This is micro-scale at its absolute best. When I saw a thumbnail of this build by Fredoichi, I thought that it was minifigure scale. I can’t think of a more impressive feat for a creation at this scale than to read as bigger and more detailed than it is.

Flickr and Classic-Castle member TooMuchCaffeine has posted this gorgeous entry for Classic-Castle’s Mini Castle Contest:
The micro-castle itself is rather lovely, but what really caught my eye was the presentation. Building his castle to fit inside the chest was ingenious!
LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope chess set by Brandon Griffith
I strongly suspect most of you have already seen this, but this LEGO Star Wars chess set by Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) is well worth another look.
In addition to a great board and the minifig stands one might expect from a LEGO chess set, Brandon built a bunch of microscale Star Wars vehicles and even a couple of cute little vignettes as chess pieces.

The new sets just keep getting smaller and smaller...
In addition to the fantastic new creations coming out of Dan’s Mini Castle Contest V, we get to see immense creativity in micro-scale recreations of our favorite classic castle sets.
Griffon brings an excellent rendition of 6080 LEGOLand Castle, originally released in 1984:
It even opens up, just like the original! Check out the rest of the photos on Brickshelf.
Castle on the hill
This microscale castle scene by Marcos Bessa looks pretty nifty, especially the dock and the ship. Looking at this makes me want to see a full-blown medieval landscape that rivals the size of the famous Shannonia microcity.
Micro Gunship by Fredoichi
This little craft, by Fredoichi, caught me off guard. I didn’t realize it was microscale until I’d clicked on it. Nice job, very nice job.
10197 Fire Brigade in microscale
It’s been only less than two weeks since the release of 10197 Fire Brigade, but Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) has already microscaled it. I won’t ask how many of his Flickr contacts thought it was the actual set from the thumbnail pictures.

Sharif don’t like it
Legoadam has made great use of dish and arch pieces to construct this simple but delightful microscale mosque. I’m sure the sharif would like it.
Our (micro) Town
Janey “Red Brick” Gunning posted this magnificent micro-scale rendition of 10184 Town Plan.
Each building is completely recognizable as being the mini-version of it’s minifig-scale counterpart. For close-up shots, check out the theater, the gas station, and the courthouse!
Meet Michael, the microscale miniature dachshund
The miniaturization of LEGO dachshunds continues. Brickshelfer w9gfo recently posted this lovely little dog, completely with lolling tongue.
Here’s hoping Joel’s puppy enjoyed this post as much as Josie did.

Stefan’s micro Star Trek fleet is ready to make first contact with the Borg
I think we could blog pretty much everything Stefan (-2×4-) has posted so far. Following his mini Battlestar Galactica fighters, Stefan’s microscale Star Trek fleet includes a nice variety of ships from Star Trek: First Contact in a variety of sizes, ranging from the minuscule USS Defiant to the Enterprise-E.
Naturally, resistance is futile, as this large Borg Cube demonstrates.
