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.

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 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.
mini modular3 Grand Emporium Annex
"By success of Grand Emporium, the shop owner made a decision to make the Annex to expand the market for more younger generations. -Bricksville Times-"
(left: Grand Emporium /original #10230, right: the Annex /MOC)
MCS All-purpose design. Easily fitted for multiple uses, but built with speed and maneuverability as primary considerations.
Photo quality is terrible, as this photo was just meant to quickly catalogue a long-standing and previously undocumented MOC.
Another view of Foundry's Excalibur Lite Picket Destroyer- ***Please excuse my attempt at fluff.***
This variant is equiped with extra shield generators allowing these vessels to return from the most extreme missions.
It also has duel drives that had been designed for a much larger ship. When the contract for a cruiser was canceled, there was a surplus of preordered drives. A young engineer came up with this destroyer design to use the surplus drives and with his accepted proposal won the coveted Foundation award. With such a high thrust to tonnage ratio they are the fastest in their class.
The combination of sheilds and speed make up for the lack of heavy weaponry.
They were in high demand up to the moment the shipyards around the planet Foundry were destroyed in the invasion.

Due to the size of the flagship I needed very small ships to represent the escort ships. My intention was to have an elongated escort similer to the flagship.
Plan to add stickers to finalize the build.
Clearly an attempt to reproduce one of Le Corbusier's masterpieces in LEGO microscale.
lots of pics in my photostream: feel free to view, like and comment.
Thx
I had a blast building these ships with my little bros. It was hard because we've never really had the experience of building at micro scale, but it was fun! I think however, that some of the ships are cooler in our head than they are in real life haha
I've wanted to use these technic pieces for a while, but Jameson42's Martian Fighter is what really prompted me to do so.
The TRD- 1 serves as a regional exploration and reconnaissance dropship for the Tolsat Commune, a small colony on the moon of Tanthis IV. Because of a resource-rich environment, and their normally peaceful lifestyle, the Commune has had difficulty with the Kaanan Confederacy encroaching upon their territories from the Inner Belt in an effort to gain economical influence within the Ignus Star System. Because of the Confederacy's direct violation of the Intra-system Concordance Agreement Act, Tanthis Prime has decided to directly fund the actions of the Commune's growing militia in an effort to prepare them in the event of small-scale war.
So far, patroling the Tolsat regions on Tanthis IV has served to keep interactions down to a level of minor conflict, but news of a newly redesigned Kaanan Starfighter is setting the Tanthis Plantary System abuzz, reaching as far as the Outer Belt.
This was an attempt at a microscale backhoe. I think it turned out okay. I just need to get a pair of arms in a better color.
