If you've got lots of those pulley wheels and droid torsos, you can make quite a few variations of this.

A micro-scale smart car. A friend of mine owns a smart so when I created these she insisted that I build an all-black one to match her car! It's not in the photo because it's on her dashboard :)
Little bit of randomness I built last weekend. This was the first time I actually used the Maersk blue parts from the train I bought several years ago.
Seems like the square crew section needs to be longer. If I get the motivation I might play with that.
Formation en micro-jardinage de l’Association du personnel de la FAO Sénégal à l’arrière-cour de la Représentation sous le parrainage du projet «Capitalisation de la technologie des microjardins de la Ville de Dakar». Pendant la première phase, la formatrice est revenue sur l’origine du micro-jardinage créé par le Colombien César Marulanda avant d’expliquer les compositions et le rôle du substrat utilisé, les différents types de graines, les techniques de repiquage et d’arrosage, l’utilité des éléments nutritifs comme le compost, ainsi que la protection des cultures contre maladies et parasites, avec l’utilisation de pesticides. La seconde phase a permis au personnel de passer à la pratique en semant, sur les tables de culture, plusieures espèces dont la laitue, l’aubergine, le poivron, la tomate, etc. ©FAO/Ousseynou Diop

*They may look like monsters from a horror film, but these tiny creatures
inhabit our homes, clothes and even our bodies. A new book, 'Micro
Monsters', showcases some of the planet's most horrible insects and
microscopic beasts. British author and trained zoologist, Tom Jackson, spent
three months compiling the images in the book. Scientists coated the tiny
creatures in gold, froze them in liquid nitrogen and fired a beam of
electrons at the subjects from a scanning electron microscope to reveal the
incredible detail*

*"I wanted to get together all the most gruesome and beastly pictures I
could," said 38 year-old Tom from Bristol. "This book shows children
everything that's around them at home, the garden and the playground."*

*"The pictures I'm most pleased with are the close-up portraits of insects
that show the intricate details of their eyes, mandibles and even the hairs
on their heads," said Tom*

*In scanning electron microscopy, a beam of electrons is fired at the
subjects. Electrons have shorter wavelengths than lights waves so smaller
objects can be captured.*

Earlier this summer we planted some grape vines to enhance our trellis. They will hopefully do a more friendly job than the previous plant.
Which was an oriental wisteria that was beautiful but was trying to pull the whole house down.
We mulched the area with compost and a few surprise plants sprung up. Mostly tomatoes, but a small vine was also launched.
Turns out it was a watermelon. This is one of the micro-melons being shot by a pellet. I only had one shot and this was it.
Cheers.
