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.

Micro Vehicles by Peter Morris

I’m not sure this asteroid processor by Peter Morris qualifies as “microscale” given its size (it does), but it’s pretty darn cool. So are these other spacey vehicles:

Thanks for the tip, Ethan!

Mini Millenium Falcon by Ototoko

Ototoko, a new Brickshelf user, has figured out the absolutely perfect scale — the right balance between detail and hand-held swooshability — for a mini/microscale Millenium Falcon. Thanks for the tip, reader Frank!
