Now that the winds and currents that were carrying tsunami debris to our beach have flagged, I've shifted the focus of my beachcombing to the macro level.
I'd heard the ocean was full of plastic, but until I began digging through the piles of beach grass and twigs at the high-tide line I didn't know how much of it consists of tiny fragments.
From a distance, I must look like a foraging seabird turning debris over in search of food.
What I'm actually doing is lifting the organic debris and shaking it. Every time I do that, bits of plastic come into view. Blue and white are the most common colors, followed by green. Yellow and red are scarcest.
I've placed them in bowl of water to separate them from the sand that was clinging to them. The sand sinks while the plastic floats. I also remove the organic materials on the surface.
What were the sources of these tiny fragments? Did wave action and sunlight make them break down? How long did it take them to become that small?
I am filling a transparent glass vase with micro-plastics. I anticipated it would take a long time for the collection to reach the top, but now I anticipate having to start a new container next week.
Crocheted this tiny sheep. I used the same method as popcorn, sewing individual balls onto the body.
The Tantive IV was the last and biggest ship on my micro scale to-do list. Its close to the size of set 75244 but I’ve aimed to give it a lot more detail and accuracy. I've done my best to make sure each hull section is the right size and proportions with as much detail as possible.
The modular hull sections are connected to an internal Technic frame. The ship is strong, pretty easy to pick up (as long as you avoid those fins) and rests firmly on a small stand which can easily be made taller or a different colour. Inside the Technic frame is the ship interior and crew! The two roof sections can be removed to reveal the main corridor which connects the cockpit to the docking bays near the engines. The upper deck also comes off to show a central conference room with engineering corridors and removable escape pods either side. The 4-stud high crew and interior features aren’t to scale sadly, but hopefully they stand out as a nice extra feature for the ship!
This was by far the biggest and heaviest moc I’ve attempted so far, it was a new challenge for me but I really enjoyed the process. I’ve put instructions for this and the Liberator colour scheme on Rebrickable (link below), and thrown in the Millennium Falcon, Ghost and plenty of Rebel Starfighters in the hope that someone likes it enough to make a little Rebel fleet :)

An entry into the micro castle category of the CCC. Nothing elaborate here, another micro version of one of my previous builds: as there's been a ton of really strong entries to this category already, and I'm not interested in the prize.
So mainly, just a fun quicky. Still have a few more entries to come :)
Lego Ideas offers now a fun ship in the bottle set. The bottle looks awesome but the ship wasn't my cup of tea. So I came up with my own micro scale interpretation of a Lego pirate ship. Dimensions (minus the cannon fire) are compatible with the bottle from set 21313.
Quick sketch (from photo) from our micro meet-up in Sydney!
It feels good to draw again after a couple months of not doing so!
Using 318 magic and travis bricks to fit parts that do not follow brick math. Non purists can cut the support tubes to length for perfect fit.
Because I love micro!
Not 100% sold on the use of that particular water technique here, but maybe it gives it a bit of a forced perspective vibe?
Oh, and SNOT is so annoying at this level. The amount of unattached pieces here is horrifying. Did I mention this was a pain?
And I can't recommend taking pictures under a sheet in 100 degree weather...
I started this about a year ago, but forgot about, and only just got around to finishing. Hope you like it!
Una de las cosas maravillosas de Valdivia es poder tomar una micro (un bus) a Niebla y ver el río Calle Calle. ¡Es un espectáculo hermoso!
One of the wonderful things about Valdivia is that you can take a micro (bus) to Niebla and see the Calle Calle river. It's a beautiful sight!
TGIF everyone!

The past few months I've had this satellite (just the dish) sitting on my desk, and I couldn't find a use for it in a minifig scale MOC. Then I realized it was much more useful in a micro MOC. I don't normally build micro, but this was a refreshing build, and I hope to build more micro in the future.

It is always challenging photographing the blue ringed octopus swimming. The autofocus system always has trouble at night picking up on this micro octopus
Blue Ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata)

The blue rings become intense when aggrevated. Extremely venomous, can be fatal to humans!
