Space battle
Nnenn presents a great space battle. As he describes it: "Depiction of the Mesa 6 standoff- Rushki forces held the corridor without contest for 17 days before a Jway ECM cruiser and escort arrived and began broadcasting. Rushki warbirds are notoriously weak, but sans guidance systems they never had a chance."

It's all over but the chasing
LUGPol has been recently running a contest/game about policemen and thieves. As part of this, Crises has created a great Chase in the micro city. I love all the details like the subway underground, gravestones in the churchyard, and pollution in the river.

Brick Bash
If you were lucky enough to attend the recent Brick Bash in Ann Arbor, you had the opportunity to see Spencer Rezkalla's micro version of the Renaissance Center from Detroit and his micro renditon of the Taipei 101 building from Taiwan. Brickshelf galleries are here and here.
Microloverman
Pete Reid was recently interviewed on LAML Radio. This led me to check out his Brickshelf gallery, where I found some nice micro space MOCs, including miniaturizations of set 497, Galaxy Explorer, and 6941, Battrax.

Micro Moonbase
I keep telling myself that one of these days I'll get around to writing an extensive article on standards, such as the Micro Moonbase standard suggested by Bram Lambrecht. Andrew Lee uses this standard to create Space Police and industrial moonbase modules. I really like that he includes representations of set 6895, Spy-Trak I, and set 6886, Galactic Peace Keeper. I'm not sure if these are entries, but Classic-Space.com is now hosting a Building the Future that Never Was contest, and two of the categories are micro moonbase module and micro vehicle are two of the categories. Entries will go in this Flickr group and you can rest assured that this blog will report on the micro aspects of this contest.
