I like it. It really has that dwarf feeling to it. I'm assuming the track goes underground?

Very good one. It simple but beautiful. The Rascus armor comes to good use, the monkey can be used as some sigil instead of a monkey.

Yeah, I feel the dwarven feel. Those poor dwarves in the story! :evil:

Thanks for the comments guys!

The tracks above the cannon are supposed to be connected to another track. But I didn't have enough pieces for that. :oops:
I'm assuming the track goes underground?
I'd hope so, for the Dwarves sake. :twisted:

Well now, that's pretty darn cool! I like the multi layers, and that you can see all the action on the backside of the "tunnels".

Great use of those printed slope pieces. However, I think the neatest pieces are the train tracks! Awesome! Do the little carts actually move along the tracks up and down the tunnels?

The carts do move along the tracks. From the top track, the cart travels into the building where it is loaded and turned around. It then continues down the other track.

At first glance I thought this looked thrown together, but looking more closely I really like it. I think it looks a lot like a system set, in a very good way. It's not too complicated, but the details work really well, such as the arches off the tower or the sprinkling of minerals at the lowest level.

I agree totally. Your limited resource of bricks did not stop you from making a very sound, creative MOC. Not only is it somewhat "system", it gives a good idea of what system might be like if it went fantasy (aka elves and dwarfs and etc). I was also glad to see this MOC in a more detailed way, since it doesn't stick around too long in the story... :)

Great job -

I like mining scenes. This is a nicely constucted small lay out.

God Bless,

Nathan
