Hypercar and moonbuggy

Mantisking made these cute little cars: hypercar and moonbuggy.

MOCathalon

One of the categories in the 2012 MOCathalon is 'elephant and the fly', challenging builders to take a large scale model and microsize it. Dave Kaleta took the newly announce set 10224 down a notch to make his Mini Modular Town Hall.

Master Builder

If you sign up for the LEGO Master Builder Academy, for your $60 subscription you get five kits, access to online content, and instructions on how to build like a 'real master builder'. Anyway, one of the kits last year was 20201 - Microscale.

Triport

I've been meaning to post this one for a bit, Rogue Bantha's Triport Spire.

Mogami

Markosbears amazing model of the IJN Light Cruiser Mogami.

Micropolis at family building event

TwinLUG members Nathan and Jennifer set up a Micropolis display for a family LEGO building event last weekend. That's Gary's maze in the lower left.

The event was held at Leonardo's Basement, which runs science, art, and technology programs for youth and adults in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Photos of the kids' projects can be seen here.



Wish I had taken more photos.

Royal Tour

Si-MOCs made this great castle to act as a backdrop for a fig-scale scene.

Give me your tiny, your poor, your huddled masses

Seth Christie put the new Statue of Liberty fig in an appropriate setting.



Jbuttles also made a version of this.

GoRiLLaWeR made this micropolis version of the Eiffel Tower.

Golden Gate

Mariann Asanuma built this great Golden Gate Bridge just in time for the upcoming Bricks by the Bay. If you like it, she's even selling key chains and earrings based on the design.

Let's fix that lean

Moctown gives us Sumo Power.

Plastic Zeppelin

Jeroen Ottens posted this great Hindenberg to Cuusoo. Thanks to his brother Maarten for the heads-up.

Courthouse

Luap31 built this rendition of the Kenosha County Courthouse for a contest. Presumably it is now being incorporated into his great BrickVille layout.

LEGO Minecraft

The upcoming LEGO Minecraft set chosen by Cuusoo users was recently announced at the LEGO World gathering in Denmark, and it is also showing up on such sites as Brickset, FBTB and the LEGO Cuusoo blog (and, amazingly, LEGO seems to have redesigned the press page of their site - I've complained in the past that they never seemed to post their press releases to their own site, so I'd get things like the official press release of the Tolkien theme, or the DC/Marvel themes via other fan sites). Anyway, I guess this counts as microscale. I don't play Minecraft, but these look like the Minecraft pictures I've seen. Mostly I see these as basic brick, plate, and particularly 1x1 tile parts packs. I'll be interested to see a parts breakdown to see if they are cost effective in this manner. That said, I'm sure Minecraft players will greatly enjoy this set and expand upon it from their collections.

Five Stud Kingdom

Siercon and Coral came up with the micro-est of castle MOCs, a five stud kingdom.

Leaving orbit

Karf Oolhu's Leaving orbit makes great use of the new planet sphere and also the globe.

Microspace

Doctor Mobius and SKotK are collaborating on a great project. They plan to recreate all of the original Classic Space line in micro form. They've already created a lot of iconic sets.


I particularly appreciate this one, as set 487 was my first Big LEGO set:

The X-1 Patrol Craft was another of my favorites as a kid:

A day in the park

The EB Star Wars Forums stream has this great scene: A Day in the Park.

Mini Modulars

Over on Brickset they note that set 10230, Mini-Modulars that was announced last year (at BrickCon?) is now available on lego.com. Apparently for the moment this is for LEGO VIP's only.

War of the Tiny Little Worlds

Bricko presents this great little War of the Worlds scene. Via Brickd.
