This is my second try to build a microscale Supermarine Spitfire. I made many improvements to the first version.
When this got MOTD on MOCpages, I decided to post it here since I hadn't posted a picture of it on Flickr.
The Golden Sands Hotel is one of the main attractions of Las LegoVegas. Gold everywhere, makes the client feel rich already ( although we know that gambling will only make you poorer )

My first attempt at micro scale building. Not too happy with the steps but overall learnt a lot for the next build so pretty happy with it.
Made for the Greco-Roman LEGO group micro-mini scale temple challenge.
I had to throw this together in 5 minutes so we had something in the thread!
It's interesting to try out different scales on the models. If they have kept some of the character after all details are gone, and almost reduced to something abstract, I'm happy with composition. This one loses a lot when reduced, but still better than what I expected.
Here are a few views of a fun Microscale version of the LEGO gift-with-purchase set. I really enjoyed trying to capture the structure and energy of the model at this scale.
The section on the left (facing East) shows the main living area, which flows through from the courtyard to the back yard. The section on the right (facing West) shows the kitchen, a loft over an enclosed bathroom, and a work area facing North.

A microscale model of Barcode quarter in Oslo. It was completed in 2016 and consists of a row of tall narrow buildings, hence its name.
The reason I decided to build Barcode is quite simple - I work just opposite, so it has become a very familiar sight.
Modern space-based navies strive to find a balance between starfighters and capital ships. Unlike with the BB-22, which was meant as an anti-fighter platform, the British Royal Navy designed a Frigate capable of engaging other capital ships of similar and larger sizes.
Armed with two underslung anti-fighter flak cannons to combat fightercraft, the Pennyroyal relies on it's three dual-cannon turrets to deal damage against similar-sized craft.
Thin and tall, with two engines for thrust and two to help manoeuvre around, the Pennyroyal is mobile and reasonably nimble. Although large at 160m, the ship can last for some time without resupply, and is a frequent sight patrolling colonies and trade routes on the galactic rim. Few pirate raiders can last a pound-for-pound tussle with the Pennyroyal, which have made it a firm favourite amongst it's crewmen.
However, with no fighter compliment or missile loadout to speak of, the ship can be overwhelmed by many small craft.
Length: 160m
Crew: 63.
Armament: 2 x flak turrets. 1 x double plasma turret. 2 x STS cannons.
Computer: Rolls Royce X-31.
My microscale mosque is part of a Micropolis module. Next to the mosque are a block of three large 1930s family homes with bay windows and a row of modern family homes.
Hopefully I can add some better quality photos later.
The police HQ, unlike The Rockaway, was not based on a real building. It was based on what was abundant in the Pick-A-Brick wall. ;-)
another building from my London microscale set.
as in most of my builds, this is the evolution of an earlier meh MOC, uglier and darker.
The Almen is a newer version (B variant) of the Adeiffen-Class Heavy Battlecruiser.

The Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battle Cruiser is arguably the strongest warships in the galaxy and was the Concero Republics strongest vessel until the Tramendant-Class Battlecruiser. Its original design dates back to the First Piracy War when UPS forces (Union of Planetary States) called for a large battle cruiser capable of launching at least five-hundred fighter craft into battle. Jixn Shipyards jump at the chance to build such a ship. However, the Jixn Shipyard design was declined by UPS forces, and instead they went with the battle tested Tronde Shipyards new [name] battlecruiser. The Adeiffen design went into the “designers vault” and there it stayed for almost a century. During the Second Piracy War the Jixnor Democracy realized that it was lacking a true, modern battle cruiser capable of flagship status – so it called its most trusted shipwright, Jixn Shipyards, to manufacture a large battle cruiser. Jixn Shipyard struggled to find a design capable of accomplishing everything the Jixnor Democracy called for. After many agonizing weeks of failed designs and sleepless nights the Jixn Shipyard board of design, in desperation, began looking at all its failed and past designs in the “designers vault” and stumbled onto the plans of the Adeiffen-Class battle cruiser. Jixn Shipyard greatly changed the ships interior, but did little to the exterior except add four burst cannons and addition point defense systems. The century old Adeiffen was an amazingly modern design.
The Adeiffen-Class has the amazing capability to carry over one-thousand fighter craft and their pilots. This is all due to the Adeiffens large hanger bay that runs almost the entire length of the ship. This impressive amount of fighter craft gives the Adeiffen an enormous advantage over the conventional battle cruiser. But the large hanger bay and numerous fighters do come at a cost of decreased fire power and power in general, and more facilities are needed to house the pilots and service crews for the fighter craft. The large amount of fighter craft also call for a large control center to insure all one-thousand fighter craft are use efficiently and run smoothly. Thus the Adeiffen has a second bridge located toward the bow of the craft, right above the hanger bay doors. This second bridge is larger than the primary bridge and is used exclusively for fighter craft purposes.
Like all Jixnor warships the Adeiffen has exceptional maneuverability, a fast lightspeed engine and slow sublight speed. It does however, lack two of the key staples of many Jixnor warships, the ability fly in an atmosphere, and missile tubes. The Adeiffen was the most maneuverable battlecruiser until the America-Class Battlecruiser (which really was a mini-battlecruiser and not a true battlecruiser). The Adeiffen could run circles around older Trynin warships, and was more maneuverable than most Trynin frigates. One of the reasons for the Adeiffens exceptional maneuverability is due to its external engine braking systems which can redirect the ion thrust up to ninety degrees and with the help of magnetic thrust vectors it can redirect the ion thrust up to one-hundred thirty degrees. These thrust vectors allow the Adeiffen to have a high reverse speed.
The weapons aboard the Adeiffen are formidable to say the least. Twenty-four Hinton cannons all effectively positioned to provide an pure fire arc give the Adeiffen no blind spots to speak of – and as if that’s not enough the Adeiffen has over six-hundred point defense systems! The Adeiffen is also one of the first Concero Republic vessels that supports the new burst cannons without any modifications.
The Adeiffens two bow appendages house the battery banks, the communications array, numerous sensor arrays, and housing for up to two marine groups. The aft appendages house the engines, additional living quarters, and batter banks for the lightspeed engine. The appendages are vital to the survival of the vessel which makes them prime targets in battle; but they are more than adequately armored, and the Adeiffen can more than manage if one or even two are destroyed. Another amazing thing about the Adeiffen is that its appendages are easily interchangeable between ships. This allows heavily damaged Adieffen-Class vessels to be repaired rather than scrapped, it also allows for faster repair time. It does however allow for some colorful mismatches and since most Jixnor captains are zealous when it comes to their ships many Adeiffen-Class vessels, when idol, are in a shipyard getting a paint job done.
Approximately twenty Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruisers were built and only two were destroy (but not forgot for the two destroyed vessels were stripped of their appendages which serve aboard other Adeiffen-Class vessels). Only two subgroups were manufacture, the Adeiffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruiser which is the one being described, and the other the Amaffen-Class Ultra-Heavy Battlecruiser. Nineteen Adeiffen-Class cruisers and one Amaffen-Class cruiser were built. The Amaffen is a slightly larger version of the Adeiffen and feature over twelve-thousand fighter craft, a class four shield generator, and eight additional Hinton cannons; it also feature a more efficient power supply and an upgraded electronic systems. The Amaffen served as the Jixnor Democracy’s flagship during the entire Agronomic War but was replace by the Rander (a Tramendant-Class Battlecruiser) once the war ended. However, in the event the Rander is called upon by the Concero Republic, there is no doubt that the Amaffen will once again serve as the Jixnor Democracy’s flagship.
An Adeiffen-Class vessel has served in every single battle during the Agronomic War, including both Battles of Blandimen and the invasion of Est Fellen. It served the Concero Republic well during the Agronomic War and there is no doubt that it will continue to serve the Jixnor Democracy and its allies for years to come. The Jixnor Democracy is currently updating the current fleet of Adeiffen-Class vessels with new electronics and more efficient power supplies. There are even rumors that the Jixnor Democracy plans on increasing the Adeiffen fleet from eighteen vessels to forty-eight! The Adeiffen will no doubt be around long enough to squelch whatever adversary crosses the Jixnor Democracy!
I have been wanting to make a car for a long time. But i can't seem to get the larger scale ones right. So i figured I would start off with what I do best, Microscale.
So here is my first 4-wide car.
It is supposed to be a modernized roadster with Mercedes Benz influences.
The rate of progress has slowed somewhat now that most of what I have left to do is detail work and closing up odd gaps left by the triangular geometry. The big update is that I have mostly covered the front now, though there is an awkward triangular gap in the very centre of the front I am left to resolve. It is tempting to just cram it with antenna etc but I don’t think that would really suit the overall aesthetic. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
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
My fourth block for Swebricks microscale city Pluppsala. Plupp is Swedish for stud, and sala is a suffix for Swedish cities.
This block includes Great West Hotel, headquarters of Arctic Research Center and Brick Fever Records.
The Oroso Conclave have the most careful, defence-minded and tactical military forces of the known races, outside of the Vonn. Their priority lies squarely in defence, their fightcraft lack FTL ability. Instead, they need to land on a 'mother' ship or be stored on a rack in transport.
The T'frr is the primary fightercraft fielded by the Conclave; it is nimble, capable and well-armed against a variety of threats with wing and chin mounted cannons.
Although reasonably small, the ship needs two crew. In common with most Oroso, the crew of a T'frr live and exist in very close quarters. This closeness is key to their relationship and fighting ability; if one of a pilot-pair dies or is unable to fight again, the other often struggles to adjust back to military life.
The T'frr served admirably against the European Union forces during the brief Human-Oroso conflict, bested only by the late introduction of Grendel Squadron.
Manufacturer: Oroso Combine
Role: HG/RG-Fighter
Length: 8m
Crew: 2
Weaponry: 3 x Autocannons
Shields/Armour: Light/Medium
FTL: Incapable
No decent-sized town is complete without a zoo! Visitors can see monkeys, polar bears, giraffes and more! Or visit the reptile house! Fun for the entire family!
Five standard ST-07 B-model 'Chub' Mobile Frames of the 1109th Terran Expeditionary Marines 'Royal Blues' in mission loadout in the early phases of the Triangular War on Planet Melocotón. Hopefully a worthy tribute to Soren 's Chub design.

I've wanted to use these technic pieces for a while, but Jameson42's Martian Fighter is what really prompted me to do so.
The TRD- 1 serves as a regional exploration and reconnaissance dropship for the Tolsat Commune, a small colony on the moon of Tanthis IV. Because of a resource-rich environment, and their normally peaceful lifestyle, the Commune has had difficulty with the Kaanan Confederacy encroaching upon their territories from the Inner Belt in an effort to gain economical influence within the Ignus Star System. Because of the Confederacy's direct violation of the Intra-system Concordance Agreement Act, Tanthis Prime has decided to directly fund the actions of the Commune's growing militia in an effort to prepare them in the event of small-scale war.
So far, patroling the Tolsat regions on Tanthis IV has served to keep interactions down to a level of minor conflict, but news of a newly redesigned Kaanan Starfighter is setting the Tanthis Plantary System abuzz, reaching as far as the Outer Belt.
