Does anyone know were I might find maps of a Mechanichus Temple or Research Instilation ... or anything which might serve in a pinch. I used to love drawing maps in my early days - but after a couple decades one begins to see the value in turning to other sources.

I appreciate the help.

I would suggest doing an image search for cathedral, mosque and temple floor plans. There are many that can be found online. Then block out where specific research is done and what large machines go where. You could link several of the floor plans together to make a single massive complex or outpost.

Also, there used to be a Traveller deckplan for a ring shaped research station. The maps for the inside of the station were excellent. It may be possible to track those plans down as well.

With the superstition that runs rampant in Imperium just about anything can be used as the basis of a Mechanicum or Ministorium Temple. IIRC there was once a map of a lab/temple used by the Word of Blake in Battletech/Mechwarrior. If I find it again I'll post a link. Also the bridge or even the engine room of a TNG era starship from Star Trek could easily be used as a lab with little modification.
