Canal modules for Micropolis, inspired by work by Christian Benito @chbenito aka Little Brick Root. See more info on my blog at brickpile.com.
The updated version with the Thunderbolt extended cockpit. This cockpit design prompted me to try the gunstar.

In the spirit of Earth Day, Micropolis has begun moving away from fossil fuels and is working on harnessing renewable energy. These new wind turbines are a big step in the right direction!
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.
The Tiberius class starships (motto: "...to explode new worlds, to seek out and destroy new life...") demonstrate beyond all doubt that Blacktron will appropriate any proven spacecraft design and adapt it for their own nefarious purposes.
The 'Saint existed for twenty years as a diplomatic courier, moving information and people between the Core Worlds with limited excitement or incident.
Whilst in the process of turning a scrapyard on Triton into a smelting complex, the industrial magnate Charles Sebastian Forbes discovered the wreck of the 'Saint and commissioned the shipsmiths of Saturn to rescue and refurbish it into his own personal launch. As his businesses expanded into the lawless Galactic Rim, the sturdy Ivory Saint kept the trillionaire and his entourage safe and sound.
Manufacturer: SolSpaceWorks

The Oroso Conclave have the most careful, defence-minded and tactical military forces of the known races, outside of the Vonn. Their priority lies squarely in defence, their fightcraft lack FTL ability. Instead, they need to land on a 'mother' ship or be stored on a rack in transport.
The T'frr is the primary fightercraft fielded by the Conclave; it is nimble, capable and well-armed against a variety of threats with wing and chin mounted cannons.
Although reasonably small, the ship needs two crew. In common with most Oroso, the crew of a T'frr live and exist in very close quarters. This closeness is key to their relationship and fighting ability; if one of a pilot-pair dies or is unable to fight again, the other often struggles to adjust back to military life.
The T'frr served admirably against the European Union forces during the brief Human-Oroso conflict, bested only by the late introduction of Grendel Squadron.

The completed LEGO microscale habitat stack is finally here!
Over the past few months I have built a wide selection of 8x8 LEGO microscale habitats and today I'm going to give you a complete overview, including a new polar one and a rework of the OG habitat, the japanese garden.
Here's the video:
The Oroso Naval Combine are a proud organisation, but are not above using specialists or mercenaries when needed. In this picture, the ONC Kabbayh is alongside the independent corvette Ningyo, which is providing anti-fighter screening with two Nightstrike drones.
A microscale MOC I built for the TBB MF contest, I chose to build as small as I could but the most realistic.
The Peccary family of Armored General Purpose Vehicles includes an ambulance variant. The Peccary medevac vehicle features a slightly enlarged wheelbase to allow a larger bay where two responders can operate.
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 fire. 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 strikes.
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)
The Thunderbolt is officially classed as a bomber but is atypical as its armament consists of two heavy cannons, operating on the concept of a smooth bore, recoilless rifle. The standard armament is photonic shells but they can be switched out depending on the mission at hand. The B-71 is designed to devastate static or slow moving targets in space; it is extremely vulnerable to flak fire and agile interceptors.
A microscale Viper from Battlestar Galactica. I love the design of this ship, and the reimagined show had the best spaceship fights (if not the most satisfying resolution).

This is a mini LEGO terrace house built for some dear friends of ours as a housewarming present. Back garden comes complete with shed, dog, decking and slide!
part of my London microscale set.
This is, actually, the second small scale MOC of the James Bond building. The first on (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/53534482@N02/29478695730/in/photostream/"here) was too probably nicer and more faithful to the original but too big
A microscale homage to MOC builder Mladen Pejic.
I absolutely love his work. His multipodes are amazing! ^_^
Hope you recognize him! If not, check here.

First one I built, as a result it was a bit meh first time around. I went back and rebuilt it last night, but it's still the least interesting one, in my opinion. I based the nose and cockpit design off my full-sized Octan racer from last year. I added wings and a different engine setup though, because the original racer was more designed like a powerboat than a spaceship.
