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.

Mike Yoder is his own fanboy

Mike Yoder has been working on a rather impressive cargo SHIP, but he took a break to build a microscale version of his own creation. Mike’s also running the Fanboy Cover Contest, in which builders create microscale versions of another builder’s much larger creation (my favorite so far, the oMICROn Weekend, one post below).

Does that make Mike his own fanboy? Heh heh… :-D

Micro Omicron Weekend and the founding of ChiefLUG

A band of builders (Andrew Lee, Gary McIntire, and Scotty Whitesell) headed by Ryan Wood created the ultimate Fanboy display. It’s a microscale version of KeithLUG’s legendary Omicron Weekend. Together, this group of brave men have made history; from now on they will be known as members of ChiefLUG. Congratulations!

EDIT (AB): I just think this deserves a couple bigger pictures. :-)

If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s vampires in space

Thankfully, Jerac has a fleet of very tiny ships, led by the cruiser Van Helsing, to hunt them down and stake their ice-cold hearts.

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.

Andrew Lee micros Mark Sandlin’s very 3vil Asmodeus

The Fanboy Micro contest continues! Andrew Lee goes all tiny and adorable on Mark Sandlin’s massive and formidable Asmodeus.

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!
