Following on from my earlier Blue Moon post, Ed from Vegas Base has reminded me of the other extant moon base, which was supplied with the Golden Astronaut Super Set. This was a much simpler, purple toned version which Ed reports has a lot more flat craters, giving kids the opportunity to stand figures and vehicles more successfully, as opposed to the rugged terrain of the Tri-ang version.
You can read more about this rare set and its European variants at Paul Vreede's exhaustive site which covers the history of the line, here:

Addendum. Just looking through some old pics and realised there's yet another Moonbase!
A really simple, saucer sized one from the fiddly winks based game, 'Moonshot'
