This was a build challenge requiring a the front facade of a building set on the ruins of some older structure, guarded, with an animal and two civilians.
To that end, I have added a doomsday device and a giraffe.
Modern space-based navies strive to find a balance between starfighters and capital ships. Unlike with the BB-22, which was meant as an anti-fighter platform, the British Royal Navy designed a Frigate capable of engaging other capital ships of similar and larger sizes.
Armed with two underslung anti-fighter flak cannons to combat fightercraft, the Pennyroyal relies on it's three dual-cannon turrets to deal damage against similar-sized craft.
Thin and tall, with two engines for thrust and two to help manoeuvre around, the Pennyroyal is mobile and reasonably nimble. Although large at 160m, the ship can last for some time without resupply, and is a frequent sight patrolling colonies and trade routes on the galactic rim. Few pirate raiders can last a pound-for-pound tussle with the Pennyroyal, which have made it a firm favourite amongst it's crewmen.
However, with no fighter compliment or missile loadout to speak of, the ship can be overwhelmed by many small craft.
Length: 160m
Crew: 63.
Armament: 2 x flak turrets. 1 x double plasma turret. 2 x STS cannons.
Computer: Rolls Royce X-31.

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.
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.
With a minifig like that it had to be done! I made a couple of these as presents for my mother and mother-in-law.
What's been going on in Joe´s Garage lately? What's with all the boxes? Why is Joe staying up late at night? Joe is just about to show every one what he's been working on for the last three years.
This... is... Betty! Wroom! wroom!
Whenever I am bored, I build a microscale Star Wars ship :)
It's not exactly to scale with my micro Slave I, but, hey, it's close enough.
I'm not entirely happy with how the thrusters turned out — those black dales bricks were the best solution I could come up with. I also think they're a bit short.
Favorite part use is the minifig microphone used as an astromech head!

Here is what I'll call my first "official" MOC.
Forgive the poor photography and editing... also my first attempt at photographing Lego and editing with GIMP.
Let me know what you think, feedback is appreciated.
A racing frame, converted to experimental “pocket Gunship” for whenever a mission calls for a ship smaller than the ISS Chūrippu is too large.
Yeah the connections with the cannon part get pretty ugly ... luckily it has lots of technic openings :)
None of the wheels turn, and the train cars aren't really coupled together, but they sit tightly on the tracks (which are exactly two bricks/six plates apart, as are the edges of the wheels).
For more photos, see the full set.
A microscale version of one of my favourite Lego sets from 2014, 21109 Exo Suit. Initial design by Peter Reid and brought to life by Mark Stafford.
Pretty happy with it; it’s all legal connections, and I wanted to utilise the Mixel ball joints, but how I wish element 2566 (Plant, Tree Palm Top) were available in a shade of grey.
The 'Saint existed for twenty years as a diplomatic courier, moving information and people between the Core Worlds with limited excitement or incident.
Whilst in the process of turning a scrapyard on Triton into a smelting complex, the industrial magnate Charles Sebastian Forbes discovered the wreck of the 'Saint and commissioned the shipsmiths of Saturn to rescue and refurbish it into his own personal launch. As his businesses expanded into the lawless Galactic Rim, the sturdy Ivory Saint kept the trillionaire and his entourage safe and sound.
Manufacturer: SolSpaceWorks
Model: Model-38 Courier-Craft
Crew: 2 pilots [8 passengers]
Armament: 2 micro-missile launchers (1 forward firing, 1 aft-firing)
Defenses: Duranium Armour Plate, Positronic Shielding.
Just a quick build after I received my bricks from the mail. I love how this came out; I tried to make it look as close to an actual Humvee as possible. What do you guys think?
A microscale version of my SHIP. This is what my SHIP would have looked like if
a) I hadn't lost interest
b) I had enough parts.
: /
Anyway, not a great picture or an incredible MOC, but considering it only took 1 and a half hours, I thought it was okay.
ALSO: I WON'T BE MAKING ANYTHING LARGE UNTIL AFTER AUGUST. I'M STARTING ON HOMEFRONT.

This is the next model of my Microscale Truck series. In my opinion this is my best. I built 2 or 3 versions, before I get it right. Not easy to put so many details in that small scale. I hope you love it, like I do!

This is the Lonesome Valkyrie and it's my entry for the Mini Castle Contest IV.
It has a moving wind mill, boats, a cart with horse in the bridge and also a movable drawbridge.
a slightly larger iteration of my previous landscaping, with a little hillock and pretty little beachouse from which to watch the world go by.
The SNOT techniques are basic but effective, IMHO.
Some quick tablescrap microbuilds; having never built anything on the standard 16x16 micro city grid.
The completed LEGO microscale habitat stack is finally here!
Over the past few months I have built a wide selection of 8x8 LEGO microscale habitats and today I'm going to give you a complete overview, including a new polar one and a rework of the OG habitat, the japanese garden.
Here's the video:

Made for Lug'est labyrinth activity.
Entry is fixed by previous builder. The exit is my choice, let's climb to the top.
As suggested by Miro, some micro Star Wars characters. Of course now I'm thinking about a micro cantina and a micro dewback. *sigh*
Scharnvirk's personal battleship, massive weapon platform perfectly suited for pirate raids on unsuspecting convoys. Armed to teeth with mutliple missile launchers, turrets and heavy beam cannons in front. Brickshelf gallery
I built this for the Micro Sci-Fi Contest on Eurobricks. I've added the TARDIS, the Citadel of the Time Lords, the Mountains of Solice and Solitude, the red grassess and the silver leaves. Let me know what you think, thanks.
Micro-landmarks from around the world.
Due to a lack of space and time I am embarking upon a micro-scale Lego landmark tour of the world.
I’ve made a list of 57 landmarks from 31 different cities. Over half of the landmarks I’ve selected are from one of four cities: New York City, Washington D.C., London, and Paris.
First stop: Big Ben in London
Note: This will be the 4th time I’ve built Big Ben (Each time at a different scale; this model is the smallest version yet). The first two models I built were yellow because at the time tan parts were too expensive.
Next stop: Might as well stay in London: Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Globe Theater, Swiss Re, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, or St. Paul’s Cathedral?
