"Compliments of the chief."
I've been wanting to try my hand at microscale building for some time now, I've got a growing pile of stickers I've never used, and I was in a funny mood last night. This was fun! :-)

joined to the block with hotel & arcade this makes my first attempt at making a more ambitious composite micro-seaside.

A pair of microscale space escort frigates -- the Valiant and Charon. These gun platforms guard carriers and other capital ships in convoys.
A commission I did a few years ago for Elemental in their old building. Sam also asked for the rest of the Broadway block face.
Small freighter usually used as a ferry between huge interstellar freighters or starbases and a planet's surface.
And it has a nice color scheme :)
Ma ville en miniature, grosse prise de tête! Du coup admiration au max pour les afols qui pratiquent le microscale!
quick upload to show that I'm not just being lazy this weekend. I'm building !
p.s. I'm posting this to the LEGo Film, Tv and literature group because it is linked to a TV programme. But I'm not saying more.

The Pasconis T-X1 Military Tanker is the Fiston Republics current military refueling vessel. She is one of the largest of its kind and is the Fiston Republics sole military refueling vessel. Shortly before the Second Piracy War the Pasconis was contracted out secretly to Ununillon Shipyards with the hope that this small private shipwright would be able to build the Pasconis “under the radar”. But due to strict regulations with the Jixnor Democracy the Pasconis was revealed to Jixnor Democracy. However, the Jixnor Democracy didn’t want to make a political mess out of the situation and agreed to allow the Fiston Republic to build the vessel secret. The Pasconis took over eight years to build; financial battles within the Fiston Republic and the Second Piracy War prohibited the full amount of resources to be committed to such a project. Only well after the Second Piracy War was over, combined with the fear of a growing Trynin military, did the Fiston Republic finally finish the Pasconis in late 2070.
The Pasconis is armed just well enough to discourage pirates and repel spacecraft attack. She has no Hinton cannons or Burst cannons, she is only armed with just enough point defenses to provide a full firing arc and more than two dozen 5in anti-ship laser to repel small cruisers. She relies on a battle group of two Raret-Class Light-Cruiser’s and one Rittonin-Class Battlecruiser for protection from large vessels.
The Pasconis is equipped with a very small hanger bay to accommodate up to twelve spacecraft; this makes moving supplies and crew easier.
The Pasconis suffers from poor maneuverability and speed. But the Pasconis does not need to be fast and manuerveralbe – she just has to hold lots of fuel. The Pasconis isn’t the largest refueling vessel in the galaxy but she is the most modern and as a result holds the most fuel among the mobile tankers in this galaxy. Her battery banks are incased in 4ft of a protective aluminum alloy to protect herself and others from her dangerous concentration of selonic cells. She also has a Class 4 shield generator and 1ft thick armor plating to ensure her ability to survive an attack until help can arrive.
The Pasconis was kept secret to all but the highest governing officials within the Fiston Republic and the Jixnor Democracy. During the Second Piracy War pirates captured the Trynin Empire’s military refueling vessel, overloaded the selonic cell banks and took out seven Trynin vessel in the resulting explosion; every nation since has build or maintained their military refueling vessels in secret. Two years of the Agronomic War was information leaked to public about the Pasconis and her life. The Pasconis has spent most of her active career docked at a Fiston military R&D facility in wide orbit of Patri Proclur far away from the Agronomic War and out of sight from any other prying eyes. She refueled only a dozen or so ships during the Agronomic War until the [push toward Trynin] assault; the Pasconis was called to the frontline to refuel the flagship of the Concero Republic, the Rander-Class Battlecruiser. This was her only active military mission on record.
The communication array aboard the Pasconis is state of the art providing it with logistical means of tracking all the vessels in the Concero Republic fleet calculating how much fuel has been used and when vessels need to be refueled. She is also a very useful data point, providing a secure server to relay information between Concero Republic resources.
The design of the Pasconis has not yet been truly tested but the Fiston Republic plans on building five more; one for itself and it plans on selling the other four to the Jixnor Democracy, the U.E.C, and the Trynin Empire. Even though the design of the Pasconis has not been truly tested the design shows promise.
Inspired by a recent post by Guido Martin-Brandis (in turn inspired by an earlier model by Blake Foster), I took a few "chainsaw handles" (part 2516) and build these not-quite-as-micro ships around them (although at least one of them could now be marginally improved by replacing it again ;-)).
Another view on the launching!
This mech was kind of influenced by memories of the Archer mech from back in the days of playing Battletech!
