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.

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.

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.

Frogspace roundup for October 27, 2007

I think Frogspace is officially a trend. It even has its own Flickr group now. I’m guessing that somebody’s going to start a new blog dedicated just to Frogspace. Anyway, let’s catch up on the latest in this truly strange theme…

Arpy‘s flyers, uniski, and walker:

Don Solo‘s pillbuggy and Blacktron II frogfighter:
