(MOC): M:Tron Mining Base

[Spaceman_]

Welcome to the M:Tron Mining Base!

I have always been a Classic Space fan, and because I also like gemstones, M:Trons are a blend of both space and crystals. I really enjoy the micro-scale LEGO building, especially because the detail is more packed into small areas, making designs smoother. This MOC contains 4,278 pieces.

I always imagined that M:Trons would mine Brickonium (the crystal) out of big mountains. The satellite towers that I included are used to help the freighters leave the atmosphere safely. I hope you enjoy my build! 😄

Up first is the main image. You get a good look at what's going on.

This is the top view. Cool angle, right?

This is a shot from the side. Easier to see the action.

Here is a good shot of the back. There are those greedy Blacktrons! You also get to see the satellite towers better too.

Here is an up-close shot of the magnetic crane loading one of the freighters.

And last, but not at all least: the minifigures! My personal favorite of the MOC. Every minifigure on the stand is represented in the set.

Thank you very much for checking it out! I hope you like it!

If you like this model and want to see it become a real set, you can support it here.

The rockscape is superb. Especially the transition from the north-south angle to the east-west angle of slopes.

Thank you! Getting the slope bricks to fit perfectly together without any choppy angles was a lot of trial and error. I found that is was easier to use element 26604 and two of element 5404 to create a corner. I'm glad you like it!
