Jamie Berard backed my Kickstarter project at a level that got him a minifig cameo in my latest animation. I couldn't resist putting an in-joke in it so I had him building a micro version of the mini modulars set he designed.
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. ;-)
Foundry's Brisingr Class Lite Picket Destroyer-
This variant was intended for extended missions in deep space patrolling the outlying borders. These destroyers sport an experimental drive design that is the most efficient ever created. Not many were completed when the shipyards around planet Foundry were destroyed so they are prized by fleet commanders.

1/4 µp Microspace Destroyer
Due to the size of the flagship I needed very small ships to represent the escort ships. My intention was to have an elongated escort similar to the flagship.
Plan to add stickers to finalize the build.
A microscale modernist family home of my own design, with influences from various mid 20th Century architects.
I like this one a lot. Used pretty much every lime slope I own, too. Not really much to say about this, only that I enjoy the angles everywhere, and the hidden intakes behind the curved wings are really cool.

Tronde Shipyard created the MP-1 Liquid Transport after the First Piracy War. The big boom in trade during the Selumm Grande Proclur (the Age of Grand/Great Excellence) period was a time when many shipyards began producing bigger, simpler, and efficient transport vessels. Indeed, practically all of Tronde Shipyards F series fit that description – big and reliable. The MP-1 in particlur is a very simple, modular design. However, this also means many of the vital systems aren’t as highly advanced or effective resulting in slow speed and sluggish maneuverability – nonetheless it is an effective design.
The MP-1 is easily convertible (the MP stands for multipurpose). In fact most MP-1 around today have been converted into grain transport vessels. This versatility, along with some other factors (mainly the big hangar bay) have led to numerous military purchases as support/supply vessels. Of the four-hundred MP-1s that were produced over fifty went to military services.
The Trialsite and five other “sister” ships were bought by the Trynin Empire and reconfigured to hold all manner of supplies from water and foodstuff and can even function as a tanker. Most military MP-1s also received an upgraded weapon and defense system. During the Agronomic War the Trialsite was employed by the Trynin Empire as a support vessel for the 1st Fleet, Left Wing, 4th Battle Group. The Trialsite saw action during the Battle of Varn and was severely crippled as her captain and crew engaged the Almen in the hopes of allowing her battlegroup to escape from the advancing Concero forces. After the war the Trialsite and her sister ships were sold to various shipping companies in favor of Tronde Shipyards future G series transports. Today the Trialsite has the shipping label HG-21 and is in the service of United Lend Shipping. She’s used as a multipurpose supply vessel, transporting overstocked supplies between warehouses on various systems.
Not as excited about this one. I got the idea for the engines and tail and thought sure I could make good use of it, but I just couldn't get the front half to come together.
The Motorola J2-12 is an tropospheric survey ship. It uses a mag drive to control its hover altitude and velocity. Normally the J2-12 is dropped from orbit, and then picked up once the survey is complete. Usually, it is used for hi-resolution local surveys, as planetary surveys are easier to accomplish from orbit.

For some reason, I'm incapable of building in color...

Made for Lug'est labyrinth activity.
Entry is fixed by previous builder. The exit is my choice, let's climb to the top.
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.
This small MOC was my christmas gift to my wife. Represents a small propriety that we bought some months ago.
This is the perfect way to plan a new house there :)
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
This moc represents the World of Game of Thrones! It's a build of the contient Westeros with it's most famous locations and castles in microscale!
Trains built for my microscale train station (www.flickr.com/photos/rt_bricks/8546182660/in/set-7215763...). Each engine/car is detachable. They actually slide in the rails of the microscale tracks, but of course, do not go around corners at all well.
The main building at Gettysburg College (originally Pennsylvania College). It originally served as dormitory, academic building, library, offices and chapel. During the battle at Gettysburg, the college's edifice was used as a hospital for more than 700 wounded rebel soldiers.

This model took a couple tries, with the portico being the starting point each time. Half-stud offsets give the portico just enough space, but not quite too much. I've always hated the solution of lightsabre blades which were used on the 21006 White House, as it makes the model look entirely out of scale and quite childish. These columns have some necessary beef and substance to them.
Here's something entirely different form me. More pictures at Eurobricks here.
Oh how I wish LDD updates were a thing, so many new pieces to explore!
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. Aside from the technic pieces everything is is studs-up.

The AG-23 sees widepsread use around the more verdant colonies and worlds of the galaxy, assisted by it's camo paintjob and heat deflecting armour plating.
Crewed by two, the AG-23 is a successor to many terrestrial aircraft tasked in attacking ground targets. The '23 is at home in the vacuum of space, as well as within 'atmo.
Primarily armed with it's chin-gun, the ship can be equipped with a variety of under-wing warheads and mines.
Easily outmanoeuvred by smaller starfighters, and lacking any lightspeed capability, the '23 is not without it's flaws, but is well used and well liked by various galactic military forces and garrisons.
