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.

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 Brigadeicon, 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

Mahmudiye Camii by Legoadam

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.

Take me out to the ball game

I remember seeing work-in-progress pictures of this model, but I can’t believe it took Sean Kenney three years to make it. I mean, what a slacker, just kidding! What’s more incredible than making a 1:150 scaled model of the real stadium out of more than 45,000 LEGO bricks is the fact that the model was built in part by a gradeschooler. Check out more pictures of this grand accomplishment on MOCpages.

Microscale U.S.S. Sulaco by 2×4

That alien queen needs to be bombarded from orbit. This microscale U.S.S. Sulaco by 2×4 seems up to the job.

It was meant to be built in LEGO microscale

ZED‘s microscale model of the Alin Boutique Sarigerme hotel bears so much resemblance to its real-life counterpart that it makes me wonder if the building was meant to be made in LEGO microscale. If you look at the balconies, the central gray tower with its conical roof, it’s not hard see that they bear resemblance to certain LEGO pieces.

Microscale Bird’s Nest

Yiu Keung built a microscale version of the Beijing National Stadium, more commonly known as the Bird’s Nest, using mostly t-pipes and Technic half pins. What a mind-boggling build!

And don’t miss our behind-the-scenes coverage of the minifig-scale LEGO Sport City that Yiu Keung and HKLUG built last summer for the Beijing Olympics.

What is it with Australians and cybernetically enhanced trolls?

Among the many interesting things that eclectic (and talented) builder Karf Oolhu has posted recently is this brave troll, complete with both Gatling and ray guns.

As always, that’s not the only interesting thing in Karf’s photostream. I love this microscale fuel refinery abuzz with activity.
