Tag Archives: Microscale

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.

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.

Matt Armstrong micros the world entire

The latest microscale creation from Matt “monsterbrick” Armstrong covers the whole globe, or at least large swaths of it.

Here’s just a small section of the many panels in this series of creations:

I love this whale:

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.

Mini 10185 Green Grocer

Chiukeung from Hong Kong minimizes the latest Green Grocer LEGO set. The model uses over 450 lego pieces and took two weeks to design and build. It looks very nice, and check out the mini renditions of Cafe Corner and Market Street below:

René Magritte’s Time Transfixed, LEGO’d by Uli Meyer

You’ve probably seen the paintings of surrealist artist René Magritte, even if you didn’t realize what you were puzzling over was by him. Uli Meyer has created a wonderful LEGO version of Magritte’s “Time Transfixed,” complete with a microscale train that’s great in its own right.

Matt Armstrong micros Rocko’s steampunk TIE fighter

Rocko’s steampunk TIE fighter has inspired Matt Armstrong to make his own micro version:

Okay, so the colors aren’t exactly the same, but the one-piece steam makes up for it.

Death Star in a dome!

I never cease to be amused by Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard‘s creations confined to domes.

His latest is an iconic scene from A New Hope — the Millennium Falcon gets tractor-beamed into a Death Star hangar bay as our heroes try to rescue a certain princess. As always, more pics on Flickr

TGV-66 Wildsau by DasNewten

DasNewten tries his hand at a style reminiscent of nnenn‘s microscale ships. And I say he succeeded rather nicely. Just one picture doesn’t do this little beauty justice, so click the photo above to check out more on Flickr.

Mini starships from Xiphos Systems

Alex (aka Xiphos Systems) presents two gorgeous and slick microscale starships. While we’ve not seen much yet from this builder, he certainly leaves a promising impression. These fine models are reminiscent of the amazing starfighters from nnenn. Keep up the great work Alex!
