This year, for Novvember's Vic Viper, I decided to go old school and do a VV that looked more like the one from the game. It's done in micro scale for a very specific reason. It's piloted by a trophy! It's another trophy scale build.

Here is my entry into the Marchitecture contest. Since the Saskatchewan LUG is hosting this contest (and I happen to live in Saskatchewan) I decided to build one of the common buildings of this Province. In almost every town there is a Grain Elevator. These are used to store the wheat until it is shipped out on trains. I decided to add a little scenery with the combine and semi in this build. Here is a picture of the real thing www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&so... This is in the City Skyline category.

Hello all, today I have a few micro castles I made a little while ago, based in my fantasy world, Rivél.
Sorry about the background (or lack there of), but they're quite fragile (most parts are not even connected) and I didn't feel like resetting them.
Here's some info on the builds:
The Floating City: The city of Avalon (also known as the floating city) is home to elf royalty. The majority of the elf species lives atop this spire of rock, with a few other civilizations speckled around it. The city is only accessible by dragon and the elves don’t like many visitors so humans only visit in the most dire of times.
The fortress of Thehthyr: The only original settlement remaining after "The Ravaging", this castle was once owned by the dark elves, but now it houses all humans and elves who had not been enslaved by the shadow army, with only exception being the Wanderers.
My micro GARC collection. Hopefully, if shipping all goes well, these will end up Brickworld! All the best with the race everyone, and may the best GARC win!
have fun with the swooshing Simon!
Sur le coussin de mousse
La micro nature pousse
Fragile elle pointe sa tête
Car elle vient juste de naître
Sur la pierre elle est un manteau
Sur le bois, elle est comme le lierre.
Je m’approche au plus près d’elle
Etrange ce petit monde si réel
Avec l’odeur de terre mouillée
Qu’on a envie de chatouiller
Le monde si petit soit il ainsi
Qu’il attire les regard sur sa vie
Monde si inconnue si on ne sait pas
Regarder parfois où on pose nos pas.

Trying to get the scale right on my greebling.
I'm trying to make a pair of control tower/room/building and an antenna station/building/complex in different scales to find the right scale.
An entry into the micro castle category of the CCC. Nothing elaborate here, another micro version of one of my previous builds: as there's been a ton of really strong entries to this category already, and I'm not interested in the prize.
So mainly, just a fun quicky. Still have a few more entries to come :)
Crocheted this tiny sheep. I used the same method as popcorn, sewing individual balls onto the body.
Because I love micro!
Not 100% sold on the use of that particular water technique here, but maybe it gives it a bit of a forced perspective vibe?
Oh, and SNOT is so annoying at this level. The amount of unattached pieces here is horrifying. Did I mention this was a pain?
And I can't recommend taking pictures under a sheet in 100 degree weather...
Using 318 magic and travis bricks to fit parts that do not follow brick math. Non purists can cut the support tubes to length for perfect fit.
Una de las cosas maravillosas de Valdivia es poder tomar una micro (un bus) a Niebla y ver el río Calle Calle. ¡Es un espectáculo hermoso!
One of the wonderful things about Valdivia is that you can take a micro (bus) to Niebla and see the Calle Calle river. It's a beautiful sight!
I started this about a year ago, but forgot about, and only just got around to finishing. Hope you like it!
Who said birds originate from dinosaurs? Apparently not. Lisa saved me the trouble researching the name (www.flickr.com/photos/lisa-37-lethen/9142748044/).
The Twenty-plume Moth (Alucita hexadactyla) is a "micromoth" of the many-plumed moth family (Alucitidae). It is found in Europe and has been introduced into North America.
The wingspan is 14–16 mm. Unlike a typical moth, which has two pairs of scaly wings, Alucita has about twenty thin feathery plumes (with scales on the supporting ribs). It perches with the wings outspread like a fan. The wings have a bold zigzag pattern in white, black and brown, which together with the shiny backward-pointing hairs on each plume make the adult moth distinctive.
The moth is also popularly known as the Many-plumed Moth, while the specific name hexadactyla comes from the Greek for six-fingered.
The moth flies the whole year depending on the location. It is common and often found in gardens, but is readily overlooked because of its small size.
The caterpillar larvae feed on honeysuckle (Lonicera). They are leaf miners, tunnelling inside the leaves of the food plant to avoid predators.

De waaiermot, het zespennig waaiermotje of de kamperfoeliebloesemmot (Alucita hexadactyla) is een nachtvlinder uit de familie Alucitidae, de waaiervlinders. De spanwijdte bedraagt tussen de 14 en 16 millimeter.
De vlinder is algemeen in Nederland en België en kan het hele jaar door worden aangetroffen, het imago overwintert.
Waardplant van de waaiermot is kamperfoelie. De rups eet van de nog niet geopende kamperfoeliebloesem de meeldraden en stampers. Soms komen ze ook tot het mineren van bladeren.

Well, at least really small ones.
Some decades ago I had one like this. I loved it.
It's a Honda Z600
"In Europe only the Z600 was marketed, as the N360 had been considered underpowered. 918 cars were sold in Europe, most of them in France and Switzerland. A large number of these cars found their way to Germany (where it had not been marketed), where the engines were downsleeved to 242 cc in order to fit a particular "Class IV" category of driver's licenses which did not require an exam. These models first appeared in 1969 after the last 250 cc car in regular production, the Goggomobil 250, had been discontinued. The engine offered from 12.5 to 14 PS (9.2 to 10.3 kW) and provided a top speed of 85 km/h (53 mph)" (Wikipedia)
