Old fashioned, literally rough and ready container transport making friends, enemies and profits through the lawless frontier.
This is a microscale version of the Cat Bus from the Miyazaki movie "My Neighbor Totoro". It's part of my "Miyazakitopia" diorama for BrickCon 2010.
If you're wondering why I decided to make the Cat Bus so small, it's because the thing that it'll be flying around is frikking huge!

New Moc based on the Harry Potter Universe
-----------------------------------------
Harry, Ron and Hermione come back to Hogwarts for a new year. They took the Hogwarts Carriage at Hogsmeade. It is pulled by Thestrals, skeletal winged horses that only people who have seen death can see.
------------------------------------------
I tried something new in this new creation: the perspective (and microscale): the carriage is getting smaller and smaller on the scene. To the left, the trees are following the perspective and are getting smaller and smaller . To the right, the trees are on the first plan, so they can't be on the scale of perspective.
At the center, i built a microscale Hogwarts.
------------------------------------------
The perspective give me the possibilty to build a landscape without using billion of bricks.
It was the first time that I had used perspective and microscale. It's up to you to tell me if it's successful.
I still have to improve myself on it to produce new creations
------------------------------------------
See you soon for a next creation

Here's my attempt at a microscale build of Red Spacecat's USS Saratoga Destroyer.
I didn't have enough bright green cheese, so olive green will have to do. Some details aren't quite right, but its challenging to condense a SHIP into 16 studs long.
This is sized to be compatible with Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit
[If anybody has ANY critiques about my build or especially my photography and lighting, PLEASE let me know :) It would be most appreciated. I need to improve on both.]
From left to right: Support unit (sniper); soldier unit; command unit; soldier unit; close combat unit.
All variants on the Landmate Mk2 Assault Version.
The poorness of the photo should serve as a reminder to me that I really, really need to build a much bigger lightbox. Like, one that will actually fit more than two tiny mecha, for example.
Typical accomodation for humankind within the developed Core Worlds. Designed in the circular style of Alanis Ferr, this type of home was popular on new colonies like New Kansas.
The main level has the panoramic view whilst storage and bedrooms tend to be above and below the windowed section.
this is not just another microscale suburban street. No. this is inspired by an item in the news some time ago, see BBC News
:-)
Semi-exclusive; there's a lot of back-and-forth along the Marksist border, so kit tends to end up getting spread about.
Not complete, either; most of what I've made has been quite heavy, and there's a deficit of 20- to 45-tonners.
Trying to figure out how to add those little mouseover text box things; they seem to have changed things and it's a bloody nuisance. Say what you will about Mocpages being outdated, but at least Sean's buttons don't move around.
So: left to right, front to back:
First row: Hydra - 55t line/strike, un-named hunter-killer - 25t, Helhound - 80t assault, Culverinier - 80t fire support, Chimera - 65t strike/command/assault.
Second row: World Serpent "Rommel" - 75t line/assault, longer-ranged Hydra variant - 55t line, un-named superheavy - 95t assault, Tempest CA - 80t fire support and a variation to fit captured machines into Coalition doctrine rather than a factory build.
Third row: Lucerne - 60t strike/assault, Sagittarius - 40t strike/fire support, World Serpent "Belisarius" - 75t line, World Serpent "Lee" - 75t line/fire support.
They aren't sorted in any particular way, and the World Serpents are more like tech demonstrators than line machines; really nasty, but too expensive for full production without further research.
I use an out-dated version of LDD, and it looks like the newer one you have to convert files with to make Pov-Ray cooperate doesn't like what I did with the Culverinier's knees. Some pointless edit to the revolver's collision mesh someone made somewhere along the line.
Built for New Elementary Parts Festival, inspired by the Duomos of Florence and Milan.
See here for details on parts usage and build process.
This was a challenge I made for myself: make a microscale Tantive IV using as many pieces as possible from Ambush in Cairo. I'm happy with how it turned out.
Appearing without The Dominos
Ya gotta be an oldie to remember them, Derek and The Dominos (and an Eric Clapton fan ) XD
Washburn is the US capital city of New Kansas, Kepler System. True to it’s namesake, New Kansas is a fertile farming world from which a wide variety of crops are cultivated and animals raised. Settlements range from small, old fashioned farms to large, mechanised outposts of synchronised machines and technology.
Washburn is the hub for all manner of activity; business, education and pleasure. It is the port by which New Kansas feeds a large proportion of the Core Worlds. The city is home to several of the top biochemical and veterinary colleges of their kind. A giant spaceport sits on the outskirts of the city, big enough to accommodate the larger interplanetary barges for the transfer of crops and livestock. There is also quite the lively nightlife; most of these bars and cantinas centre around the American Cool Revival trend. They feature music and décor reminiscent of American days gone by.
There exists a quiet acrimony the settlers who reside solely within Washburn and the more isolated farmers. The latter consider their city-based fellows stuck-up and pretentious. The former consider the farming population crass and uncultured.
The city is home to the New Kansas Senator, when she is not involved in democratic discussions back on Earth. Although officially neutral during the Pan-Eurasian War, several of the large farmers sold food to the under-siege Coalition population of Kepler II. One side of the story paints the farmers as saving the lives of starving children. The reality was that rich agricultural groups made huge profits breaking a neutrality clause set by the government. The US investigation into the food smuggling found no person or organisation culpable is considered a whitewash by the Coalition.

The front view is here and, I'm afraid, I'll upload lots more pics in the next few days ...
These Eco-skyscrapers are an example of an emerging trend in architecture. Create environmentally friendly structures that reduce the environmental impact of new developments. This development features lush landscaping on the roof tops of the buildings as well as the two "sky bridges". There are numerous trees on the grounds as well as ponds and a community garden and solar panels.
A small, swift missile frigate used by the Galactic Armada for taking down capital ships. While it does have devastating firepower its fatal flaw is its lack of weapons against fast smaller ships like starfighters. You never know when a bold starfighter pilot could send a proton torpedo down this ship's exhaust port...
Not really satisfied with the back end. Oh well.
Just wanted to upload this before I leave on my trip. Bye.
Kind of something like maybe like a landmate or something from Appleseed. Who knows?
Anyway, the legs are heavily, heavily inspired by (or, another way, 'ripped off from') Will. So, chapeau to him for some great designs.
In Mobile Frame Zero terms, these would be in the scale where a 6ft tall human would equate to 2 bricks + 1 plate in height. Mobile Frame Hangar for thread can be found here.
More on this trainstation on its album!!!
Also download the LDD file for this and more MOC´s on my mediafire folder
www.mediafire.com/folder/6bj5xlxjzp3ww/Lego
After a whole week of building and fine detailing i finished my biggest MOC and yet its microscale, its a full featured trainstation build around the micro train system showcased before here www.flickr.com/photos/wray2064/16408908858/
It uses all the variations of the trains set inside a massive half meter long building, the building itself its detailed to the interiors and features common things seen on a real trainstation, partially based on the "Terminal de autobuses de oriente" here in mexico city.
The Building features:
-Two ticket entrances
-4 Train tracks connected by a central bridge
-A Shopping mall
-A Mc Donalds
-Two levels for stores
-The trainstation master´s office
The train yards features
-Cranes for loading the trains
-Lights for night time
-Rail switch system
-Maintenance office
-Train traffic control
Additionaly, there are two parking lots and a small park whit a small classic train engine and fountain
The hole build has 1821 bricks.
Hope you enjoy this, suggestions and comments are always welcome!
I do not know when and why I built it, but I decided that it is good enough to put it on public display.
Microscale exploration vessel.
Built for my Iron Builder competition with Bruce Lowell using the dark red fez piece.
Follow me:
These ships are for Intercept Orbit, the spaceship version of Mobile Frame Zero.
The Battlecruiser is a cruiser (right around 16 studs long), probably equipped with:
* 1 Yamato Cannon (support range)
* 1 Burst Cannon (direct range)
* 1 hangar (catapult)
* Armor (defense)
The Valkyries are frigates (they're just under 12 studs long)
* Swarm Missiles (Point Defense Range)
* Hangar (catapult)
* Armor (defense)
The Wraiths are Mobile Frame Companies.
The Dropship is the Mobile Frame Ace. Haven't decided what kind
Edit: Free instructions and parts list are available on my Rebrickable page:
Used by many organizations, the RF-6's engine was made for ships many times larger. Astral Dynamics, known mostly for its military and exploration ships, took a risk with a light and extremely powerful cargo ship during a troubling financial time. This risk did pay off, though and variants can be seen from the most downtrodden industrial centers to the most luxurious casinos.
