Prepare for aero-braking!

This is my fourth MOC for the Iron Forge 2023 Challenge - Round 2. Seed part (required piece): see the post of the first moc of the second round. To make this microscale I used 17 SEED parts.

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.

Microscale build made for the recent 1h build challenge on my Discord server The Workshop, themed "Reclamation".

 

On the topic of this build, applications for my latest community project "Atlas" - a post-apocalyptic map & points based RPG - are open until the 14th of July.

It's a 2-week testing phase so if you're interested in helping figuring out a balanced experience, feel free to join my Discord and apply there.

Small build for the 12x12 Brickscalibur category.

 

I wanted to do more with this build, but I just ran out of time. Might update or delete it later if I feel like it.

Well, that tears it then. This tablescrap has convinced me this S.H.I.P.tember will be a medium azure affair. It's just too awesome a colour to ignore any further. After all, I think we can all agree medium azure is the best Lego colour there is...

 

Considering this represents my entire inventory of medium azure and teal, some Cracklinking will be necessary.

I'm actually thinking of scaling this up, probably to 50-60 studs. I really like the colour scheme: black bridge up the front, light bley spine with white mission pods on lateral hardpoints.

Started this MOC last year when I first used the Unikitty tail as waves and the Seasick Kitty horn as trees. Ordered more horns through LUGBULK and finally completed this!

 

(Yes the palm trees are cut whips, sue me)

My entry for the 5th annual Summer Joust. Category: Tri-Colour

 

The rules of the competition dictated that I use a maximum of 3 colours to build a medieval MOC of my choice. The limitation on colour left me with little room for my customary style of employing vibrant colours to make my creations stand out, forcing me out of my comfort zone – which meant I had to get creative.

 

I decided to capitalize on the confined colour palette by adopting a simplistic, elegant style to match it. I’ve used white curved slopes to represent the city walls, grey regular slopes for the mountains, and a circular sand green base built on its side for the fields of Pelennor – all of which contribute to that simple, elegant appearance. I’m not entirely satisfied with how the half-circle base turned out (my supply of sand green is minimal, unfortunately), but overall I’m quite happy with the finished model.

Because a classic's a classic.

Microscale Mars base, built for the New Elementary article here. Disassembled December 2021.

This was part of my Lego club's layout at our exhibition last weekend. We had tons of extravagant once-per-city buildings but almost no housing so I came up with some low-key apartment buildings.

I like to imagine a main character anti-hero ambiguous villain mecha coming in and blowing everything up with a single itano circus. 'Cause you know, that's why we build ships- micromissiles gotta hit somethin'

Micro builds of the original airships I built for "Full Steam 1"

A combination of all my micropolis modules so far. I've noticed thus far, I've only built modules fit for a small town, not a bustling metropolis. Perhaps I'll try my hand at some skyscrapers one day, but for now I like detailing the minutiae of small town living. You can see all of these at Brickfair VA 2013. Hope to see you there!

This is a representation of what Conwy looked like in its heyday. One of my favourite historical sites. I'm hoping to build a running range of British castles in this scale.

Tooling around with a small ship that I can flip over. Two for the price of one!

Something quick and fun.

Part of a bigger project ( that's easy...) I'm designing - Only 28 Pieces

My latest spooky microscale build! Hope you like it!

Multi-gun Frigate designed for close escort and patrol. Four fast-tracking turrets provide accurate short-to-medium range firepower against a range of targets. Predominantly operated by local militias and security forces.

The Wolfpack has been been busy in their mountain lake tower, laying plans and shifting parties of men since winter. The board is set to take the city. The time to strike is now.

 

I wanted to do something similar to the war maps in Skyrim, but give it some dimension.

 

Built for my Iron Builder competition with Bruce Lowell using the dark red fez piece.

But certainly A teeny weeny walker...tried making one with the minifig skateshoe but the wheels are too close together to fit minifig hands downwards on all four wheels.

 

Amendment - Thought of the pirate hooks...but they're the exact opposite wrong to the minifig hands...oh well

 

With the hands its, depending on which end is the front, either a dog just waking up or one waiting for you to throw the ball

 

With the hooks, it's a dog taking a crap XD

"We choose to build microscale and to do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our building skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to complete."

L'Astrolabe is a freight ship from the last generation. Faster, more powerful than the old ones, it can bring anything to any place in the known universe.

Oohlu base is 82% complete. Please prepare for landing.

Thanks to Ron for his excellent Y-Wing dogfighter variant, the H-Wing.

Over the summer I challenged myself to create a 100 different microscale trees in 100 days. I originally posted them all on Instagram. This photo was taken when I showed them at my local Mini Maker Faire.

One of my favorites so far, this was a satisfying build.

Couldn't resist. Massive Marvel movie = teeny tiny Avengers.

Getting back to some micro scale landscaping I started a while back.

Can't sleep. Must build more.

My first real stab at microscale (the life-size tortoise is just a bonus). Built for the Brickscalibur Medieval Micros category.

 

With a lifespan measured in the triple digits, the Mountain is an oblivious host to the thriving civilization on its shell.
