The Brothers Brick

Soren Roberts ([Soren]) was one of the earlier and most proficient builders of sub-minifig scale LEGO starships. His latest missile cruiser ‘Hammer’ is another fine example of clean lines, geometric shapes and controlled greebling.

No clever title for this post, just a fascinating combination of space and foliage in this creation. The builder, Shamisenfred, has provided an explanation as to how a tree was engineered to grow in space. I’m more concerned with how cool this looks. The organic shapes of the tree and the structures built into them Continue reading →

If you like micro builds and you like good LEGO photography then this shot from Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) will not disappoint.

Lolino packs some serious detail into his latest creation, Lovneur Castle. Forest and all sits on an 8×8 base, and just holds so much charm. Big difference from his most recent creation!

Víctor Mtz N. (lokosuperfluoLEGOman) built this adorable little trireme ship for a minifig-scale diorama displayed at the MadBrick event in Madrid earlier this month. The Collectible Minifig trophies make nice micro-figs, and I love the shape of the prow.

I’ve been enjoying Kaptain Kobold‘s fun little LEGO creations for just about as long as I’ve been blogging, and I’m especially enjoying his latest set of microscale arms and armor from World War II. Alan’s Renault FT-17 tank and Heinkel He 162 “Volksjäger” fighter jet illustrate that you don’t have to put a lot of Continue reading →

Recently Soren Roberts ([Soren]) made a comment on the Goliath alluding to having something similar in the works. Well it’s not quite a docking cradle but it is a combat repair ship so serves a similar role. I’m a sucker for arms on ships but I’ll quote Kyle Vrieze to describe what I really like: Continue reading →

If anyone can make red and yellow look so good in a space MOC, then that builder is probably Mike Yoder. Mike’s latest addition to his North Central Positronics theme is a microscale docking station. The fact that it was completed in less than a week is as impressive as the build itself.

Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) is on a microscale roll, with his lovely Neverland a couple weeks ago, and continuing with this amazing geodesic dome: Taking his microscale building in a completely different direction, Rod has also posted the iconic climax of Ghostbusters using parts from a Series 4 Collectible Minifig sailor:

Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) says that he built this little pirate ship months ago and the idea to build the cove in Neverland from Peter Pan has “haunted” him ever since, with five false starts before getting it right. Though built to showcase the ship, my own favorite details are the waterfall and the Continue reading →

Philipp Herfeldt posted a stop-motion video showing the construction of the upcoming set in the LEGO Archtecture line: 21008 Burj Khalifa.

With this lovely airport, Rakanishu1024 has built one of the most substantial LEGO models I’ve seen that uses the Micropolis standard, complete with landing lights on the runway. Via MicroBricks.

As much as we enjoy them, I suspect we’re all used to seeing microscale modular buildings at this point. But a micro version of 10188 Death Star? Well done, Brickbuilder0937! Brickbuilder0937 further miniaturizes the mini TIE Fighter, and includes every little scene from the official set — detention block, trash compactor, throne room, and more. Continue reading →

This is not a lineup of LEGO’s Cafe Corner buildings but rather a downsized one. Matthew Raehl (Puddleglum-) has recently finished miniature versions of these popular LEGO sets. Here are more picture of mini Grand Emporium, Green Grocer, and Fire Brigade.
