This micro-scale fortress is gorgeous and full of some nice techniques. The chainlinks at the top of the towers are a great touch, as is the green hairpiece standing in as a tree on the little island. Hats off to Sean & Steph Mayo! They are definitely builders to be reckoned with.
Ericmok delivers even more Miyazaki goodness with his microscale rendition of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.
My favorite visuals in many Miyazaki films are the clouds, and Eric’s LEGO version of Laputa is one of the few to include this key element of the movie.
No clever title for this post, just a fascinating combination of space and foliage in this creation. The builder, Shamisenfred, has provided an explanation as to how a tree was engineered to grow in space. I’m more concerned with how cool this looks. The organic shapes of the tree and the structures built into them contrast quite nicely with the repeated architectural forms of the “pot.” Similarly, the contrast of the clean white engineered portions really make the colors of the tree pop out.
If you like micro builds and you like good LEGO photography then this shot from Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) will not disappoint.
Lolino packs some serious detail into his latest creation, Lovneur Castle. Forest and all sits on an 8×8 base, and just holds so much charm.
Big difference from his most recent creation!
Víctor Mtz N. (lokosuperfluoLEGOman) built this adorable little trireme ship for a minifig-scale diorama displayed at the MadBrick event in Madrid earlier this month.
The Collectible Minifig trophies make nice micro-figs, and I love the shape of the prow.
I’ve been enjoying Kaptain Kobold‘s fun little LEGO creations for just about as long as I’ve been blogging, and I’m especially enjoying his latest set of microscale arms and armor from World War II.
Alan’s Renault FT-17 tank and Heinkel He 162 “Volksjäger” fighter jet illustrate that you don’t have to put a lot of parts together to make really great, recognizable models.
My favorite is this Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, complete with spinning prop and tiny guns.
Recently Soren Roberts ([Soren]) made a comment on the Goliath alluding to having something similar in the works. Well it’s not quite a docking cradle but it is a combat repair ship so serves a similar role. I’m a sucker for arms on ships but I’ll quote Kyle Vrieze to describe what I really like: ‘You somehow space the components and segments by precisely the right gap to make best use of the negative space’. Indeed.
If anyone can make red and yellow look so good in a space MOC, then that builder is probably Mike Yoder. Mike’s latest addition to his North Central Positronics theme is a microscale docking station. The fact that it was completed in less than a week is as impressive as the build itself.
Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) is on a microscale roll, with his lovely Neverland a couple weeks ago, and continuing with this amazing geodesic dome:
Taking his microscale building in a completely different direction, Rod has also posted the iconic climax of Ghostbusters using parts from a Series 4 Collectible Minifig sailor:
Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) says that he built this little pirate ship months ago and the idea to build the cove in Neverland from Peter Pan has “haunted” him ever since, with five false starts before getting it right. Though built to showcase the ship, my own favorite details are the waterfall and the clouds.
Via MicroBricks.
