didn't take pics. Now all my stuff is in storage, or I would do it again.

That thought has occured to me as well. As soon as I'm done restoring my original HQ, I plan on getting at least one more. Might have to give several of these ideas a try.
