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.

Rainbow warriors!

Nnenn shows us that every color is good for making microscale ships.

Here is the entire gallery.

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without MisaQa’s Advent Calendar

I know I’m not alone in looking forward to what MisaQa will do with her Advent Calendar series every December. She says that her theme this year is “Tiny City:”

And since it’s already December 2 in Japan, we get to post a second building:

Be sure to keep an eye on this gallery or this page on her Web site.

Something’s afoot at Dock 5 of the North Central Positronics Shipyards

Mike Yoder has “tweaked” his Last Flight diorama, and the result is “Dock 5 at the North Central Positronics Shipyard.”

In addition to an interesting curved slope technique, Mike’s diorama includes microscale versions of several iconic ships by other builders:

Yoder crashes in with style

Check out the amazing crash diorama by Mike Yoder called the Final Flight of the Dogstar III.

Note the nice contrast between the chaotic crash site and the order and cleanliness of the rest of the city. Well done Mike!

Jerac’s gas miner

Jarek (aka Jerac) presents another impressive addition to his fleet of microscale spaceships. This one’s a second version of his original Behemoth gas miner, now called the Behemoth II. According to the builder, the ship “features hangar, detacheable containers and… detacheable details if held incorrectly :>”

Not a weapon but a tool of persuasion

Tim Z. (Spook) is a master of microscale spaceworks. His most recent is a space cannon that blows up planets called the Kotu’laro Planet Killer, and I love planet destroyers…

Great concept and great color distribution.

The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever

Castle + microscale + floating rocks + space pirates...

…equals the VX-999 – Space Pirate Lair! Dennis Coh emerges out of his year-long building hiatus and presents an innovative cross-genre creation depicting a pirate’s hideout.

Note the ship near the docking port – it is a micro version of Dennis’ Izanami’s Revenge pirate ship. We look forward to more great works from you!

Evolution of a Patrol Boat

Amazing how certain creations evolve. First there was the minifig-scale Patrol Boat by Soren Roberts:

That inspired Chuck C. to make Chibi Patrol Boat:

That resulted in a recoloring by Chuck C. called the Iron Minnow:

Micro SD Gundam Mobile Suits by mumu

For those of you not privileged to live through the 1980s in Japan, SD Gundam was a series of toys, TV shows, and movies spun off from Gundam, featuring squashed, itty bitty (“super-deformed”) versions of the venerable Mobile Suits.

Mumu‘s recreation of the main Mobile Suits includes Gundam, Guntank, and several more. Click the image above to check out mumu’s blog post, or see full-size pictures in his Brickshelf gallery.
