With both ApocaLEGO and microspace building still going strong, I’m reduced to playing catch-up with roundup posts like this one. It’s a nice problem to have! :-D
A virtual LEGO U.S.S. Sulaco from Aliens by BrickCommander (via Klocki) and The Khet Nasari Relic by Tim Zarki (via Moyblik):
Next, two creations by Andrew Lee (both via MicroBricks):
Finally, every microspace roundup post needs at least one creation from nnenn. This week’s is “Hurassa heavy-dropship, TB12 Porcilm” (via Snoikle):
Adrian Florea presents Salmamir, a microscale torpedo frigate. He also demonstrates the innate swooshability of microspace creations:
And in the continuing spirit of minifigs being used in microscale creations, this just in via the contact form, a yellow microscale Mt. Rushmore by Red 5:
Excellent Teddy Roosevelt. Great submission, Dan Sibley!
The mysterious, gigantic minifig on a beach in The Netherlands has left TBB readers all abuzz. Builder Will M. has recreated this intriguing scene, in microscale no less!
Giant Lego man found in Dutch sea
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-metre (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.
“We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water,” said a stall worker. “It was a life-sized Lego toy.”
A woman nearby added: “I saw the Lego toy floating towards the beach from the direction of England.”
The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.
Excellent work, Will! You had me laughing so hard I could barely blog this.
The “Brickshelf crisis” seems to have interrupted the momentum of Microspacetopia, and ApocaLEGO (yes, we made a category), but that doesn’t mean people aren’t still building cool new microscale creations.
First up, a fueler by Cygnus, and (my favorite of this batch) a nine-piece creation called “Earwig” by Ean:
Via There’s a Moose in my Salad, “ST Vicious Destroyer” by Jerrec:
Via MicroBricks, a full range of Star Wars mini vehicles by nnenn (whose photostream on Flickr contains far more cool microspace creations than I have time to blog):
My current obsession may be all about microspace, but Shannon Young‘s obsession runs along more metropolitan lines. (Via MicroBricks.)
Oh, it gets better:
While we’re at it, here are a pair of Nnenn‘s latest, wildly cool microscale space ships:
Thanks for the tip, reader Preda! :-D
Well, one can infer that from the name of his most recent microscale spaceship. Here’s Tim‘s Spinal Fury:
Nelson Yrizarry recently set out to determine what he could make from just the pieces in 10176 Royal King’s Castle. The results are somewhat surprising:
That’s:
UPDATE: Nelson has added several new creations using only the pieces left over after creating all of the ones in his original batch. Read all about it in the thread on Classic-Castle.com.
Sensor package on the bow, check. Central hangar bay, check. Gray and black color scheme, check. Keel cannon, check. Greebles aplenty, check. Sigh…
This is what I had in mind last night when I stayed up sketching the microspace carrier I want to build. Sadly, it’s by martinbb, not me:
Very cool. Possibly too cool. Hmph! Back to the drawing board for me. (Via Masoko Tanga.)
The new LEGO Microspacetopia group on Flickr has inspired me to build some microscale spacey thingies myself:
