Not so rag-tag fleet
Stepping away from BrickCon pics, Einon has a great Imperial fleet. He says he's going to make an opposing force in light gray and will stage naval battles. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these.

Kingdom in a box
You've heard of a ship in a bottle. How about a kingdom in a box?

Winter Toy Shop
New set 10199, Winter Toy Shop is now available on lego.com.
Okay, you say, that's a nice looking set. But why mention it here? It's a minifig set. Well, look closely at the details:
There's a really nice toy train built at microscale. There's also a microscale toy car - you can see it under the tree in the box picture above. Nice to see the mixing of scales here.

city corner
Flickr user karlongchan presents a micropolis street corner that was displayed at a BayLUG meeting.
Another photo shows the playground, which uses a slotted slope as the stairs to a slide.
UPDATE: This MOC was built by Bill Ward, who has posted his own photos on his website and on on flickr.

space tank
Fredoichi keeps cranking out terrific microscale mocs. The latest is this tiny tank bristling with weaponry. The color scheme makes it fit right in with a classic space moonbase.

Crises has posted this very cool Micro Invasion. I love the little UFO, and the building falling apart. Be sure to also check out the other creation he linked to in his first comment, using the same UFO.

We meet again
-Vulcan- recreates the classic duel from Star Wars IV. I'm linking this here due to the use of a micro Millennium Falcon in the background to create perspective. I think the 1x1 rounds as Stormies isn't quite as successful in this instance. Via Lego Diem.

Inspired by Shannonia, Flickr user theoboyd created his own Micropolis.
(Just like Shannonia, it's not built on the Micropolis standard.)
