Manne Granberg sends a colorful UFO to scan a microscale farm:
Don’t miss the little farmer aiming his puny gun at the invaders.

Classic LEGO sets, microscaled!
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
(Via MicroBricks, and again.)
Star Wars in a Bubble!
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!
Micro 6086 Black Knight’s Castle by lovebacu
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. ;-)
Micro 10182 Cafe Corner by mumu
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:

Kaitimar (whose Zoomer we featured a few days ago) has posted another levitating vehicle. This one’s a micro-Spinner from Blade Runner:

Mini Star Wars Vehicles by TsoAutTmo
Builders like Moko and Chris Deck are well known for their mini Star Wars models, but occasionally other builders do something original with an otherwise well-worn theme.
Here’s TsoAutTmo’s X-wing:
Great use of the new mini-slopes and the wheels as engines. See more of his mini creations on Brickshelf.
Micro Minas Tirith by Bruce
Bruce presents an amazing microscale version of Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings:
Head on over to Bruce’s Web site, Brick Tales, for lots of pictures.
So, more trains? Or not?
Train builders create some fantastic stuff — often overlooked by those of us more involved in themes like Space and Castle.
For example, check out Anthony Sava’s full-size and micro-scale No. 805 American 4-4-0 (via MicroBricks):
Or all of the displays LEGO train clubs create for events, like the layout Bill Ward participated in at a recent Train Collectors’ Association event:
And creations for train layouts are often on a scale much larger than in other themes, like Bill Vollbrecht’s Maersk Headquarters building in last year’s NWBrickCon train layout:
So a question for readers of The Brothers Brick: Do you want to see more trains and layouts? Or should we stick with the old stand-bys — castles, space ships, minifigs, mecha, and so on? Leave a comment and let us know.
Micro Bikini Bottom by Ochre Jelly
Ochre Jelly asks, “Hasn’t the world had enough custom Lego robots and space ships? ;-)”
Ha! A fair question, to be sure. So, if you’re tired of seeing nothing but mecha and intergalactic cargo haulers here on The Brothers Brick, do what OJ did — build something different, post it, and let us know. If we like what you send us, we’ll post it.* :D
Here’s Ochre Jelly’s very microscale Bikini Bottom, as a 3D stereogram no less:
* And for the record, we can’t post everything, so just because we don’t post it doesn’t mean we don’t think it’s cool.
