Futuron 1987
That’s the first wave of 5 Futuron sets, but I’m still not done with 1987. Next up, my personal favorite sub-theme: Blacktron.
6990 Loading Dock
Sliding/rotating loading dock, implemented via another Technic rack winder. 💙 those large transparent quarter dome pieces.
6990 Freight Elevator
Freight elevator function implemented using a Technic rack winder.
6990: Monorail Transport System
6990-1: Monorail Transport System, Futuron 1987. Two bases, a monorail with vertical ramps, cargo crates, loader vehicle, five astronauts, etc. 👍👍💙
Space monorail
Now, this is a proper LEGO Space set! A fully functional electric cogwheel monorail.
Up next: 6990
Next build will take some time, but it’s one of the best LEGO Space sets of all time.
