I’ve always loved LEGO microscale building. It’s all about challenging yourself as a builder to find the simplest and smallest expression of something that remains immediately recognisable. Whilst not exactly regular “microscale building”, I set myself the same challenge with these creations, trying to depict iconic characters in a “minimalist domino” style, using as few pieces and colours as possible. I thought the heroes of the Rebellion would make for an appropriate line-up and I’m pleased with how they turned out…
Once I started building in this style I just couldn’t stop — it’s fun, but surprisingly challenging to capture the essence of well-known characters in so few pieces.
I really liked the line-up aspect of the Star Wars figures so aimed to continue in that vein with further models. Here are the Avengers, minus Hawkeye — no matter how many times I tried, his outfit and appearance just isn’t distinctive enough to capture in this style..
And sticking with the superhero theme, here’s the Dynamic Duo…
