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.
The Infiltrator is the latest Assault Star Ship from Space Homeys Interstellar Technologiesâ„¢. It is designed as a First-Line-Of-Offense (FLOO) fighter craft. Its deadly oversized blasters are used to double the penetrating power against enemy lines. The ruggedized hull can withstand heavy bombardment whether the mode of attack is direct frontal assault or sneak attack from behind.

Weaponry: 2 MegaFistâ„¢ Ion Blasters
Manufacturer: Space Homeys Interstellar Technologiesâ„¢
Personnel: One (Ace Pilot Woody Shrivelle)
MILUG did a stud-free scene build challenge and I decided to go with microscale. I had lots of fun experimenting with different parts to build the rides!
The Old Dominion is an aging utility craft usually tasked with ferrying miners and supplies to various asteroid and moon mining operations in the Taldron system.
It's most notorious cargo were 4 elephants for one mining stations manager's wife. He spent a years worth of pay to have them brought to the moon where she wanted to use them as a way to entertain the children. Lets just say the elephants weren't thrilled about the ride.
A little Blacktron station for Mechaton. I copied the triangle-within-a-triangle motif (though with truncated triangles), but wasn't think very hard and got the colors inverted.
a micro Barbatos. It has (almost!) full articulation (the knees don't bend far enough for my liking) I had to redesign the chest many times till i settled on that solution.
This is just a little tanker I whipped up to toy with some microscale stuff. It's generally used to ferry drinking water to barren worlds.
I was really in the mood for asymmetrical bridges that day.
In the space no one can hear when you....
drop out the Garbage..
So this is why it's so hard the Spacetruck work.
The Seagram Building is an Icon of Modernist architecture designed by 2 great architects Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe and Phillip Johnson. Johnson designed the interior of the building and Mies designed the Exterior the Lobby and Plaza.(The model was inspired by Spencer Rezkalla. 100 East 53rd Street is a super slender designed by Norman Foster. The building is 711 feet tall.

This is the Death Star in the all new Mega Micro scale. Top view.
In this scene I wanted to recreate the iconic Death Star trench run. As you can tell in the side view picture, this is just after Luke assumes command of the third wave in the trench. Behind Luke, you can see Biggs and Wedge giving cover. Just a bit behind them, you can just barely make out Darth Vader and his two wingmen giving chase. If you look really closely at the top view, you can just barely make out Han Solo returning to help save the day, although he is not yet in range to shoot at the TIE Fighters. At this point, Luke is still about 20 kilometers from the exhaust port. The hardest part of this MOC was getting the look of the Y-Wing wreckage amidst the defensive cannons on the edge of the trench.
constructed using part 40607 Rubber Band / Belt Holder 6 x 3 x 3 which was considered to be unusable and not worth selling in a BL discussion. The ship is sandwiched around the holder and is stressed because of the 2 to 3 stud angle.
...five minutes after the render finishes it's got a new profile and doesn't look so much like a camel anymore.
Height is necessary; there's three engine ports at the back.
One's hidden by the tail.
Haven't statted it out- don't know much about Aerotech -but at a guess I'd say it's about 150 - 200 tonnes.
The song linked to in the render isn't quite accurate; it's a conventional aircraft, not an aerospace fighter- technically if it were space-capable it'd be an aerodyne Small Craft, as fighters max out at 100t -so it's restricted to atmo.
Or maybe it's a super-microscale landing craft, and mecha would be two plates tall at this scale. Either or. Probably just a bomber, though.
