Microracer

This 14 piece microscale race car was taken from the LEGO Play book.

 Microracer
  • 2 bricks with two side studs
  • 2 1x1 round plates
  • 3 1x1 slopes
  • 1 transparent 1x1 slope
  • 4 black 1x1 round plates
  • 1 1x1 brick with side stud
  • 1 1x1 plate with ring
Notice I have round plates and 1x1 slopes listed separately. This is because the pieces can be any color, except one of the slopes has to be transparent (It's the windshield)and four of the round plates have to be black (They are the wheels).
 Attach the three bricks. This car is built using the SNOT* building technique, so lay the bricks down sideways. Lots of microscale things use this method.
 Put the black 1x1 round plates on the side studs for the wheels.
 Add one of the slopes to the front. Put the transparent slope on top.
 Add the plate with the ring to the back.
 Put the other two 1x1 round plates on either side of the ring.
 To finish it, add the last two slopes to the 1x1 plates, completing the spoiler on the back.
 Your microracer is ready for a race! In the LEGO Play book, there was a whole track for microracers to race around. try building your own, complete with a microscale audience and pit crew.

*Studs Not On Top
