After falling a little short on my last attempt to build a micro freight terminal, I decided to give it another try. This time, I used a smaller scale (1:305 instead of 1:200) and narrowed the scope a little so that I could include all of the details that were missing from the first one.
This diorama is a section of a small, manned freight terminal, designed to handle both containerized and RO-RO cargo. A Panamax class container ship is docked at the quay and is ready to be unloaded. In the staging areas of the terminal are the cargo from a recently unloaded RO-RO ship, including a fleet of new cars and some heavy equipment (including a few ultra-class, 400-ton mining trucks). Yard trucks and reach stackers are busy moving containers around the yard, and there are two fully loaded freight trains on the rail spurs ready to pull out.
This micro is based on my favorite Space Police set (6957). It is my second entry for the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick by Brickset.
In the last weeks, I suffered from a broken toe. Therefore I only went for short walks and tried to discover as much as possible the microworld around me.

Halina Micro 110. Simple, minute plastic 110 film camera made by Haking and also sold as the Ansco 50. Fixed focus, shutter and aperture.
Here is my third and final entry to the tips and bricks contest, a microscale build of set 497 Galaxy Explorer. I made sure to include every detail, from the ship to the base and satellite, to even the small rover. It does fit inside the 20x20x20 requirement, and I made sure that the ship does not extend past the base, which is 20 studs long. This was also my first attempt using a new editing software called gimp.
Thanks for checking it out!
TiCN thin CVD coating deposited on a hard metal substrate was milled using a dual beam FIB-SEM to produce a micro-pillar. The surrounding textured walls are the remains of the milled bulk material, which gives an impression of the fictional city "Minas Tirith" in the film "Lord of the Rings".
The micro-pillar will be compressed to investigate the deformation behaviour of such tribological layers.

Remained here viewing the sun on the horizon despite the wind it was actually warm, 6 Celsius. From here we were able to view the dam to the east and the heavy waves on the open St. Lawrence River...
Something I will be using in a build along with the mini Acclamators. I will also be using other mini vehicles in the build.
Design was inspired by someone on MOCpages, but it has just crashed so I can't provide a link.
Enjoy~
The past few months I've had this satellite (just the dish) sitting on my desk, and I couldn't find a use for it in a minifig scale MOC. Then I realized it was much more useful in a micro MOC. I don't normally build micro, but this was a refreshing build, and I hope to build more micro in the future.
