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:

Japanese blogger Inago100 doesn’t post to the usual photo sites (Brickshelf, Flickr, etc.), so I thought I’d share his latest creation — a microscale “space base” with lots of interesting details:
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!
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!
Manne Granberg sends a colorful UFO to scan a microscale farm:
Don’t miss the little farmer aiming his puny gun at the invaders.
A couple LEGO fans have been building microscale versions of classic LEGO sets lately.
Thomas Main gets things going with microscaled versions of several sets from the 1970s:
Nermal joins the trend with a microscale version of 6034 Black Monarch’s Ghost:
This is something I’ll have to try with my favorite childhood sets. :-D

TBB reader Nathan pointed us to a new entry in Roguebantha‘s series of Star Wars scenes in bubbles — the Battle of Geonosis:
If you haven’t seen these before, be sure to check out all of them!
Brickshelf user lovebacu has miniaturized 6086 Black Knight’s Castle (via Klocki):
By the way, whenever I blog someone new, I always try to find their real name, blog, or Web site to give proper credit. In searching the Web for lovebacu’s user name, I discovered several Korean LEGO communities, including BrickInside, where lovebacu seems to be a member (though I’m not sure, since I don’t actually read Korean).
If you’re a reader in Korea and you have suggestions for Korean LEGO blogs or forums we should include in our links, please let us know!
도와줘서 고마워요. ;-)
Excitement about 10182 Cafe Corner has been building in Japan ever since it was announced that a new specialty store called Toys R Us Select will be carrying this set. As Japanese fans start to get their hands on what some are calling the best LEGO set ever, it has started showing up on blogs and displays.
mumu couldn’t wait to get his, so he just made a microscale version instead:
