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!
Hopefully I can add some better quality photos later.
The police HQ, unlike The Rockaway, was not based on a real building. It was based on what was abundant in the Pick-A-Brick wall. ;-)
A pair of microscale space escort frigates -- the Valiant and Charon. These gun platforms guard carriers and other capital ships in convoys.
The A-7 Shuttler is the Uippeden Corporations seventh custom made GARC racers. Uippeden Corp.’s first two racers where utter failures and the last five have been destroyed or damaged beyond repair but they aren’t making that mistake this time. The A-7 Shuttler has a reinforced, flexible tetra-metal spine and a top secret exoskeleton shell that is rumored to be made out of alemnuuim the strongest and most expesive metal in the galaxy. The A-7 Shuttler can just blast through most mid-sized asteroids granted she has enough speed. And speaking of speed, the A-7 Shuttler has two Hubey engines that boast more torque and acceleration than the average GARC, but she sacrifices speed and computing/sensory power. It is said that the A-7 Shuttler is one of the most difficult GARC racers to fly because of her information age like computers and sensors; thus Uippeden Corp. has hired the best pilot and co-pilot who quite literally risk there life every time they race! So far the A-7 hasn’t won any races but came awfully close last season during the 50:1 Main Belt Race placing second. This year however, the A-7 is a poplar favorite and is currently ranked 6th in the current pre-season standings (she preformed exceptional during the post-season). Uippeden Corp. is looking for a big win this year and maybe even the Quata-GARC trophy!

A microscale version of the 6701 Minifig Pack.
I made this creation to a contest at my LUG (Comunidade 0937). The theme was microscale versions of LEGO sets
Featuring both my IPAs, a guy in blue (maybe a police officer?), and a woman is white (so maybe a nurse?).
Finally digitized this creation. It has a few more fixes, namely a more clear interior, folding fins, better guns, and rear landing gear. The arms also move up and down at the shoulder area slightly but I forgot to animate that. There are instructions for this model here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47640/TheRealBeef1213/prowler
while you can see the whole inside here you can only access the troop bay in real life.
here is a animation of the new pods in action: imgur.com/8LIaAfc
Junk Jet n°4 was combing through studios, laboratories, and garages to find those works and theories that make 1 become 2, 2 become 3, 3 …, works that make something out of nothing or nothing out of something, that discover new – even if microscaled – galaxies, that believe in alchemy and maintain a certain kind of apocalyptic thought; works that move from mumbo-jumbo to real magic and back.
Junk Jet daydreamt of alga plantations, crystal architectures, optical jamboree, synthetic foam buildings, multimagic rainbow colorings, of all that has the potential to question contemporary design and architecture and its statistical rationality. Junk Jet nightdreamt of something that has the potential to fluidize what has become monumental, of something that speculates on speculation. Something that is able to create an alternative universe, in which thrilling transformation, mystic metamorphosis, and insane invention build up a modern wunderkammer, a visionary show window and a living laboratory. It asked for contributions from those who turn the everyday into the unique and the ordinary into the xxxxxxtra-ordaniary.

Another view on the launching!
This mech was kind of influenced by memories of the Archer mech from back in the days of playing Battletech!
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
Once it was discovered that the Confederacy was occupying the surrounding marshland, the Tolsat Commune sent word back to Tanthis Prime for their continued support.
Knowing that the Confederacy's occupancy was more attributed to common theivery than all-out invasion, and in an effort to continue to keep conflict at a minimum, Tandis Prime supplied the Tolsat Militia with a small fleet of aquatically capable craft with which to extend their patrols.
Though not combat capable themselves, it became common for the Commune to retrofit these craft with the ability to deploy low-grade explosive capsules into the shallow waters to push the Confederacy completely out of the region.
Step 3
here is the tricky part.
use the flexibility of tree leaf parts and trust in durability of genuine lego parts ;-)
as threatened, I'm uploading individual pics of the houses in this microscale MOC
this is the white house in the middle
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.
An Oragutan can use it's feet to grab thing's and then move on his arms like legs. The chameleon doesn't need to move like that because this mode are used mostly in space to maximal it's carrying capacity.,

The result of experimenting with the new technique I invented for making the towers. It was simply sticking cogwheels on axles, and that's what was the effect.
