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.

Buzz!

This is so small and simple, but I couldn’t resist! Nice job by legovaughan.

Armed Courier

Soren Roberts has built a new micro-scale ship. It merges curved and angled elements into an interesting and cohesive shape. I’ve never liked building space craft in red, personally, but this one works, with just enough of other colors to impart a sense of reality.

This photo is of the underside of the ship, which is also my favorite side.

Onyasis Landing Platform

Sometimes I wonder if I blog Pete Reid‘s creations too often. The problem is, he just posts such fantastic builds.

This landing “platform” is really several platforms and a tower, and they’re all just packed with detail. The texture really adds a lot to the impact of the model, as there’s seemingly always something else to look at. I think my favorite detail is the little door leading out to each platform.

Adorable micro sub discovers micro LEGO Atlantis

Tim Goddard (roguebantha_1138) brings us what is likely the first microscale creation inspired by the new LEGO Atlantis theme.

Note how Tim integrated the new Atlantis visor and helmet into the vehicle.

Dual Rotors Are Music To My Ears

I’ve been away from the blog for too long, and it’s time to jump back on the wagon. Fradel Gonzales has given me a nice opportunity with this micro chopper. It’s also a trophy for a contest, so you can win it as your very own!

Window to the soul

In his Urtiva Yacht nnenn shows off a highly-effective yet ever-so-simple technique for microspace windows using nothing more than white and black plates. It really demonstrates scale in this space yacht. Hopefully we’ll see more of it.

Heralding the new year with the Wrath of God

Kevin Walter‘s Wrath of God battleship is the latest SHIP to drool over. Having read the builder’s profile and learned that he’s 19, I’m reminded of a quote by Soren Roberts on SHIPs: “because you’re not a man until you’ve built one.” I guess this means that most of us still have a long way to go, but meanwhile Kevin shows us how it’s done.

Nebulon-B escort frigate

Measuring 4′ 6″ (172 studs), Steef de Prouw‘s Nebulon-B escort frigate is one massive and detailed build. It’s big enough to accommodate mini X-wings and Millennium Falcon on its docking tube. From what I’ve seen there’s no other Nebulon-B like it in terms of size and style.

This picture shows the grandeur of the frigate in space — an amazing sight to behold.

Microscale Colosseum

This miniature version of the Colosseum by rack911 has all the grandeur of the real landmark. The model has a detailed interior depicting the modern day ruins. Even more spectacular are the lights that create an eerie glow. You can see all the pictures on Brickshelf.

Build a mini army of the Republic!

Chris Deck has created new mini vehicles to add to his impressive Star Wars minis designs. The best part is that you can build your own from the instructions provided. You can access more of Chris’s designs on his Brickshelf.

Minarets (with micro mosque)

For those of who may not have heard, a referendum passed in Switzerland that banned the construction of minarets on mosques. Because, you know, apparently a minaret poses an existential threat to Western Civilization, while upending a tradition of cosmopolitanism is really what you want to go for. This is all Erik Smit (.eti) and I have to say to that:

MisaQa launches her 2009 LEGO Advent Calendar

One of my favorite holiday traditions in the LEGO fan community is MisaQa‘s annual Advent Calendar, taking us day by day from December 1st through Christmas Eve. This year, she’s presenting a new microscale building each day.

Keep an eye on the Flickr photoset or MisaQa’s website, STUD & TUBE.
