This microscale transport by Haung (rack911) is an excellent creation that makes good use of colors, not to mention a few parts such as planks and textured wall pieces, which are definitely not expected on a spaceship but nevertheless works well in this case!
Shannon Ocean takes us on a ride to the moon with this study of lunar architecture in micro-scale. I really like the lines of that house!
Though Bodo Elsel has not been specifically featured here before, he has been the source of inspiration for others. He he has an ongoing series of mini robots and this is only one of many that has caught my fancy. It just popped off the screen for me.
Hancock, though less colorful, is another robot with great expressiveness that I just had to include.
Kevin (Legorevolution) combines a whole bunch of rare chrome-gold LEGO elements with an excellent microscale cityscape for this wonderful scene featuring everyone’s favorite purple-lightsaber-wielding Jedi.
A chrome-gold C-3PO head serves as the hood ornament on the speeder piloted by “Lord Bamfness”.
Among the many collaborative displays at BrickWorld, a new micro-city display has been announced. To participate, construct one or more micropolis modules to add to the huge city layout. The micropolis standard can be found here.

Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) discovered that sand green is harder to come by than he expected while building this mini-scale version of the Pelican dropship from Halo, complete with an itty-bitty Warthog that fits underneath.
The recent spate of unarmed mecha is a result of the Mecha Hub Civilian Mecha Contest on Flickr. Kyle Vrieze (bermudafreze) has built a pair of my favorites.
Micro mecha aren’t that unusual, but placing the mecha on a microscale background is fairly unique:
This submersible mecha has realistic, utilitarian arms:

Misa Qa‘s microscale beach house makes great use of the island baseplate from the LEGO Pirate line. It sums up the summer spirit perfectly as my summer vacation begins this week.
Without a doubt, Dr. X is becoming one of my favorite builders, capable of surprising me with each new build.
His latest builds include a due of microscale fleets. “Ambush Force Cf-79” has a consistency of design that spans everything from the large missile destroyer to the fighters.
His “Battle Group Nine” is different in almost every respect, with a distinct aesthetic.
The Reasonably Clever/TwinLUG Bad Day for Micropolis contest ends tomorrow, and a whole batch of great entries have come through in the last few days.
Erik Smit (eti) depicts an Evil Corp skyscraper replacing a block of historic houses:
Meanwhile, Tim Goddard (Rogue Bantha) recreates the entire line of modular buildings in microscale for his entry:
Paul Lee (polywen) adds a last-minute entry titled “It Came from BELOW!!!”

In more contest news, Reasonably Clever and TwinLUG are hosting the Bad Day for Micropolis contest.
As this gorgeous school (with adorably itty-bitty school buses) built by judge Max Braun illustrates, the TwinLUG Micro City Standard is fairly simple — to fit into collaborative displays — while still enabling individual builders to do some pretty cool things.
There are four categories in the contest, and you can win a cartload of prizes. The contest ends at 2:22 AM EST on May 4, 2009, so get building!
