Ricky Post, the trillionaire heir to the Post Pharmaceutical fortune, arrives at Dock 137 of North Central Positronicss shipyard to inspect the progress construction crews have made on the newest ship in his company's fleet. On the day of the inspection, crews have positioned the engine block behind the frame, and are waiting on delivery of the coupling housing before the two assemblies can be married. Pictured in the foreground is Ricky's personal sport luxury yacht, "Ain't' Miss-Behavin' ."
When I lived in Hanover Germany I saw this building everyday as I woke up. Often I would think how I could build this in Lego. At the time I started collecting the Lego Architecture sets. From this I got the idea to try and replicate it in a similar style. I ended up designing it in LDD and then went ahead and ordered the bricks. The orange roof tiles proved to be tricky to get, as they came in very few sets. That said, I managed to get the ones I needed and I feel
the overall build turned out pretty well.
A microscale modernist family home of my own design, with influences from various mid 20th Century architects.
After seeing sooo many great microscale mechs lately (Pascal, Nate, Dave and Shannon's work comes to mind), I was inspired to build something from my pile of unsorted bricks. The Vofleman is a long range plasma cannon marksman able to lay down heavy fire from great distances. Two cannons fired one by one help to prevent overheating while maintaining a heavy barrage.
More on this mech on its album!!
Medium class Mech, lightly articulated, mostly for long range assalut
(93 bricks <10 minutes assembly)

The AG-23 sees widepsread use around the more verdant colonies and worlds of the galaxy, assisted by it's camo paintjob and heat deflecting armour plating.
Crewed by two, the AG-23 is a successor to many terrestrial aircraft tasked in attacking ground targets. The '23 is at home in the vacuum of space, as well as within 'atmo.
Primarily armed with it's chin-gun, the ship can be equipped with a variety of under-wing warheads and mines.
Easily outmanoeuvred by smaller starfighters, and lacking any lightspeed capability, the '23 is not without it's flaws, but is well used and well liked by various galactic military forces and garrisons.
Playing with POV-Ray. This is the Jurassic Park model from the Jurassic World game by TT Games.
Their model uses at least one illegal connection and pieces not available in the correct colours hence why I've only created it digitally.
What's this? I builded something? Steve and I spent an afternoon eating pizza, drinking beer, and kicking the bricks for a bit last weekend. This thing didn't come out quite as planned, but worked out well enough.
a couple more views of the splendid Mr Blobby House.

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 first of several rural micropolis modules I am working on. A quaint little farmhouse and barn.
Couldn't afford the real thing so I built a little TIE/SF to go with my free T-70 X-Wing from Toys R Us.
Had some fun with photoshop along the way.
back to microscale, revisiting the typically British Red brick houses. I've built something like this before here but now I'm trying to build to the generally accepted 16x16 standard for a micropolis
block.
More pics in my photostream. And on Instagram.
Have I mentioned that you can find my builds on Instagram as @fgr62 ? You can follow me, I won't get offended
The Thunderbolt is officially classed as a bomber but is atypical as its armament consists of two heavy cannons, operating on the concept of a smooth bore, recoilless rifle. The standard armament is photonic shells but they can be switched out depending on the mission at hand. The B-71 is designed to devastate static or slow moving targets in space; it is extremely vulnerable to flak fire and agile interceptors.
Still having fun with microspace and absurdly large ordnance. :-) If I keep this up I'm going to want to build a carrier.
I built a number of minifigure habitats before, and I experimented with a microscale Japanese habitat, that was recently featured on The Brothers Brick.
So here's a new addition to the series!
Check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel:
The chevrons are part of Module 1 of my modular microscale Space Base.
the prototype for this cheese slope design is here and, of course, I have to acknowledge inspiration from Katie, the master of cheese slope mosaics.
More pics in the Mars Base set.
I found these picturs of an old creation, I rarely do microscale but that one time I did I think I did a good job.
Designed a microscale Capitol Center building high-rise of the tallest office building in Columbia SC.
Combination of studs up and sideways building for the floorplates.

Much better, but I forgot to turn the Lego-logo-on-studs back on.
Floating parts are a bug, not a feature; it works fine in-the-brick, but LDD can't seem to accept that a bar can go inside a plate's base if it passes through a headlight brick's hollow stud first.
Still got the polygonal round bits. Except the muzzle of the autocannon; that's perfectly round, though in LDD it's as polygonal as the barrel jacket.
Wondering if there's a setting I missed.
And I forgot the settings I used. Naturally.
Might have to try turning anti-aliasing up.
Metallic parts don't seem to render well, but it might be because there's no skybox for them to reflect.
This was an attempt at the colour scheme in the game Mechcommander, which I've always been fond of. Something about the blue-and-gold, though the Lego colours aren't an exact match.
Hospital for the citizens of Micropolis, inspired by the architecture of the San Francisco General Hospital's older buildings. See my blog at www.brickpile.com for more info.
Illustrative example showing the use of 1x1 clip elements as an "anti-aliasing" smoothing technique for microscale gentle rolling hills. The contour elevations on these concept models are identical.
I was playing around with bar/clips (IG-88 necks) , droid torsos and hands, and came up with this.
In a variety of colors!
The transparent 1x1s and that tooth part are standing in for minifig hands used for, respectively, point-defence guns and antennae.
The big boys are Halberds; the smaller ones are Furies; Alecto-IIs, to be more precise. The smallish ones are un-named strike machines, and the tiniest is a- also un-named -fast scout.
To get an idea of how incredibly offensive it would be to use one of these- or anything based on their chassis' -in a modern battle: imagine that a pack of Jews got together and stole a Tiger tank from a museum. I don't know if there are any functional Tigers left, but just imagine there are.
Imagine that they spraypaint it with a pattern of interlocking rainbow swastikas, SS runes and My Little Pony Cute Marks and drive it through the streets of Warsaw Heil Hitler-ing and playing the hit '30s pop song "Let's Kill all the Untermenschen for Lebensraum" at window-shattering volume.
Now imagine that, somehow, every single witness lost family in the Uprising or concentration camps, and that this was some bizarre alternate universe where the murder squads drove Tiger tanks and the Nazis, instead of trying to cover it up, videotaped it and used it for propaganda.
So yeah, it would be pretty bad for your P.R.
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. The rifle is a modification of this great stuff by Chris.
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.
Cranes detail
(download the trainstation that includes many of these on the first image of the folder)
The cranes stay at the train yard to help loading and unloading great cargos
Build whit only 17 pzs for the big one and 14 for the small one these are readily available on many colors and fit well whit many microscale type moc, from building to helping in spaceships, more variations coming soon!
My first build in quite sometime. A microscale space transport robot. I envision 100's of these guys lugging fuel tanks and cargo at some kind of spaceport
Small, smaller, smallest... I had to build something that would fit into 4-wide trailer. Brickshelf gallery
