[MOC] Microscale 6990 Monorail Transport System

[legomanijak]

Something I made a couple of years ago for a microscale set competition.

The toughest part was getting the shape of the "domes" correct. Some bits on these pictures aren't connected (as it was for a competition and I didn't have time/nor was it necessary to make everything properly connected). 

Recently I had some time to fix these little issues and if you're interested in getting the instructions for this moc feel free to contact me at brickster.creations@gmail.com

The moc is now quite sturdy but still not swooshable.

That's pretty awesome! And it's still soooo recognizable!

Thanks Jesse! I'm glad you like it.

btw what is this part you're using as the black wheels on the front and end?
I mean these:

That would be a minifigure roller skate, part 11253

Huh?

The toughest part is the whole display! Everything on it. Man, I recognize every detail right away ... this is unbelievably nice.

Wow. Thank you very much for sharing!

All the best,

I recognized it under the motor car, totally didn't realize you rotated the same part there!

Funny thing I just noticed... This micro build has 70% of the parts number as the full size model

Thank you Thorsten, you're welcome!

Going through the instructions of the set online helped me a lot in picking the details which I simply had to incorporate somehow.

Those roller skates sure are useful.

70%?! Well to be fair most of it is used on the terrain which the real set didn't have. It would be far more proportionate if the terrain was left out.

Brilliant work. Instantly recognizable, even with the limits you mentioned.

Love this! The monorail base looks really accurate and the sandy base like you'd see in the old boxart really brings it all together into a satisfying and compact display piece.
