I built these border segments to provide a clean edge to my Micropolis display. Built for Bricks by the Bay 2020 virtual convention. See brickpile.com for more.
Microscale Sea Serpent build Set 6057 and remake 40912
for Lego group castle competition.
Ship is just 20 pieces.
I was inspired to make a micro scale castle today. And here is the end result.
I haven't posted much of anything recently, life has been pretty busy. But that doesn't mean that I haven't been building. I have been working on a technic uh-1h/1b huey, and it is still very much a WIP.
More pictures to come soon.
I could use any suggestions for a name for the castle.

My first Microscale model, created for my first MUGS Meeting back in 2003. This is what first gave me the taste for microscale.
Added for completeness, and to see how far I have come since then.

Microscale model of the ATV, ESA's supply spacecraft for the ISS.
It was built already months ago, just finally decided to upload it.
These are some of my Microscale Tanks and bots from Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance to go along with My Monkeylord(s).
I built these in preparations for a diorama I'm planning, I had hoped to have it ready for BrickCon, but I don't think it'll be happening, though they will still be making an appearance, it just won't be as exciting! xD
A workhorse of the New Republic, the Badger airframe is used primarily as close air support below orbit, and for strafing runs against capital ships once it has reached zero gravity. Though slow, and not very agile, the badger packs a punch with twin 70mm vulcan cannons, and heavy armor plating.
Since finishing the minifig scale one is going to take some more years... here's a microscale version! I wanted to finish the whole block for the Paredes de Coura Fan Weekend, but couldn't. I will, though!
The Old Dominion is an aging utility craft usually tasked with ferrying miners and supplies to various asteroid and moon mining operations in the Taldron system.
It's most notorious cargo were 4 elephants for one mining stations manager's wife. He spent a years worth of pay to have them brought to the moon where she wanted to use them as a way to entertain the children. Lets just say the elephants weren't thrilled about the ride.
Here's my latest build, and it's a big(ish) one. 128 studs long, this is by a handful of studs the longest thing I've ever built, although it's only microscale. It's amongst the flimsiest too, but those that know my builds will be unsurprised by that...
The reason for the flimsiness is that each of the modules can be removed, which means that the connection points are only 3 axles and a clip/bar connection. It's... not ideal. So it won't last very long on my shelf. I did quite enjoy taking it apart and making a couple of smaller ships with some of the modules removed.
It was fun to build, and that's the most important thing. The entire concept came to me as soon as I saw those sand blue quarter-rings in the space station set, and I thought, I must put those to use. The idea I went with is that everything on them can be unpacked to start a colony. Many years ago I made a smaller version of a colony ship, also with a spinning ring. Believe it or not, that was flimsy too.
After the rings, I made the cargo section, which strained my patience both in creating a triangular frame that didn't implode in on itself (it did, several times) and also making almost 70 little crates to populate it. There's some fun references to other themes scattered about though.
The rest of the modules came together fairly painlessly, but I spent a lot of time revisiting them until I was completely happy with them. Sure, there's room for improvement, but each module went through several revisions, except for the engines, which I did last and was pleased with almost immediately. Got to have the glittery purple power source!
More pictures to follow at some point next week. I'm not sure how much editing they're going to need, if any. Hopefully none, I just threw a sheet down and waited about a month for a sunny day. And here we are. Hopefully the creases aren't appallingly noticeable but I had to keep moving the model to get different angles and didn't notice (or care) how much the sheet had gotten rucked up.
So, yeah. Space. Let me know what you think.
Some builds take on their own life. This loco started out as tablescrap with the cannon part. I gave it some rolling stock thinking it might be a cute holiday train. Instead it got huffy and demanded a bridge. And a bridge needs something to cross ...

A GHL variant of the C-6 buzzer, the GHL C-6 Buzzing Brawler retains the same fuselage assembly but changes wings to adapt to lower-technology planets.
I seem to be getting back into some building with some more of these 6x6 locations. It's working, I want to do more. Feels good to be building again!
When the war came to the Antarion IV, the factories became a significant target for heavy bombers of the enemy faction. As a result, each factory was upgraded to defend itself and ultimately the factories on Antarion IV became as heavily armed as the war machines they produced.

continuing the series of Architecture-inspired sets, here is London riverside : Houses of Parliament, MI6, Millenium Wheel and the Shard
I have seen several London microscale MOCs but none that has the Shard yet. So, I hope this is original enough ...
btw, one of my favourites is the little build by Elspeth De Montes I found on the VeloVixen blog
and if you like this, have a look further down in my photo stream for the Milano microscale set
another view of my microscale set of riverside London buildings.
more pics in my photo stream ... and did you notice I've done a similar set for Milano ?

Based very loosely on the Ferrett
On the off chance that somebody recognizes this model, I had it posted under a pseudonym. It seemed like a good idea at the time., I had it posted under a pseudonym. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Just a landmate holding the Hyperkinetic Long-range Rifle to show it off.

A twin-stage heavy anti-materiel/anti-armour weapon. The long 17.2mm projectile is injected into the linear accelerator system by a conventional chemical charge. The accelerator then shoots the projectile out at around 3000mps.
