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.
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.
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.
The Airbus Helicopters Tiger, formerly known as the Eurocopter Tiger, is a four-bladed, twin-engined attack helicopter which first entered service in 2003.
If you want to see more micro-MOC (with instructions), check out the following book, for which I contributed some models:

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.
This shuttle is designed to transport travelers from the surface of Mars to the orbital station.
It has been hardest to build this little shuttle than I thought. Even now there is something that doesn't like me but I don't know what it is.
The Drenner E-51, while highly outdated now, pioneered the now-common "isolation" method of mining, in which the surrounding rock is vaporized using low-intensity bolts and the material is gathered via tractor beam and sent to the aft processing unit.
This craft must be used in tandem with a shipping barge, as it has no internal holds of its own.

It's been awhile since I built a microscale spaceship. They're great for when you don't have a lot of time to build, but want to get something accomplished. They're also great for using small, but really cool looking pieces.
I was playing around with bar/clips (IG-88 necks) , droid torsos and hands, and came up with this.
In a variety of colors!
As I mentioned in this blog post I intended on building a frame with parts from the Dalek "minifig" from Character Builder. Here it is. I used the base as part of the torso and the head as a sensor dome. Right now it has (2Y/Gd8/2W) for systems. I may add (2Rh+d8) for the giant hands.
I built a little UD4 dropship from Aliens, more or less copying a design I stumbled across by jediwannabe on brickshelf (2 dark bley ones were dismantled for parts but this survives as a template)
From the left is an SA-43 (more of those to follow) and 3 ISSCV's from Space Above & Beyond. Ok, I'm mixing different film universe's but I love these things. I was going to start a microscale military base later this year, but work has commenced already on some bits and pieces.
I don't dabble much in microscale, but it's always fun when I do.
God knows what scale these are in, but a person would be roughly the size of a technic half pin, maybe slightly smaller.
The black ones are attached to a Spec Ops team by the way, hence the colour.
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!
The Hulk is on the attack !
as suggested by some of you ( thanks to MinifigNick and Tiese the customizer), I've used the backdrop of Las LegoVegas to stage few scenes of attacks by oversized creatures.

more terrifying than all other monsters is the attack of the Giant Chickens, famous for being ruthless and taking no prisoners !

I suppose I might as well add a random description of the sci-fi setting for these ships...
In my world, the action is centered around the solar system, as there's no FTL and no practical way to leave our neighborhood. Ships fly according to Newtonian physics- the fin thingies are part of a M2P2 drive and the thruster-y things are VASIMR engines for sprinting.
Combat takes place at extreme range with super-heavy guns (Yet another WIP! I hope it doesn't take 3-6 years again), then generally deteriorates into a melee of fighters, mecha, torpedoes, and smaller turreted guns.

Lego microscale 6x6 sci-fi location. I love the cartoony slime in this one. I might've been channeling some kind of Nukeland City vibe from Instagram.

Iserlohn ASW Cruiser Microscale
Please watch this and many other fantastic creations here: www.flickr.com/photos/einon/
The Imperial LEGO Iserlohn Cruiser is optimised for the Anti-submarine (ASW) mission, with powerful Anti-ship and Anti-aircraft missile systems.
For anti-ship missions, the ship carries four quadruple launchers for the large and supersonic D.D.N. missile behind the Leviathan Mk-3 launchers.
Flanking the ships funnel there are two quadruple 130mm gun turrets, a very powerful anti-ship and anti-aircraft armament.
Vertical Launch Systems (VLS) are fitted forward and aft for long-range Anti-Aircraft missiles like the SLAAD 1 or the Mega-STAD missiles. Amidships, two VLS fire the “Viper” AA missile, similar to the American RAM. The VLS can also launch the lighter D.D.B. anti-ship missile (similar to the Exocet missile, but supersonic) or the Leviathan Mk 1 (warhead: one short-range 460mm torpedo) and Mk 2 (warhead: one 800mm torpedo) anti-submarine missiles. Cruise missiles, like the ENA-200 “Machado” (with a 2000kg warhead) can also be operated.
Four anti-submarine helicopters are accommodated in hangars but the Iserlohn main combat system is the Leviathan Mk-3 anti-submarine missile, whose quadruple canister launchers flank the bridge structure. The large and impressive 2000km cruise missile may be configured either to release 4 Anti-submarine torpedos over a submerged target or fitted with a large warhead to counter surface targets, with mid-course correction. Two, very large SNG-50 radars are used to guide the missiles to the target. The launchers can also operate the D.D.N. anti-ship missile (4 D.D.N.s for each Leviathan), the low afterdeck being occupied largely by an enclosed VDS, which is roofed over to full hull width by the helipad. The VDS is complemented by a large low frequency sonar at the forefoot. Short-range anti-submarine weapons comprise four rocket launchers and two quadruple banks of heavyweight 800mm torpedo tubes (reportedly able to launch a new Anti-submarine missile). Finally, these very capable ships can carry up to 40 mines.
The ship also carries six Walston Gun/missile CIWS (each with 2 90mm Gatling guns and two launchers for 30 Viper Air-to-air missiles) and four 90mm automatic short-range guns.
Four shafts are driven directly by reversible electric motors; power for them is generated by four MX-1000 gas turbines associated to two hydrogen reactors or, for ultra-quiet navigation, four vibration-isolated electric alternators.
Once again these handsome, purposeful-looking ships, with their multitude of sensors and systems created a major impression among the enemies of the LEGO Empire.
Fifty ships were completed and will be completely remodelled in the future into a new, Stealth Guided missile cruiser.

It is based off a microscale ship seen hovering on the Katari Relic. A gallery will be eventually available. This model was difficult to photograph.
Sacrifice - until you have witnessed a Katari die for his own kind, you will never know the glory of their race.
In the cold outreaches of space, an empire silently swells. Deep within the looming silhouette of the Katari battle station, Destiny watches as the Katari engineer the most deadly battle cruiser of the galaxies. Stretching an enormous 1,300 meters, the empty frame of the giant sleeps soundly amidst the droning of alien technology inside the great chamber. To the Katari, great honor comes with great sacrifice, and such high honor was bestowed upon a select few of the Katari who will dedicate themselves to the epic battle cruiser project. These honored ones will remain inside the great chamber until the project is completed. Meter by meter, the Katari installed the armor on the prototype. Wire by wire, they connected the systems of the ship. Fourteen cumbersome years of progress saw the completion of the battle cruiser. At last, the gates of the great chamber opened and the remainder of the engineers, having aged markedly while others have passed away, set sail on their most glorious flight. For the first time, the beings of the Katari race saw of the signature vessel of their empire. To demonstrate the awe-inspiring power of the battle cruiser, an immense asteroid the size of a small moon was directed into the firing range of the deadly destroyer. As the looming goliath unyieldingly coursed towards the ship, it was met with an enormous energy blast from the main cannon of battle cruiser that instantly obliterated its target. From this demonstration the Katari War Hammer was born. Now, with the completion of the Katari battle station, 68 War Hammers serve the mighty empire. A time of glory has come...
Two years ago I created a clone brick Frame called the Handmaiden. I made enough to field a squad but in the meantime I've made some slight changes.
Another microship for my galery. I've discover I like to build this little MOCs when I haven't enought time or I'm thinking how to build bigger things.
Otra micronave para mi galería. He descubierto que me encanta hacer estas pequeñas creaciones cuando no tengo tiempo o estoy pensando como hacer cosas más grandes.
The Galactic Rim is not home to cutting edge and modern technology, by definition. A significant time after the introduction of drone technology to interstellar exploration and combat within the Core Systems, the idea is beginning to catch on along the Rim.
Named after a Japanese beast of folklore, the IDS Ningyo is a modern drone deployment corvette for hire. The two computer-assisted flak turrets are purely for point defence. The real edge provided by the Ningyo is it's two drone deployment bays. The crew is trained to control, maintain and manipulate a wide variety of drone types, from combat models to logistics and salvage types.
Generally hired by smaller governments to provide high-tech support to their traditional navies, the Ningyo is respected by allies and feared by enemies. With such scant protection, however, it requires careful escort to keep safe and operational.
Displayed are two drones. One 77-type salvage model, with twin manipulator arms and one Lockheed 'Stealthstrike' attack drone designed for rapid, pinpoint assault.
Length: 41m
Manufacturer: Custom-design, Hibayshi-made.
Crew: 4 bridge crew, 10 drone control staff.
Weaponry: 2 x fast-tracking flak turrets (top, bottom)
Special: 2 x drone bays (port, starboard)
A project I have been working on for a while occasionally. The battery box is hidden inside the hill and the small figure in the window is of course a minifig statue piece.
imagine this micro city few years into the future. Say 2050. Civilisation has broken down. Humans have used all the resources of the planet. The land is pounded by acid rain. Technologies have been forgotten.
This is what is left. A clutchful of houses protected by umbrellas, basic power generators. And a rocket, ready to take the last remaining stragglers to the stars ...
Apologies for my slightly negative mood. The world doesn't seem to be a particularly nice place at the moment.
