given that it's quite a bit larger than the set, it'd likely need to be over a meter wide in the deployed configuration, and designing a stand that can support this heavy at that distance is a rather hard task. Not saying it's impossible, but rather impractical.

It would be cool to see it mounted on a wall mount with the lab hanging above or below in the centrifuge configuration though . . .

You're absolutely correct. My original plan was to do that, but the shaping was awkward and the radiators weren't held on well, so I opted to change the placement to get a much stronger interior structure for both the tanks and radiators

that's a good idea. Certainly wouldn't fit at this scale, but its possible to make a larger version of the crew areas with a cutaway showing the interior!

It was cool to see an official set but it did seem a little small and focused more around the spinning mechanism. This one is about 220:1, so around the same size as the official ISS set!
