Microscale building is most commonly associated with the giant collaborative ‘Micropolis’ city displays at events like Brickworld, where the focus is on gleaming modern architecture. So it’s refreshing to see Flickr member HOEFOL going seriously old school with microscale models of structures fro...
Designed as more scenery for Mechaton, this is a little bigger than the other vehicles I've built. Also, in scale the trailer is only 20' long.
This is my second try to build a microscale Supermarine Spitfire. I made many improvements to the first version.
The 'sea' consists out of blue, dk blue, light blue and white flags which create the wave effect. I also added some yellow flags to simulate a beach/shoreline.
The galleon itself consists out of a bicorner minifig. hat which serves as hull while white pauldrons make the sails.

When this got MOTD on MOCpages, I decided to post it here since I hadn't posted a picture of it on Flickr.
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.
The Golden Sands Hotel is one of the main attractions of Las LegoVegas. Gold everywhere, makes the client feel rich already ( although we know that gambling will only make you poorer )

It's interesting to try out different scales on the models. If they have kept some of the character after all details are gone, and almost reduced to something abstract, I'm happy with composition. This one loses a lot when reduced, but still better than what I expected.
One of the most distinctive features of the Tomcat is its variable geometry wing. Small scale is not an excuse to not have it on this model as well.
This is also the first time I have use a light box to photograph Lego. Are some of you using fishing line to suspend your work -or are you just shopping the supports out?
It took me four days to design (in my head) and build this 39-stud monster. Features include:
Hangar and opening hangar doors
Lego Power Functions hangar lights
Removable roof
Four 'SkyTank' defence aircraft
22 cannon.
I had to almost completely re-design the rear of the craft to accommodate the PF battery box, which was a surprisingly fun challenge.
The Dreadnought is a flying defence platform/command centre for my micro fleet. It is designed to float above the Earth indefinitely.

I thought the van would be way cooler in micro than in airplane mode. Inspired by The LEGO Movie Polybag, www.dagsbricks.com/2014/02/set-review-lego-movie-accessor...
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.
With gearshift and steering wheel, held in place by a lever arm.

Built for the Mini Camper contest on Eurobricks.
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!
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.

The section on the left (facing East) shows the main living area, which flows through from the courtyard to the back yard. The section on the right (facing West) shows the kitchen, a loft over an enclosed bathroom, and a work area facing North.

I intended the black sections to erupt and contrast the smooth blank bley blocks (see insert) but I tried and it looked like shit so I simplified. Nearly scrapped it but I think the bridge saves it. Gotta stop looking at minimalist architecture books...
Designed around a massive spinal mount, its primary mission is as a quick-strike vessel. The missile bays are more of a defensive weapon used to keep the vessel alive while it focuses on its ship-killing mission.
Designer's Notes:
Built as a companion to the battlecruiser and Death's Head Destroyer.
