Tim Goddard adds a new microscale LEGO Star Wars diorama to his Mustaneer set with this great scene from the Clone Wars:
The brick-built smoke effects are great — especially where the laser beams rake across the ground. Tim’s microscale vehicles always good, but I love the red-white-and-blue Republic Gunship.
Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has made quite a name for himself with his microscale LEGO Star Wars creations.
Tim’s latest is a modular Imperial base called Mustaneer (not to be confused with the far more distant Mustafar):
The base has a rack for a squadron of TIE fighters, a landing pad for an Imperial shuttle or landing craft, and an AT-AT garage. Even cooler, the AT-AT garage doors open and close on tracks:
There are lots more photos in Tim’s Imperial base photoset on Flickr.
Jerak uses brown in his most recent creation to construct a heavily armed micro spaceship called the Juggernaut Fortress, based off the Clairconctlar Pinnacle. It is worth checking out the bottom of the ship, equally full of details as the top and in my opinion wouldn’t look so awkward to be cruising upside down.
In our third LEGO Star Wars post of the day, Rong Yiren depicts Emperor Palpatine’s arrival aboard the Death Star, in ultra-microscale:
Shannon Young‘s famous microcity called Shannonia underwent a huge expansion recently, resulting in the most beautiful stage of its evolution so far, now with topographic features such as the ocean and shoreline. To appreciate the current status of the city, one ought to see the history of Shannonia and its humble beginnings. The best part is that Shannonia is still growing and is forecasted to double its size at BrickCon in October.
Check out the amazing satelite view:
Capturing the lines of Classical Greek architecture at minifig scale is challenging enough, but Mastergongfu has done so quite nicely at microscale:
Thanks for the e-mail, mastergongfu!
Brickshelf user czekoladowyboss‘s newest build is a massive microscale space battle-ship called the Dragon. In addition to the bold red and black coloring, some other distinguishing features include the ribbed patterns and the docking bays for its smaller companion vessels. Check out the full gallery for some more great details.
Following up on his minifig-scale “488 Galaxy Scout” we featured yesterday, Aaron Becker (Flickr) goes microscale with “498 Command Frigate”:
Once again, Aaron demonstrates that it’s not about the size of your collection…
Check out Brickshelf user Havoc‘s impressive microscale starship called the Endymion, meant for the defense of Earth against alien attacks. Take note of the planned and non-haphazard use of colors, which in my opinion is one of the defining factors of a skilled builder. A second ship from the builder is to be announced in a few months, and we look forward to that.
Long time space hero Dan Jassim has taken a break from retirement to present a batch of microscale space creations. Here are highlights of four of them, induding the Blacktron Destroyer, Space Skulls Battlecruiser, Exploriens Starship, and Unknown Bad Guy Assault Ship.
See them all in the post on Classic-Space.
Shannon Young captures the drama of car racing in a micro vignette featuring some pretty crafty mini racers and a clever crowd mosaic. Click on the picture below to learn why Shannon hates car racing so much. That’s right, Shannon is absolutely disgusted by car racing; that’s why he built this creation.
Inspired by Alex Kahler’s micro creation featuring a mini Dreadnought from Warhammer 40K, Jarek presents a micro dio featuring a few of his designs, including a nifty little tank, complete with an accompanying diorama.
