This was the second one I built, and probably my least favourite. I like the negative space design, but I could totally see it as a military gunship far more than a racer. But it's still cool, I guess.
Buildings, from highest to shortest:
Imperium Domus (translates to the Empires House): The Imperium Domus is the tallest, free standing structure in the galaxy. It was constructed from 2016-2020. Imperium Domus is the Trynin Empires political center; it houses mayoral meetings, the judicial branch, and the senate sessions. It’s also were the Grand Mayor of Trynin dwells. Imperium Domus is also the nerve center for the Trynin Empire’s military and numerous other bureaucratic branches.
Iosisse Building: the Iosisse Building is the headquarters of Iossise Tech., the galaxies largest non-military technological development company.
Nelworth Tower: the Nelworth Tower is the headquarters for Tran Incorporated & Son’s; the galaxies largest producer when it comes to ground vehicles.
Tronde Tower & the Lel Building: Tronde Tower is the civilian headquarters for the galaxies largest corporation, Tronde Shipyard. The Lel Building is military headquarters for Tronde Shipyard.
Wisslove Building: the Wisslove Building is the headquarters and test site of Weston Speeders Inc., the largest small vehicular company in the galaxy.
Ranter Testing and Managerial Building (RTM building): Headquarters for Ranter Tec., the galaxies largest starfighter manufacturer.
Tiren Office House: is the headquarters for the Tiren Engine Company, the galaxies number one producer of ion engines, selonic cells, light-jump engines, and shields.
Wellron-L Building: headquarters for the galaxies largest producer of laser weaponry.
Bank of Condorenne: oldest and largest banking firm in the galaxy.
Lend Office: an office complex that is rented out to thousands of firms and houses some of the galaxies leading financial firms.
Mall of Trynin: holds the largest concentration of commercial business in the galaxy, well of four million business occupant over a fifty mile stretch!
Left is South. The courtyard is the entrance to the house and also screens out the southern sun. The main living area opens into both the courtyard and the back yard. As you can see it's a quite small house, for one or two.

Tiny cargo ship used by the diminuitive Ephii, the vessel is so small it is often missed by standard customs patrols. An obvious favourite of smugglers, even if the cockpit is a little snug for humans.
Made for the 3T Challenge over at the Mobile Frame Hangar. The challenge was to create an MFZ mech without using a travis brick, tap, or t-piece.
Built in about 20 minutes whilst watching the European GP.
Contsructing microscale mecha without those bits many of us use to create articulation is an interesting challenge. One the best builds that has come out of the 'contest' is the Bullfrog . You should check it out.
My first attempt at micro scale building. Not too happy with the steps but overall learnt a lot for the next build so pretty happy with it.
Made for the Greco-Roman LEGO group micro-mini scale temple challenge. I had to throw this together in 5 minutes so we had something in the thread!
This is my Grandad's house rendered in LEGO on a micro scale. It was a present for him on Christmas 2013. :-)
I have many fond memories of Christmases spent here. Notice the striped lawns, the golden retrievers in the front garden, the half-tile brackets on the garage doors, and not one, not two but three chimneys!
Imagine an ancient fortification taken over and expanded by a dark power.
A study in angles, snot and windowmaking, but really I wanted to build a big fat castle!
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.

This microscale vignette was created for the Eurobricks Micro Sci-Fi contest.
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.
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.
One of the most feared and heavily armored ships in the KEFS, this is responsible for the transport of many soldiers and supplies to the colonies in deep space. Even the combined Corporate fleets fear the mighty Perrigot's three Viken missles, twin Sonic Fusion cannons, front 16 pounder cannon, and two heavy anti-fighter guns.

The total building time was 6 hours.
Enjoy! And yes, I wanted it "Chunky".
I made this microscale version of the LEGO set 1592 in 2004. At that time there was some kind of challenge going on on 1000steine.de - the idea was to make different version of this set.
More on this mech on its album!!
Medium class Mech, lightly articulated, mostly for long range assalut
(93 bricks <10 minutes assembly)

Fukuro Corp. worked with the nomadic warriors of the Glalsi people to bring the tiny, tough fighting style to dogfighting. The designers identified an aesthetic redolent of old Earth fancy cars and the Glalsi didn’t object to the design being nicknamed so.
A plateau that could be the remainder of a volcano in the desert, with nice forests on it and an Elven castle.
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.
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:
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' ."
The last of my freighters for now and the first one I built. Bonus commentary here: ktorrek.blogspot.com/2019/05/crafting-challenge-week-5.html
This is a MOC that I have been wanting to build for about a month or so. It started out originally as a one day project, and then 11 days after the project’s beginning, I sit here typing the description. Life has been…BUSY, to say the least. There are many more ideas that I am dying to start constructing…
Heavily inspired from the iOS app Epic Zen Garden, I knew that I wanted to try to make an architectural MOC in microscale. Another huge source of inspiration goes to the enormously talented MOCer Rocco Buttliere (BrickWorld Master 2016), who I had the great pleasure of meeting and displaying next to at BrickWorld Chicago 2016. Please check out his outstanding MOCs.
The MOC features a pseudo-Frank-Lloyd-Wright-style layout, complimented by a Japanese cherry blossom tree and rock garden. The gazebo was somewhat of an addition to simply fill space, though if I do say so myself I think it goes perfectly there. :P
Your comments and critique on both the MOC and photo quality are so very much appreciated.

My first try at mircoscale ships, started trying to design a modern battleship variant and could not decide what I liked best, so here are 5 variants based on the same hull:
* AA-Cruiser
* Full Battleship
* Vertical Launch Ship (IRBM and Cruise Missile)
* Assault Battleship
* Helicarrier

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
As I was inspired to build in microscale by toomuchcaffeine's Cuusoo (alas, now former) project of micro Star Wars scenes -pictures here) , it has always been my intention to not just make vehicles. I wanted to give them a setting, to make a diorama with just a few pieces.
Yes, I know. It's not a giant diorama that that epic scenes deserves, but still, I'm quite fond of it.
Maybe there are more to come, but anyway I present here to you my first micro scene.
The Sarlacc itself is the starting points. Add together 2 LEGO Friends hand mirrors/beac, 6 wild west horns/tentacles, 1 Technic turntable/teeth and some binoculars, clips and a dozen of SNOT bricks to make it bind, and voilà , there's your micro Sarlacc. Due to all the SNOT involved in this centerpiece, the build turned out quite complicated as a whole. Adding the curves to simulate dunes at an ofset didn't really help, but at least it gave a decent aesthetical effect.
If you're more of an expert in the MOCcing cuisine, you can try to prepare the Sail Barge, as that's a quite complex recipe to follow. The distinct snout is hard to replicate in any scale of LEGO. You have to get the slope viewed from the side, and the curve viewed from the top. So you have to choose your ingredients - err... parts - very well. After using all kinds of pieces I had never heard of before (like Indian wigs, bizarre Hero Factory pieces, trays and bowls...) two rather ordinary (no offence) bow pieces (part 64225) seemed to deliver the right taste. Combining these with straight slopes and shields (O, I do love those!) gave what I was aiming for. The problem was keeping it together, and fitting it in with the rest of the dish - err... model. Some dirty tricks (no bricks were harmed, during the making of this model) gave a satisfactory result, though some gaps were left, I admit.
To garnish your creation, you can't go without some Desert Skiffs. To be in scale, they had to be really tiny, even for my standards. It was hard to come up with an accurate and - even more important - pretty solution. In the end, I took the advise of "less is more" seriously for once and stayed with one piece, and one piece only. The Rescue can (part 90395) that had proven to be unsuitable for the main course (the Sail Barge) turned out to be just the right part for the job.
All you have to do then, is to present your creation nicely. To evoke the dessert of Tatooine (pun intended), a chaotic and rough edge seems appropriate, especially since you don't want to cover up all those offsets you introduced earlier on...
This model is best served rendered with LDD2POV-Ray, and with a long text alongside it. I wish you all a humble bon appetit. Please let me know how it tastes. If you have remarks about the spicing, please do tell me. Then I will fetch you some salt and pepper. (in other words: C&C welcome and appreciated)
