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.

Nnenn goes insectile

Nnenn‘s recent spacecraft have had a decidedly “buggy” look (though others have compared these to Invid or the mobile armor mode of RX-110 Gabthley from Gundam).

Tyrian class freighter by Brenden Wilson

The multiple levels on the bridge tower give some indication of the massive size of this microscale freighter by Brenden Wilson (Flickr). The modular cargo pods work wonderfully.

Visit lovely Gongfujian! See the sights!

Inspired by Shannon Young‘s Shannonia, mastergongfu recently posted his own micropolis. And I got to name it!

Gongfujian is the beautiful capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of the Gongo. Heh heh.

Microscale Taipei 101

Spencer R. constructs a microscale version of Taipei 101, a 101-floor skyscraper located in Taipei, Taiwan. The model stands 31.5 inches and features a very detailed shopping center and plaza at the foot of the tower.

Porphyrion goes microscale

Zach (zachmoe) has taken Danny Rice’s Porphyrion and shunk it to mini size, while keeping all the impressive details of the original. Step back and take a look at the pair from a distance. I bet you can’t tell the difference!

I love all the gears in this little micro mecha from Lukas (Flickr), inspired by Metroid Prime 3.

Destroyer of very small civilizations

Look familiar? It’s a microscale version of Nannan’s Armageddon tank! Both Nannan and I were fooled when we saw this come up in our contacts’ photostreams, so kudos to Adrian Drake for such an excellent itty bitty Armageddon!

Andrew Lee miniaturizes Dan Jassim’s Regent

My favorite entry so far in Mike Yoder’s Fanboy Cover Contest on Classic-Space.com is Andrew Lee‘s microscale interpretation of Dan Jassim‘s Regent.

Here’s the original, with builder for scale:

Nnenn’s gauntlet variation

Check out Nnenn‘s latest fighter, there’s something about the color that I like, maybe it’s the soothing light blue background.

Trucking small

Jarek (Jerac) not only builds microspace but also microtrucks and racers. Check out his latest Racing Transporter.

According to the builder, microscale trucks are much more challenging to build than microscale ship due to the latter’s higher density in piece usage, but in my opinion, to capture the realism of these real life models is the most challenging aspect. You can see some of Jarek’s other trucks here and here.
