[MOC] Mario Kart - Mario Circuit

[Cecilie]

In April I built Mario in a Kart and Yoshi on a bike to place on a 16x16 street vignette for a collaborative street display and contest. But the small format was a bit too crowded to make a proper scene out of it, so for displaying at Paredes de Coura in Portugal and Brickworld in Chicago in June, I decided to build a larger scene for them, including my Lakitu as well (with a camera this time) and a Piranha Plant built for the occasion.

This also scored a nomination for "best vignette" at Brickworld!

The Piranha plant especially was quite challenging, as I needed it to scale with my other characters, and be in the same style.

Beautifully done once again. That Pirahna Plant is top notch, and that camera is great! And, of course, major NPU.

A banana peel made out of bananas! Such a cool display.

One of my all time favorite games!

Awesome! This is just spot-on and packed with silly, iconic fun!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments

Is the camera being held by nylon strings? I can't spot any! Very cool!

The string you see is this type: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=93229&idColor=11, which is attachable to a clip.

Ah yeah, when I display it he's being held up by trans clear supports, but I edited them out for the photo
