Easily distracted by microspace cargo haulers

Yup, that’s me. My latest distraction is this little beauty from Vdude, with cargo modules in a variety of colors:

For more salient commentary on the finer points of this LEGO creation, you may prefer to reference Yahtzee Spittoon Assignation Blowfish.

Manifold destiny

Recent Flickr inductee H.G. Manifold’s first microscale space ship has lovely stripes. The offset bridge also contrasts nicely with the rest of the ship:

Micro Jabba’s Sail Barge by RogueBantha

I love the microscale Jabba’s sail barge in this diorama by Tim Goddard, with dark gray “cheese slopes” that evoke the doors that open on the side of Khetanna. What sets this piece apart for me, however, is the Sarlacc sliced down the middle:

Via MicroBricks, though I lay claim to the provenance of the phrase […]

BattleTech Battlemaster mecha by Andrew Lee

Andrew Lee takes his inspiration from an old BattleTech novel’s cover for his latest mecha. I love Andrew’s use of the LEGO Agents stickers:

Since we’re rifling through Andrew’s photos looking for stuff to blog, here’s a bonus microspace warship, Yen-lo-wang — one “bad mother”:

Microscale Wipeout race by Havoc

Inspired by the 1995 game Wipeout, Havoc’s futuristic racing scene both excellent buildings with custom billboards and a set of six great racers:

Colonial Voyager - “city in the stars”

Catsy from Classic Space creates a microscale starship designed to be “a self-sustaining city in the stars,” complete with the remarkable use of the Bionicle half dome piece as a biodome on this ship. Stay tuned to Catsy’s gallery for more edited photos of this increadible and detailed creation.

Nnenn goes classic

Like other talented, prolific builders, we can’t possibly post everything nnenn builds. It’s not that everything he builds blends together, no! But occasionally, something stands out, like this lovely little racer in Classic Space colors:

Of course, nnenn is also up to his usual tricks — two excellent fighters in red and green:

LEGO Wall-E roundup #2

Even though Pixar’s Wall-E didn’t dominate the box office this past weekend, our lovable robotic hero continues to dominate the hearts and imaginations of LEGO builders.
First up, Wall-E Directing Animator Angus MacLane adds to his collection of LEGO Wall-E models at three different scales. Here’s a mini Wall-E:

Angus’s micro Wall-E has a two-brick cooler, while […]

Mini ARC-170 Starfighter

Check out this custom mini ARC-170 Starfighter by C. K. Yee, who used either stickers or decals or both to decorate this creation to resemble the die cast model.

DARKspawn enters the void of microspace

Multi-theme master Aaron Andrews tries his hand at a microscale space creation:

With a great color scheme and appropriate asymmetry, I’d have to say that Aaron’s first foray into microspace is a rip-roaring success.

Tim Goddard sends in the clones

Tim Goddard adds a new microscale LEGO Star Wars diorama to his Mustaneer set with this great scene from the Clone Wars:

The brick-built smoke effects are great — especially where the laser beams rake across the ground. Tim’s microscale vehicles always good, but I love the red-white-and-blue Republic Gunship.

Tim Goddard’s LEGO Star Wars Imperial base

Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has made quite a name for himself with his microscale LEGO Star Wars creations.
Tim’s latest is a modular Imperial base called Mustaneer (not to be confused with the far more distant Mustafar):

The base has a rack for a squadron of TIE fighters, a landing pad for an Imperial shuttle or landing craft, […]

Juggernaut Fortress microship

Jerak uses brown in his most recent creation to construct a heavily armed micro spaceship called the Juggernaut Fortress, based off the Clairconctlar Pinnacle. It is worth checking out the bottom of the ship, equally full of details as the top and in my opinion wouldn’t look so awkward to be cruising upside down.

Rong Yiren micros the Emperor’s arrival at the Death Star

In our third LEGO Star Wars post of the day, Rong Yiren depicts Emperor Palpatine’s arrival aboard the Death Star, in ultra-microscale:

Shannonia the beautiful

Shannon Young’s famous microcity called Shannonia underwent a huge expansion recently, resulting in the most beautiful stage of its evolution so far, now with topographic features such as the ocean and shoreline. To appreciate the current status of the city, one ought to see the history of Shannonia and its humble beginnings. The best part […]

Enter the Pantheon of Eternal Solitude

Capturing the lines of Classical Greek architecture at minifig scale is challenging enough, but Mastergongfu has done so quite nicely at microscale:

Thanks for the e-mail, mastergongfu!
