Some say “Go big or go home!” but it takes real talent to compress something down to just a few studs and still keep it recognizable. Of course, many of the micro models we feature here aren’t so small after all, whether it’s a vast cityscape or starship.

I’m over the moon for Zach’s micro moonbase factory

Inspired by Space Police Precinct 9, Zach Clapsadle decided the moon needed a factory. With smokestacks (built from pirate cannons). On the moon. Where there’s no air.

The sack of (insert city name here)

The diversly talented Shannon Young builds whatever he wants, gets whatever he wants, and certainly destroys whatever he wants. This is Shannon’s demonstration of his power, to put a random nameless city to rubbles. He quotes Machiavelli that “whoever conquers a free town and does not demolish it commits a great error and may expect to be ruined himself.”

A very microscale Stargate indeed

Ochre Jelly writes, “I found a minfig magnifying glass the other day, and could only imagine one possible use for it!”

From a deathglider inflicting some serious damage to mighty British Columbian evergreens, OJ’s scene is truly complete:

Indeed.
