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.

Electronic Warfare Frigate “Kitsune” by Tim Zarki

I’ll repeat my silly multilingual joke I left as a comment on the photo: “Foxy!” (Kitsune means “fox” in Japanese.) And does this represent the fifth of five cool microspace ships? Or is that an “S” that stands for “Sexy?” Hmmm…

Microscale links for August 12, 2007

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):

Will M. recreates the mystery of the Dutch minifig, in microscale!

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.

Microscale links for August 5, 2007

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):

In a city called Shannonia...

My current obsession may be all about microspace, but Shannon Young‘s obsession runs along more metropolitan lines. (Via MicroBricks.)

Tim Zarki’s back is really, really mad!

Well, one can infer that from the name of his most recent microscale spaceship. Here’s Tim‘s Spinal Fury:
