A workhorse of the New Republic, the Badger airframe is used primarily as close air support below orbit, and for strafing runs against capital ships once it has reached zero gravity. Though slow, and not very agile, the badger packs a punch with twin 70mm vulcan cannons, and heavy armor plating.
Ever since I first saw Ulrik Hansen's wonderful Copenhagen model (www.flickr.com/photos/ulrikbrick/albums/72157686587763290), I've been playing with the idea of using those techniques... so here's a small attempt at that. Of course it's Billund and it's 1954 because a map is available (map.krak.dk/?c=55.731508%2C9.114313&z=18&l=historic) and it will be easy to expand even in parts of the town not covered by the usual photos. I went for muted colors because all I have as reference are black and white photos and that black and white map. Also white buildings look great, in my opinion!
A huge thanks to Ulrik for the idea and the cool techniques!
a couple more views of the splendid Mr Blobby House.
see here for the foll set and the background story
Casa Blanca Lego Architecture Studio House with pastel coloured landscaping. • Casual photos for now - I plan to upload formal photos with a “proper” backdrop.
When the war came to the Antarion IV, the factories became a significant target for heavy bombers of the enemy faction. As a result, each factory was upgraded to defend itself and ultimately the factories on Antarion IV became as heavily armed as the war machines they produced.

This microscale vignette was created for the Eurobricks Micro Sci-Fi contest.
Buildings, from highest to shortest:
Imperium Domus (translates to the Empires House): The Imperium Domus is the tallest, free standing structure in the galaxy. It was constructed from 2016-2020. Imperium Domus is the Trynin Empires political center; it houses mayoral meetings, the judicial branch, and the senate sessions. It’s also were the Grand Mayor of Trynin dwells. Imperium Domus is also the nerve center for the Trynin Empire’s military and numerous other bureaucratic branches.
Iosisse Building: the Iosisse Building is the headquarters of Iossise Tech., the galaxies largest non-military technological development company.
Nelworth Tower: the Nelworth Tower is the headquarters for Tran Incorporated & Son’s; the galaxies largest producer when it comes to ground vehicles.
Tronde Tower & the Lel Building: Tronde Tower is the civilian headquarters for the galaxies largest corporation, Tronde Shipyard. The Lel Building is military headquarters for Tronde Shipyard.
Wisslove Building: the Wisslove Building is the headquarters and test site of Weston Speeders Inc., the largest small vehicular company in the galaxy.
Ranter Testing and Managerial Building (RTM building): Headquarters for Ranter Tec., the galaxies largest starfighter manufacturer.
Tiren Office House: is the headquarters for the Tiren Engine Company, the galaxies number one producer of ion engines, selonic cells, light-jump engines, and shields.
Wellron-L Building: headquarters for the galaxies largest producer of laser weaponry.
Bank of Condorenne: oldest and largest banking firm in the galaxy.
Lend Office: an office complex that is rented out to thousands of firms and houses some of the galaxies leading financial firms.
Mall of Trynin: holds the largest concentration of commercial business in the galaxy, well of four million business occupant over a fifty mile stretch!
This was the second one I built, and probably my least favourite. I like the negative space design, but I could totally see it as a military gunship far more than a racer. But it's still cool, I guess.
This time not a space build.
I need a microscale sailing ship for next things, and this is it. Took me a lot of effort taking into account the number of bricks. And I like the result.
This is rendered image. Built in Studio program (I don't have all these bricks so far).

More of the microscale I have lying around. Some kind of off road explorer, I'm not even sure which is the front end.
I was inspired to make a micro scale castle today. And here is the end result.
I haven't posted much of anything recently, life has been pretty busy. But that doesn't mean that I haven't been building. I have been working on a technic uh-1h/1b huey, and it is still very much a WIP.
More pictures to come soon.
I could use any suggestions for a name for the castle.

A plateau that could be the remainder of a volcano in the desert, with nice forests on it and an Elven castle.
another view of my microscale set of riverside London buildings.
more pics in my photo stream ... and did you notice I've done a similar set for Milano ?
After seeing sooo many great microscale mechs lately (Pascal, Nate, Dave and Shannon's work comes to mind), I was inspired to build something from my pile of unsorted bricks. The Vofleman is a long range plasma cannon marksman able to lay down heavy fire from great distances. Two cannons fired one by one help to prevent overheating while maintaining a heavy barrage.
The Drenner E-51, while highly outdated now, pioneered the now-common "isolation" method of mining, in which the surrounding rock is vaporized using low-intensity bolts and the material is gathered via tractor beam and sent to the aft processing unit.
This craft must be used in tandem with a shipping barge, as it has no internal holds of its own.

Discovered this a while ago, though this is my first attempt at using them in an MOC. So using a combination of rubber bands on the studs can help create interesting patterns especially when displaying the anti studs. In terms of usefulness, I can imagine these looking great as a hexagonal panel background or as landing pads as I have used them.

The Raptor Class light cruiser forms the backbone of the Cerulos Navy. lightly armed, but highly maneuverable, it is always an unwelcome sight to ne'er-do-wells
The last of my freighters for now and the first one I built. Bonus commentary here: ktorrek.blogspot.com/2019/05/crafting-challenge-week-5.html
This is my Grandad's house rendered in LEGO on a micro scale. It was a present for him on Christmas 2013. :-)
I have many fond memories of Christmases spent here. Notice the striped lawns, the golden retrievers in the front garden, the half-tile brackets on the garage doors, and not one, not two but three chimneys!
The Northern Barracks give soldiers a small reprieve from the horrors of war away from the main battlegrounds. The small compound is enclosed except for a loading zone for supplies and other sundries. A large spotlight aids visibility for nocturnal deliveries and deliveries during inclement weather.
The radio tower is a staple of this small community. It transmits and receives important information to the resting infantry, including news from home and updates from the war front.
continuing the series of Architecture-inspired sets, here is London riverside : Houses of Parliament, MI6, Millenium Wheel and the Shard
I have seen several London microscale MOCs but none that has the Shard yet. So, I hope this is original enough ...
btw, one of my favourites is the little build by Elspeth De Montes I found on the VeloVixen blog
and if you like this, have a look further down in my photo stream for the Milano microscale set
Left is South. The courtyard is the entrance to the house and also screens out the southern sun. The main living area opens into both the courtyard and the back yard. As you can see it's a quite small house, for one or two.

Alpha Sigma 3 was a planet with abundant oil producing bacteria, so successful was this life form that after millions of years the planet was covered in huge oceans of oil. Unfortunately the planet was hit by a rogue moon that smashed it to pieces.
Humanity arrived millions of years later and discovered the seas of oil had frozen into asteroids of all sizes.
Soon the petroleum companies arrived, this is a dust scanning ship for seeking out new rich sources of hydrocarbons.
Finally digitized this creation. It has a few more fixes, namely a more clear interior, folding fins, better guns, and rear landing gear. The arms also move up and down at the shoulder area slightly but I forgot to animate that. There are instructions for this model here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47640/TheRealBeef1213/prowler
here is a animation of the new pods in action: imgur.com/8LIaAfc
Made for the 3T Challenge over at the Mobile Frame Hangar. The challenge was to create an MFZ mech without using a travis brick, tap, or t-piece.
Built in about 20 minutes whilst watching the European GP.
Contsructing microscale mecha without those bits many of us use to create articulation is an interesting challenge. One the best builds that has come out of the 'contest' is the Bullfrog . You should check it out.
