The C.M.S. is a very complex machine but it can be controlled by only an expert of machines.
Hopefully Chris is a talented pilot, and he is ready for the missions!
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
A couple of microscale jets, a regular fighter on the left and a stealth one on the right. This is another update of a photo from 2010.
This week was supposed to be a break from Lego. Instead, I lasted 2 days. Oh well.
Since Brickworld, I've been wanting to do something in Micropolis-scale. No idea what the large building houses. Didn't really think about it when I built it. The coffee shop is just a coffee shop.
Artistic view. While moving things around to take photos I happen to look down and thought this view looked interesting.
Everybody loves the 2-T Twin Pod racer! The 2-T Twin Pod racer is billion/philosopher Nathan Hildums personal GARC racer. It was dubbed T-T by Nathan’s daughter, such an innocent name for such a ruthless fighter. Nathan Hildums is not shy to bending the rules when he knows he can get away with it. T-T has been fined and suspended numerous times for “offensive interference” and “unlawful energy boosters (weapons!).” But that hasn’t stopped her from winning a few races back in the [3061] season. T-T was built from two F-222 Earthen starfighters now permanently fused together. Her engines have also been modified to an exceptional degree; she is nowhere near the fastest or [acceleratorest] racer but she is arguably the nimblest, agilest, maneuverable racer. It was said that during her testing fazes she was able shoot the Gondelloudum canyon in less than 15 minutes! Until the last two seasons T-T has been piloted Nathan Hildums himself and whomever he could find as a co-pilot, but now he has given up his position as pilot to his son-in-law who is crazier then him… In all her history T-T has never won a race and the lowest she’s come in the rankings is 43rd place. Regardless T-T is always a crowd favorite picking a fight with anyone and everyone – and usually winning the fight.

Ma ville en miniature, grosse prise de tête! Du coup admiration au max pour les afols qui pratiquent le microscale!

This is a custom imperial base I built in micro-scale (roughly in scale with the 75329 Trench Run). The microfigs are technically a bit to big for the actual scale of the base, but it's pretty close.
It features a front gate with an elevated landing platform and a back gate that leads to the surrounding wilderness. The landing platform can accommodate most small to medium-sized imperial ships, up to and including a Gozanti-class cruiser.
The interior if the base is sized to fit the standard set of Imperial vehicles, including AT-ATs and TIE fighters, and includes boarding gantries for both.
The design of the base came from a number of different sources
- The landing platform was originally inspired by the Endor platforms from ROTJ, but takes most of its design from the cliffside base in The Mandalorian S2E2 "The Siege" and the Imperial Base on Zeffo from Jedi: Fallen Order.
- The command center pulls from those two locations as well, plus general imperial starship bridges, especially the Class 546 Arquitens.
- Most of the interior is based on Imperial Starship hangars, especially the ISD hangar from Squadrons. Getting the angled design of the floor to work was quite interesting.

Created by a student in one of my LEGO Micro Design classes.
I'm pretty sure that the student was inspired by a photo of Janey Red Brick's Floating City.
Here you can see the arts spire, Hammer Hall, the Yarra (more blue than Brown in this model) and Alexandra Gardens.

A commission I did a few years ago for Elemental in their old building. Sam also asked for the rest of the Broadway block face.
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.
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.
