I made this microscale version of the LEGO set 1592 in 2004. At that time there was some kind of challenge going on on 1000steine.de - the idea was to make different version of this set.

mini modular4 Pet Shop (building study in 4 x 8 fashion)
Its still far from original modular Pet Shop.
I have not get success to hidaway the inner structure of the 1st floor stairway entrancethat is made of 5 plate width. I hope "1 x 2 tile with door rail" is officialy released...
The 2nd floor is too monotony. The 3rd floor as well...
I have to find out how to make better presentation.
It was the result of a long discussion with Lego Monster about aircraft carriers and whether it would be possible to build realistic jets on a smaller scale than I normally do. I think the answer is affirmative, but not without a few headaches.
When Hyperion Industries released their X1-A25 "Wasp", it quickly became the standard for fighter craft. Two modified artillery cannons were bolted onto a novel platform that enabled a three-person crew to make devastating attacks against other fightercraft and even, in one instance, a T-59 destroyer. It remains a potent weapon to this day.

This is about the limit of my building skills :P
Thought I'd try a microscale mediaval build, and this is the result.
Slight angle shot of the Eureka Tower showing the offset side towers and the gold top a little clearer
This is a way scaled down version of this www.flickr.com/photos/30186055@N07/3254921062/
Inspired by Magnus Lauglo, Aleksander Stein, Chandler Parker, and Mike Yoder I have created a microscale modern army faction. Still a WIP but I like the colors and look so far. Still hoping to add support vehicles and aircraft soon. Also, better pictures are on the list as I took these on my phone on my way out the door this morning.
In the beginning of space travel, the ranges of FTL travel were limited to the drives themselves. As time went on, drives became more advanced and ships began to rely more on fuel. Captains had to pack their cargo holds with fuel or find somewhere to stop and refill.
Out on the Galactic Rim (where a hold full of cargo is an explosive possibility) independently minded people have been quick to take advantage. Like the hermit crabs of old Earth, purveyors of these refuelling depots find a suitable rock, burrow inside, set up basic life support and open as a going concern.
Captains usually set themselves up in very densely populated asteroid belts and have the ability to shut down all beacons and power and become undetectable at a moment's notice. The threat of fuel pirates are an ever present one and depot captains often contract mercenaries for protection during times of local upheaval.
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)
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!
Buildings for the micropolis standard promulgated by TwinLUG. Read more www.brickpile.com/2009/04/16/micropolis-buildings/.
The Chrysler Building has always been my favourite skyscraper, and I have wanted to build a Lego model of it for a long time. I initially intended this model to be to scale with the official Empire State Building Architecture set, but due to the difference in size between the two buildings, I decided to build it in a slightly larger scale so that the models would look good next to each other on display.
I am not 100% happy with the upper crown/spire section, and will no doubt continue to tinker with it.
I originally built this model in Jan/Feb 2020.
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 Chinese had a civil war over it too; "off with his head!" as a general punishment eventually leads to dissenters and petty criminals deciding to become revolutionaries, on the grounds that they're dead anyway and they might just be able to fight their way out.
The quads are eighty tonner Garmr or Garmar; I'm not sure on Old Norse plurals. Think the latter is correct, and they're all centuries dead so it doesn't much matter, but eh.
The big bipeds are seventy tonne Anastasius' - I'm fuzzy on given name plurals too, I think they just use an apostrophe.
The teeny ones are a bit complex; the ones with four weapons are Silver Wolves, the one with the left side binoculars is a Scarlet Wolf, and the one with the big gun is a Cobalt Wolf.
The familiar middle-sized bipeds with the shoulder cannon are fifty tonne Flamberges; to get an idea of what kind of conflict the Uncivil War was, Flamberge units quite often had loss rates above 300%.
Of course, part of that is because they were short range machines intended to go up against Furies.
Think I managed to sort out the rendering; these certainly have the glossy look of real black bricks.
This is the fleet of vehicles used in my construction dio. (I suppose the crane is more a machine than a vehicle.)
Trains built for my microscale train station (www.flickr.com/photos/rt_bricks/8546182660/in/set-7215763...). Each engine/car is detachable. They actually slide in the rails of the microscale tracks, but of course, do not go around corners at all well.
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
Sometimes, a navy wants a rugged, old-fashioned capital ship which dish out punishment and take even more. The newer navies and militaries consider this view quite out of date, and the FG-10 is a successful product of this modern warfare.
SyncTech, a Sweedish-Korean company, produced the vessel for their respective navies, but it has been produced under licence for several other states, and the idea copied by even more.
A true stand-off weapon, the ship is minimally armed for conventional ship-to-ship (STS) and anti-fighter warfare. It's main potency comes from the four cruise missile launchers, able to fire in serial or in sequence, at other ships, at space platforms or planets. Although slow enough to be destroyed by specialised point defence cannons, the FG-10 is able to destroy much without having to get into cannon range at all.
At close-range, the Frigate is no match for a ship as small as the BB-22, but with proper escort and intelligent use, it can be used as an anti-capital ship threat, as well as to destroy space platforms and assault entire planets.
Length: 220m
Crew: 74.
Armament: 4 x fast tracking ion turrets, 2 x Quad STS flak cannon.
2 x dual Sorsvig-class Cruise Missile batteries. Limited ammunition.
Computer: Siemens Y2-modular.

it's been a long time but I'm finally working on something. Not a big thing, just one building. But it's a big step forward.
A microscale "arctic" version of the Batmobile, built especially for the Mini Battle for the Batcave project on LEGO Ideas:
ideas.lego.com/projects/120166
The project is a collaboration between Omar Ovalle, Mike Reilly and myself. I designed and built the Batmobile and Batman microfigure. Omar Ovalle did the graphic design for this particular photo, as well as for other illustrations associated with the project. To see more of Omar's work, be sure to check out his flickr page:
The Verreaux-class transporter shows, once again, that Blacktron will brazenly copy any proven spacecraft design.
LIttle microscale models for my London Map WIP. I am trying to keep them within a 4x6 stud base, and just extending a little if I need to.
