Welcome to Hogsmeade!
It includes all the main features of Hogsmeade; The Three Witches, Honeydukes, Zonko's, The Boar's Head, Tomes and Scrolls, and last but not least the Butterbeer wagon!
Wish I could have spent a lot more time on it, but I was really pressed for time. I want to add a few more things in but I am happy with the result regardless.
Another load of firsts for me with this build, it was great learning experience.
Thanks for following me along with this project :D

Originally was building these for the LEGO microscale contest over on LEGO Ideas, then was like "ah shit, the original soccer field has Adidas logos ALL over it and that's an immediate IP violation, but I'm on to something here, so let's see it out".
This build is microscale versions of the LEGO Soccer sets 3403 (Fans' Grandstand with Scoreboard), 3405 (Blue Team Bus), 3407 (Red Team Bus), and 3409 (Championship Challenge). I've done very little in terms of microscale MOCs, so this was a fun challenge.

Just fiddling around with a Cold War-esque mecha. Started out as being for Mobile Frame Zero, but it is a little too large (in my view, others might not think so.) Still in 7-plate scale, though. Based loosely on the skeleton of this.
The L27 mobile anti-tank gun was introduced into British service in 1959, primarily to provide rapid anti-tank capability against Soviet forces attacking through the Fulda Gap.
Armed with a slightly updated version of the WW2 era 6-pounder Molins Gun and a folding-fin version of the Malkara missile, the L27 was intended to replace towed AT guns operated by the Royal Artillery.
Although it never saw combat use in its intended environment, the vehicle was used in the Konfrontasi in Malaysia/Indonesia and during the Aden Emergency. In both cases, it was manifestly unsuited to the environments it was asked to work in. Some Australian units in Malaysia achieved slight success in replacing the 6-pounder gun with jury rigged cannon from disabled combat aircraft (most frequently the quad 30mm ADEN gun pack from crashed Hawker Hunters.)
Heavily upgraded in the 1970s, the unit received an improved sensor package (the valve technology sensor turret of the 1950s was rugged but bulky), the obsolete Malkaras were replaced with Swingfire missiles, and a Martin-Baker 0 0 ejection seat for the pilot was added. The last L27 squadron was disbanded shortly after the end of the 1990-91 Gulf War.
Since I feel that real spacecraft, satellites, rockets and so on are a bit underrepresented in the Lego community, I created a group for MOCs related to astronautics:

I'm not a fan of mass invites, so please just join if you are also enthusiastic about Space!
I've already sent out a bunch of invites for photos to add to the pool, if you have some suggestions yourself there is a thread for that in the group.
These three trees are “blowups” (to actual Microfig scale) for a larger version of my Microscale Castle.
I enjoyed experimenting with different building techniques for each, and I think I’ve stumbled upon some original ideas. I especially like the asymmetrical structures of the two larger trees.
Inspired by the colonial viper from BSG. The 1 x 2 slope doesn't sit all the way down but does stay attached.
Professor Lidenbrock, Axel and Hans are on their way to the center of the earth. But the road is not so calm.
"Suddenly, at no great distance from us, an enormous mass rises out of the waters—the head of the great Plesiosaurus. The terrible monster is now wounded unto death. I can see nothing now of his enormous body. All that could be distinguished was his serpent-like neck, which he twisted and curled in all the agonies of death. Now he struck the waters with it as if it had been a gigantic whip, and then again wriggled like a worm cut in two. The water was spurted up to a great distance in all directions. A great portion of it swept over our raft and nearly blinded us. But soon the end of the beast approached nearer and nearer; his movements slackened visibly; his contortions almost ceased; and at last the body of the mighty snake lay an inert, dead mass on the surface of the now calm and placid waters.
As for the Ichthyosaurus, has he gone down to his mighty cavern under the sea to rest, or will he reappear to destroy us?" Jules Verne.

More microscale landscaping.
Had this idea for plam trees for a bit and was trying to think of a suitable setting.
The Island is modeled after the small baseplate from the original Pirate sets in 1989, but four times larger.
nothing special, just a very black city. At least I'm using the minifigure bases. Lots of them.

Three Micro-scale buildings in Washington, DC that I built with inspiration from models by Arthur Gugick and J.M. Collaco. I've taken the best from those and incorporated in to mine. Enjoy!
In the last days I made some MOCs with instructions to my job (you can see it here: www.instagram.com/caixadebrinquedos_pdc/). This is one that is to complex to use it so I put here.
Micropolis section with a large water tower. Also includes a building, utility vehicle, and security post.
Exploring the deepest reaches of space.
(Oddly, my absolute favorite micro-ship so far. Maybe it's the colors, which remind me of submersibles like Jason -- thus the ship name. Inverted tipper as hull idea blatantly ripped off of Pierre.)
A fun little micro helicopter inspired by various others, notably Wiseman_Lego's and chandlerparker's. Oh, and a Chinook flew past my house today! :)
These type of apartment buildings are quite ugly, IMO, but they make for some interesting Lego building.
I've been dreaming of building a kickass Zentraedi ship for years but the organic style really kills me. So I gave up and just went with slopes...and I kinda dig it. Just wish I could afford some dark green bricks...
This is my version of KryptonHeidt's wonderful MLAM [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kryptonheidt/4366884852/]
If it gets blown up, you lose.
Introducing concept build:
I think some people have come to value "technique", i.e., SNOT, "NPUUUUU", tiling every damn stud (TEDS) over the actual form and aesthetics of what they are building.
This was purposefully a lo-fi build. It is one of the largest things I have built, but it also has one of the lowest part/volume ratios. I wanted to quickly convey a concept with some bricks I had on hand rather than flesh out everything to the last greeblie. Most everything is is studs-up.
A mini-scaled building in the style of one I did 5 years ago! At the time I thought I'd build more buildings of this size, so I included technic bricks with holes to start some sort of modular mini-scaled street. Then I never got around at building another one, until now! This build took quite a while and has a rather intricate inside to enable diagonal building. I actually explored a lot of different diagonal and SNOT techniques during the process of building this. I might upload a breakdown of the inside and some additional assemblies that didn't make the cut later.
Wow, I can't believe I haven't uploaded anything in six months! Of course, busy is always the excuse, but I must admit I had to rediscover my building motivation a bit. Right now summer is starting and that means I'll have more time to get building again. Hopefully see you soon!
An upgrade to the Tiny Turbo version of my larger fictional Ferrari LMP1 car. Finally found a way to get the shaping I wanted on the sides.
