Runs on Nuclear power or on his own Nuclear reactor build into the train. Cooling water gets reused in toillets to reduce the Carbon footprint. Does not leak as much as the Atomic Car.

I've been doing a lot of set building with my 3 yr old. As I'm building, he fishes through the pieces and builds little creations of his own. At first, he was just randomly combining pieces, but recently he has been building "spaceships". These tend to be pretty ephemeral when I need the pieces to cpmplete whatever we are building, This one was just too good, I had to at least photograph it before I needed the parts.
The Rhino Heavy Assault Mech is used for attacking enemy strongholds. It is fully automated with a sophisticated AI.
Built for the Robo-Mech contest over at LCN
The Galactic Rim is not home to cutting edge and modern technology, by definition. A significant time after the introduction of drone technology to interstellar exploration and combat within the Core Systems, the idea is beginning to catch on along the Rim.
Named after a Japanese beast of folklore, the IDS Ningyo is a modern drone deployment corvette for fire. The two computer-assisted flak turrets are purely for point defence. The real edge provided by the Ningyo is it's two drone deployment bays. The crew is trained to control, maintain and manipulate a wide variety of drone types, from combat models to logistics and salvage types.
Generally hired by smaller governments to provide high-tech support to their traditional navies, the Ningyo is respected by allies and feared by enemies. With such scant protection, however, it requires careful escort to keep safe and operational.
Displayed are two drones. One 77-type salvage model, with twin manipulator arms and one Lockheed 'Stealthstrike' attack drone designed for rapid, pinpoint strikes.
Length: 41m
Manufacturer: Custom-design, Hibayshi-made.
Crew: 4 bridge crew, 10 drone control staff.
Weaponry: 2 x fast-tracking flak turrets (top, bottom)
Special: 2 x drone bays (port, starboard)
After seeing Sam(us)' microscale, while a friend and I were building I came up with this. I had no idea how good of a light sunlight can be. It's not quite yet finished, I think.
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.

Have started laying out the general shape of the freighter "Great Northern Way" from Homeworld: Shipbreakers (www.flickr.com/photos/23360101@N03/13267940113/sizes/o/in...). Total length will likely be around 112 studs. The original image only shows the top of the ship, so the bottom half is left to my imagination. Currently contemplating putting containers there.
The thing I'm struggling with at the moment is the tapered shape of the main engine. The two WIP versions I have (The grey bits lying at the aft) are either too bulky or too wimpy.
Remember this? Well, I made this a while ago but never got round to photographing it or finishing it (hence the blank far end of the baseplate).
The Verreaux-class transporter shows, once again, that Blacktron will brazenly copy any proven spacecraft design.
This is a mini LEGO terrace house built for some dear friends of ours as a housewarming present. Back garden comes complete with shed, dog, decking and slide!
This is slightly more detailed version of micro market street originally planned for collaborative LDD build hosted on doublebrick.ru
The overall model design is heavily based on Market Street but scaled down and modified.

All parts come from the Police Lamborghini set. Bottom view, you can see the two smaller cannons, and the main weapon.
A slight modification of the nK-26 Armoured described here.
The arms have been changed to simple hinge plates. For one, it makes them look a bit tougher. Mainly, though, it's because I really needed the pneumatic t-pieces for other things and these little buggers used two of them per arm!
So, I envisage this as a combined arms tank hunting squadron. The guy on the left is the dedicated anti-armour guy, with his big missile launcher and anti-tank cannon. The middle chap provides cover against light units with his gatling gun and twin-barrel mortar. The right hand fellow is the comms/scout/spotting unit, with a powerful target illumination system, a light autocannon for close defence and two powerful one-shot rockets.
I know it's not really "Military", but it's my first mircoscale. It's the generator / air pump from the Mars Mission sets. Sorry about the bad picture quality (EDIT: My newer stuff looks loads better, my old camera was a piece of crap) . I hope these visual instructions make sense.
A 1:125 scale ship. It has a full interior as always. Though there is space for the bed and toilet I don't have the pieces for them. This is also why the ship is blue not grey.
The landing gear retracts though not very well. there is also a engine room added from the cross section of the ship. It is removable to access the lower cargo hold.
The lower hatch is also there but it is kept closed to keep the 3 stud wide part of the ship and the 4 stud wide part of the ship together.
