The title gives it away, a micro castle. You can see some of the arrow slits in the towers and the plant life around the walls.
top view of the cheap hotel block.sorry for the bad picture, I have no access to my usual camera and this is done with the phone.

Canal modules for Micropolis, inspired by work by Christian Benito @chbenito aka Little Brick Root. See more info on my blog at brickpile.com.
Imagine an ancient fortification taken over and expanded by a dark power.
A study in angles, snot and windowmaking, but really I wanted to build a big fat castle!
The Verreaux-class transporter shows, once again, that Blacktron will brazenly copy any proven spacecraft design.
This previous photo shows how to finish one edge of a Micropolis module. But what if that module sits on the corner? This second proposed street module has an extra bit to make 90° turns. Get the instructions at dagsbricks.blogspot.com/2013/05/lego-micropolis-finish-ed...
our little Alien Friend manages to climb to where he's parked his Flying Saucer and he flies away before the parking ticket expires ...

As most Historicans know, the Doctors of Historica at the University of Petraea are unrivaled at applying their knowledge to the betterment of Kaliphlin, but they hide perhaps some of their most impressive achievements. One of these are the great sun rays guarding the entrance to the Inland Sea. As a Ulandan privateer found out, there is no "sneaking" through the shelter islands to the Inland Sea. The great sun rays collect the intense Kaliphlin sun through a reflecting dish and through a series of lenses provided by the University, turn the sunshine into an intensely destructive ray of light and heat. The privateers' ship never stood a chance.
After coming up with a variation to my starfury microscale ship to create a thunderbolt, I used a similar technique to come up with my all time favourite starfighter. The GunStar. The 3 forward turrets are included along with the pilot's cockpit and the gunnery cockpit.
I've created a couple "in the brick" which I'll bring along to the NSC this coming weekend. If I get chance I might experiment with some stickers for the death blossom doors and the wing markings.
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

The train cargo yard
The lines are connected by a line switch disk (the two large disks on the very left) that turn to help the articulated trains to take on a new track if needed, also there are cranes around to help the trains whit their cargo.
The building in the middle is the control tower, complete whit communication whit nearby stations and incoming trains
The trainstation master office can see to the inside of the building and to the trainyard whitout problems as it has windows on both sides
The front gates allow cargo trucks to get to the trains whitout heavy maneuvering and there are watchtowers above everyone wich also houses the personnel acces on the small doors on the left and right of the middle fence (yes, i took inspiration from the jurassic park gates for these)
The building on the top left corner is the maintenance office
Albacore-class fighter was developed as a FTL-capable for the Commonwealth Royal Navy's Colonial Defence Force (CDF), able to operate independent of a carrier.
It's streamlined ion-engine gives the Albacore a high sublight speed, a modulated shielding system gives add protection.
The CDF operates only one squadron of the ships, known as the 'Black Aces' who operate throughout British Outer Rim territories. Only rarely seen, the 'Aces leave few survivors in their wake.
Like most strike fighters, it is extremely expensive to produce and replace and demands quality, expert personnel. Rarely risked, the Albacore is a sight to be feared by enemies and cheered by allies.
Manufacturer: de Havilland
Role: FTL-capable Fighter
Length: 12m
Crew: 2
Weaponry: 2 x Heavy Mass Drivers (forward facing)
Shields/Armour: Heavy/Medium
FTL: Capable (short-range)
Floating island in the shape of gear.
You can see house, shed, satelite, pier, well, garden and antigravitation system, which is underneath :)
I'm kind of combining the techniques and looks from this picture by Zeekhotep. This is an update of an old picture with bad lighting taken back in 2010.
most Saturdays get too busy.
then, from time to time, there is the exception. A precious day like today, when I haven't got anything that I HAVE to do. And the weather is miserable. So I can blissfully stay in my lair, building...
Stree level view from the cargo yard
Here the inspiration from jurassic park fences is so obvious, these are built this way to contrast the big windows on the station, gates faces up, windows faces down
I built these border segments to provide a clean edge to my Micropolis display. Built for Bricks by the Bay 2020 virtual convention. See brickpile.com for more.
All that is left of a once proud fleet. (Seriously.)
I hope to upload some more later today, I just have to finish editing it.
A product of years of modification, The Daresay'd is a half-freighter, half-gunship of meticulous and difficult design. The reactor runs right through the middle, four independently tiltable engines slaved closely to it, able to transfer power to it and each other at will. The pilot and the co-pilot sit in rather cramped conditions above this set-up, the latter responsible solely for power management and boost manipulation. Carrying on the theme, the ship has two tracking ion turrets, effective against fighters, other gunships and smaller capital vessels.
The personal steed of the Dread Pirate Val'sofilees, The Daresay'd is spoken of in hushed tones throughout the fringes of the galaxy. Sometimes travelling alone, but often with two highly trained swingwing outriders, most freighter captains drop their cargo and run at the sight of the ship's IFF signal alone.
