I threw together a microscale version of my favorite WWII medium bomber, the Heinkel He-111H. I didn't like how trans-clear 2x2 dishes looked as propeller wash, so I added some flex-tube prop hubs and called it good.
Soli Deo Gloria and happy building,

Last year I was mainly working on animal models and several other creatures. With this model I come back to my true passion - LEGO architecture. Towards the end of 2017 it was already shown on exibitions in Germany. By the way: this model has no real archtype.
The luxury apartments at Riverstone have been designed in a way that will offer you lots of space, with many amenities that set this newly renovated historic building apart.
The apartments are bright, airy, and beautifully decorated with open concept floor plans.
Select units overlook the swimming pool area and gardens.
The apartments are ideal for couples as well as a small family.
Each apartment is fully equipped, with stainless steel appliances and free internet access. Walking distance to old downtown.
Microscale polar expedition out on a research mission to study the Antarctic ice shelf thinning and the effect on the wildlife population, such as the seals. Expedition using couple of snowcat vehicles to traverse the frozen landscape.
I was inspired by the 2014 Arctic Lego sets and just had to build a microscale version.
The Cerberus - named so for it's three bulbed viewscreen up front - is the standard issue American dropship and short haul troop transport. It has adaptable, VTOL style thrusters and is easy to fly in open space and atmosphere both but come unstuck during an attack on the 'undercity' of Yystret IV shortly after it's rollout to the USEF.
Up until this mission the Cerberus had a faultless operational record, but the USEF special forces were overconfident in it's ability to operate in the confines of a half-buried city. In reality, the three ships had to drop their troops two klicks from their target and this exposed the SEAL team to enemy fire and a hostile approach. The vessels were fired upon and one crashed whilst trying to remain on station during the mission, whilst the remaining two struggled to reach the landing zone for evacuation.
The manufacturers were quick to shift blame onto poor tactical decisions for this outcome but such a warning did little to prevent a slowdown in military orders. The USEF built the mission into their virtual combat training protocols as a challenge for graduating pilots to prevent and escape; most candidates fail and are marked on how well they deal with catastrophe.
Several updates were issued to software and hydraulics to improve reliability into the Fourth Age and the Cerberus sees use with the US Marines and some of the boarding and landing forces of the USEF. Although the stock version is unarmed, it is nimble and armoured enough to survive in heavy fire zones with the right type of escort.
Another slab ship, not overly satisfied with this one. There's some elements I'd like to try on a large, SHIP-sized slab: the ventral acicular thing, the grabby arms near the bow, the angular fuel cells moving toward the stern.
I enjoy putting in some elements to suggest fish shapes (radiating fins, gills, tail, spines, feelers, needles, etc) but not too fishy, if that makes sense. In an abstracted way.
The Sanctuary rises from a ridge overlooking four valleys, famed for the clarity of their seasons. People from the region may be admitted to the Sanctuary for a period of secluded reflection -- traditionally, in Spring, for those who have just ended their education; in Summer, for those recently recovered from a life-threatening illness; in Autumn, for those who have completed their life work; or in Winter, for those who have lost a loved one.
A carved and painted folding box is a traditional memento for people who have stayed at the Sanctuary. Its design represents their experience, which can be held close inside, or unfolded to share the peace of the Sanctuary.

The gold filigree is sign of the Grah’na warrior class; tangle with ships like this one at your peril.
Others may now it as the Poison Citadel.
This will be my brother-n-law's birthday present, hopefully he likes it as much I liked my present. Heavily influenced by the Skeksis's Castle. There's a couple of parts to finish it off and I will print a title for the base as well.
Fantasy Isle #2. Here is the second version of my fantasy isle.

The City of Dale from J.R.R. Tolkien's the Hobbit built in microscale for the CCCXIII contest over on Classic Castle.com: www.classic-castle.com/
My fourth build for my Iron Builder against Jimmy Fortel, the seed part being the musketeer sword (7 used)

This one was actually quite fun, might keep this round for sometime to display :)
Enjoy!

Winter is my favorite season of the year and Christmas is already in the air, so I can't wait for this magical time. Here a first Xmas build, more are coming soon! I hope you like my snow globe ;)
Inspired by Dune's Ornithopter
Free building instructions are available here.
Built for Part One of the 1-year anniversary event of our monthly 1h build challenge in The Workshop. Theme was open this time, I chose biomimicry, but builders were only allowed to use 10 different piece types, any color (i.e. 1x2 plate = 1 piece type).
Feel free to hop on the server and participate in Part Two next weekend.
Also, applications for our latest scifi collaboration are open until Dec. 31st.
I've recently taken an interest in architecture, so naturally I had to combine it with my love of Lego (and of course microscale).
Inspired by Pascal's Columbus Center.
With photographing this small church model, I used an alternative exposure and experimented with different incidence of light. The photo editing was also different this time and I hope you like the result?!
From the Archives. This photo is one that I never posted before because it had some edge distortions that have mostly been cleaned up here. One of the things that I've always found interesting about this build is that at first glance it looks the same size as much larger castles. Its also kind of a disappointment I always have on the giant castle builds - in that it is hard to capture their scale in photos (without someone standing next to it).
One of the most important landmarks of the european ancient legacy. Its not an exact reproduction like the official set, but the proportions with the real building are similar.
As you have probably noticed, I have a lot of fun building church models on a small scale. So here is my next one!
The key element for this project was the decorated brick 2x2.
In addition to the scale, its use also determined the main color of the model.
I found the tree design here and on other different flickr profiles as well.
A few things I abandoned due to the ten parts restriction. Each idea has merits but I think they deserve a proper build and not such a harsh piece count restriction just for the sake of it. From left: Observatory (kinda too similar to one I did previously), rocket launch from secret mountain silo, nuclear reactor construction, baseball field and Pacific nuke test.
