March Madness: Midwest Micro events

On Saturday, March 2, Jennifer Heaton and Nathan Stohlmann will display their collection of Micropolis modules from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the St. Anthony Park Library, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The event is not on the library's online calendar. If you need more info, leave a comment below. (Shown below is a smaller display of their work, previously featured on MicroBricks.)



What would you do with 60,000 bricks? Two Iowa guys have designed a scale model of the Science Center of Iowa, and you are invited to help construct the model. Building takes place March 16 and 17 at the Science Center of Iowa. (Shown below is a nano-scale model of the Science Center, which will be available for purchase at the center's gift store.)

Day the Earth Stood Still

I really need to go back and mine the recent Micro Sci-Fi contest for blog posts. I really loved Kristi McWii's Day the Earth Stood Still.

Smurfy-good

Maybe I shouldn't call this micro at all. The techniques are definitely micro, but these Smurfs by Spidertoutouille are probably actually larger than minifig scale.

Micropolis

TwinLUG met this weekend, and, as you can imagine, Micropolis made a showing. Two of my favorites are these by either Nathan Stohlmann or Jennifer Heaton.

Mountain Train

Jason Alleman must be doing something right, because his girlfriend is a pretty amazing micro builder. She made this train.
