The Secret Mountain Base

Ever wished you had a secret base hidden in the mountains with a hidden entrance? Well then, this design is perfect for you!


The seemingly normal rock face with vegetation to hide the entrance even more… (The rest of the mountain has not been depicted here due to brick limitations, your imagination can fill in the rest)

To enter the secret base, the minifigure has to grab one of the plants (a fake one) and turn it, thus making… 
I’ll not go into detail and let you watch the video yourself.


Now, the minifigure is in its secret base! Interior design has not been added here; but the floor is concealing an astonishing amount of gears that are used to make the mechanism work. Note that the side now facing the mountain is exactly the same. 
Also, the yellow knob serves as the mechanism that triggers the turntable again, bringing the minifigure back to the outside.


Here, the panels at the inside of the base have been removed to show the mechanism. Watch the video below and see the gears turning.


*Removing the extra panels made the mechanism unstable, so that little press there served to keep it together…
Making this model was an enjoyable experience. 

Thank you for reading my blog.
