JD Luse‘s microcity spans on a 64X64 studs base and contains over 100 micro buildings. This impressive layout lives up to the standards set by Shannon Young’s Shannonia, which served as the inspiration for the creation. Check out more pictures and descriptions of invidivual buildings in the gallery on MOCpages.
I think I’ve driven to work twice in the last year. My saving the world aside, this microscale scene by rhdlb is beautiful, with a pair of excellent buses and some great details built into the base. I also really like the street lights.
Jarek’s (Jerrec) microscal space Gesha Freighter is the latest marvel in microspace engineering. Using the tipper bed piece from set 7798, Jarek craftly simulates the hull of the freighter while creating an illusion that the model is much larger, when my inspection estimates it at around 11″ long.
With photo-editing, you can see the freighter in various industrial colors. Unfortunately it is impossible to actually make the model in any color other than green, since the tipper piece is only produced in that color.
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:

Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg have built the Plymouth Rock in multiple scales. From Micro to Mega and everything in between, these cars rock!
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.

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:
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.
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.
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):
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.
