Erik Smit (Eti) has created a lovely little microscale version of 10193 Medieval Market Village, complete with horse and cart, cows, and buildings that open and close.

Chris Deck, master mini modeler
It absolutely baffles me that we’ve featured the microscale creations of Chris Deck (Legostein) precisely … once! I realized this oversight when I headed over to the new FBTB to post my own microscale BSG hangar.
Chris’ latest microscale models include a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid and Republic Gunship from Star Wars:
As you might imagine, I’m particularly keen on his Foundry Ship from Battlestar Galactica:
Chris was one of the first micro/mini-scale builders I encountered — way back in 2001~2002, and his LEGO creations have always inspired me. For aspiring LEGO builders out there, Chris includes meticulous instructions for most of his models.
Check out all of his LEGO creations on Chris Deck’s LEGO website and on Brickshelf.
My micro Battlestar Galactica hangar, with tiny Vipers and teeny Raptors

The Colonial Viper design is inspired by the little black fighter by Bodo Elsel I saw recently on MicroBricks.
Here’s a close-up of the Vipers, escorting a Colonial Raptor:
I have a few more photos in my Microscale Battlestar Galactica Hangar photoset on Flickr.
Shannonia the expansive
Shannon Young won the “Best in Micro” award at BrickCon this past October, and he recently (finally!) began uploading detailed photos to the City of Shannonia Visitors’ Center on MOCpages.
In addition to the downtown core he began with nearly two years ago, Shannon has added a coastline, landscaping, and outlying suburbs.
Mainman’s Micro Moonbase is powered by Power Miner prongs
Sometimes when I’m browsing Flickr a LEGO thumbnail grabs my eye and I love the creation even before I really know what it is. This is the case with Mainman’s Micro moonbase module that features parts from the Power Miners line. I didn’t know at first it was a (micro) moonbase module, let alone a space creation, but I immediately thought it was awesome. Just something about it, with all those cheese slopes and the orange/dark gray color scheme…
Rush Hour
Matt Armstrong has been building a monstrous number of microscale cars, trucks, and buses. So many, in fact, that he is now experiencing grid-lock…
Thanks to Erik Smit for the reminder!
Ships of the Voshivo, Inc. fleet
Nnenn may have customized a yellow 2×3 plate to achieve the missile tubes on the battle frigate accompanying this microscale fleet, but I can’t help but like the overall effect:
The colorful cargo on the barge (with various classic stickers) contrasts nicely with the utilitarian design of the armed escort.
Ken Takeuchi’s microscale Europa battleship has its own gravitational pull
As far as I can tell, Ken Takeuchi (blog) single-handedly invented the microscale space genre nearly 10 years ago. His latest proves that he’s still got it:
The battleship Europa is nearly a meter (3 feet) long, and the interior is braced with LEGO Technic beams.
For lots more photos, check out Ken’s Europa page on KEN-TUCKY.com.
ISS-1427p Dorella heavy flak cruiser
Nnenn isn’t just about fighters and tracked racers. Demonstrating his versatility, his latest microscale creation is a large-scale cruiser with a pair of support ships:
Microscale Howl’s Moving Castle by Horace Cheng
Howl’s Moving Castle is easily my favorite Miyazaki film of the last 10 years or so. I never imagined the enormous castle could be shrunk down to microscale, but Horace Cheng does it with detail to spare.
Battle cruiser HERMES
Luis from HispaLUG presents this heavily armed space battle cruiser spanning 39.8″ or 127 studs. This microscale SHIP, labeled the Maximum Force Station, is sure to strike fear into the hearts of its enemies. There is a backstory behind the build written in Spanish; I regret that my Spanish skills are not proficient to understand the writing.
The precarious civilization of Shannon Ocean
Shannon Ocean has titled this sculpture “Delicate Civilization” — with a couple important messages worth clicking through to Flickr for.
The asymmetrical microscale city is excellent in its own right:
