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!

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.

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.
Melee element of the company. For use with Mobile Frame Zero. Not, I must say, as considered posting as this cracking version.
And before anyone posts something along the lines of "Brkdown plz thnx!" or something similarly juvenile, you can find the innards of the torso right here.
A microscale modernist family home of my own design, with influences from various mid 20th Century architects.
In the far future, advanced technology has eliminated wars over territory or resources. Instead, the galaxy is riven with bitter conflicts over such emotive issues as appropriate haircuts.
GAMA (Galactic Anti Mullet Alliance) battle groups such as this one are a common sight patrolling spiral arm MW-14 for the despised Bowie-Stewart Insurgency.
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

I was playing around with bar/clips (IG-88 necks) , droid torsos and hands, and came up with this.
In a variety of colors!
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.
Ever since I first saw Ulrik Hansen's wonderful Copenhagen model (www.flickr.com/photos/ulrikbrick/albums/72157686587763290), I've been playing with the idea of using those techniques... so here's a small attempt at that. Of course it's Billund and it's 1954 because a map is available (map.krak.dk/?c=55.731508%2C9.114313&z=18&l=historic) and it will be easy to expand even in parts of the town not covered by the usual photos. I went for muted colors because all I have as reference are black and white photos and that black and white map. Also white buildings look great, in my opinion!
A huge thanks to Ulrik for the idea and the cool techniques!

This is the first of several rural micropolis modules I am working on. A quaint little farmhouse and barn.
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.
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.
7755 Diesel Heavy Shunting Locomotive - Microscale version. I don't think it can be done any smaller ;-)
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.
I have been obsessed with Kenny Yan’s m.k.008 build since I first saw it, particularly the four-arms and digitigrade stance. I’ve been trying to shrink the design to 7P scale for months, going through several revisions along the way.
The color scheme for this and all other attempts is green/grey due to part availability.
This is my first attempt.

Built for Mobile Frame Zero - a tabletop wargame.
Mobile Frame Hangar (MFZ Community Forums).

The Chromedog is the more stylish and 'bling' rivals to the Blackbird hoversled; a class of quasi-legal civilian craft designed to race at extreme speeds through dangerous terrain.
The Chromedog features rear-belly mounted repulsor engines, giving it an edge in manoeuvrability and responsiveness compared to competing models.
Just a bit of fun. I had enough bricks in the right colours to create a blacktron version of the Gunstar. I'm not sure what's with LDD running on windows 8 when I take a screenshot in view mode (with the starfield backdrop) the backdrop isn't saved!
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.
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.
Another old build, this time from May. Built for the BDP Series 2 Mini-Build contest, you can find the file here: Mini Mushroom House [+interior!]
In this build I shrunk down Jonas Kramm's Mushroom House to a micro version. It still contains its recognizable shape and layout, down to the removable roof and tiny interior! Even the snail and the elves have been shrunk down! I had a lot of fun (and frustration) working on this build, so I hope you enjoy it.
It uses only parts available in the BDP series 5 palette, which was extremely challenging. I spent many hours trying to figure out how to connect everything, in order to get the signature shape and space for an interior.
Thanks for checking it out,
Math Wizard

A little less than thrilled with the train bridge and I should have used 1x1 plate with tooth for the gators but just try to focus on the flying car, eh? Inspired by The LEGO Movie Polybag, www.dagsbricks.com/2014/02/set-review-lego-movie-accessor...
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:
constructed using part 40607 Rubber Band / Belt Holder 6 x 3 x 3 which was considered to be unusable and not worth selling in a BL discussion. The ship is sandwiched around the holder and is stressed because of the 2 to 3 stud angle.
This is a micro-scale spaceship that my 9 year old son built and insisted I upload to flickr! So here it is. I did the photoshop work for him (but very quickly, so it's a bit rough round the edges)
Small, smaller, smallest... I had to build something that would fit into 4-wide trailer. Brickshelf gallery
