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.

Kyle Katarn’s Moldy Crow by RogueBantha

One of the things that got me into Star Wars back in the 90’s was the PC game Dark Forces (released in 1995).

Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has created a vignette to showcase his microscale Moldy Crow (an older creation):

I wasted far too many hours late at night blowing stormtroopers away with the concussion rifle and avoiding thermal detonators thrown by three-eyed Grans (“Tink tink tink…BOOM!”). Ah, good times…

Tim’s latest is actually a lovely little Theta-class shuttle, shown here with Palpatine and a pair of clones:

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.

Love it.

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.”

Andrew Lee presents a whole lotta small with this pair of micro moonbase modules inspired by the Space Police theme:

Functional microspace works from Nnenn

Two of Nnenn‘s recent creations highlight the functional form in LEGO microspace. His most recent work, a cargo carrier called PX4-320b Ittadyma, is a carrier that displays colorful cargo containers, which are attached and detached with small helper crafts.

Another unique project highlights modular microscale ships. Click on the picture below to see all the combinations of ship parts, resulting in numerous variations.

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.

Micro floating castle

Mumu‘s entry for the Original Model Contest was Mont Saint Michel, a microscale castle in the air. Imagine the view from up there; it must be great.
