Kevin Fedde‘s first microscale spaceships have a great color scheme. Well, anything green catches my eye, but they’re still awesome, from their angled bows to the blue engine exhaust:

A Sliding Scale of Plymouth Rocks
Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg have built the Plymouth Rock in multiple scales. From Micro to Mega and everything in between, these cars rock!
Micro Taj Mahal
Proving that you don’t need 5922 pieces to build the Taj Mahal, T-Brick recreates the famous Indian monument in microscale:
Using a white tire for the dome is very clever.

Superfan sends in a Trojan Horse
Fórum 0937 member superfan has entered the Classic-Castle.com Mini Castle Contest IV with this great scene that incorporates a minifig-scale horse as a massive Trojan Horse:
Living in a tree with Tânia
One of my favorite contests every year (though I have yet to enter myself) is the Classic-Castle Mini-Castle Contest, full of teeny tiny medieval towns and, well, lots of castles, of course. ;)
The “Living Tree” by Tânia Baixinhos reminds me of something from a Miyazaki movie or a Final Fantasy game:
Check out the Brickshelf gallery for details like the lake, fields, villagers, and all the little houses in the branches of the tree.
A new look at things
See anything interesting in Jarek‘s newest creation at a glance? Take a second look and you might notice the shift from minifig-scale to microscale between the foreground and background!
Indeed, Jarek is using forced perspective in his latest work, and he does it superbly.
Luís and the Argonauts
Note the splashing water around the oars in this lovely little microscale rendition of the legendary Greek ship Argo by Luís Baixinho:
Don’t miss the behind-the-scenes coverage on Luís’s blog.
And now for something completely different — a human cannonball (also by Luís, of course):
“Endurance” microscale carrier
I will try to steer away from the drama and hype about the Castle Advent Calendar in an attempt to distract the viewers so I can get a better shot at securing my two copies. Ok, I admit it’s not working.
Meanwhile, Soren Roberts‘ Endurance Fleet Carrier is a very noteworthy microscale creation, one of the better ones to hit the public in several months. It is interesting to note that the name of the ship “Endurance” fits well with the fact that this creation has been lingering around as a work in progress model since January 2007, but it mattered more that Soren finished the race.
Rebel attack – an all out LEGO Star Wars battle in microscale!
Tim G (Roguebantha) has been working lately on a microscale Star Wars battle of epic proportions. It’s all come down to this action-packed diorama featuring some of the best LEGO Star Wars mini models around. Click on the pictures below for the Flickr gallery, or you can check out the Brickshelf gallery here.
Check out the smoke effect on this crashing X-wing, which is cleverly supported by the laser beam from the turret.
Castaway t’ Neverland by SlyOwl
The new LEGO Pirates fan community at ForbiddenCove.com is certainly inspiring some wonderful pirate-themed LEGO creations lately!
One of my favorites so far is “Castaway t’ Neverland” by SlyOwl:
Brick-built creatures populating the desert island include a gull, hummingbird, crabs, and monkey. Note the horns for breakers and the microscale ship in the background, as if off in the distance. Brilliant!
Celebrating GO MINIMAN GO – “30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure”
David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure. How many historical figures/events can you name?
