Christmas gift from MisaQa
For each of the past two years MisaQa has created an advent calendar, presenting one new MOC from a theme for each day of December leading up to Christmas. In 2005 it was birds. In 2006 it was dolls dressed up. This year MisaQa has started out the 2007 calendar with a microscale Town Hall. It looks like microscale town is this years theme! Given the previous high quality of MisaQa's creations, I'm pretty excited about this. You can bet that MicroBricks will document this ongoing series.

OTB Contest
I don't regularly read the Outside The Brick forum, so I missed the OTB Microscale Contest. The contest is over and results have been announced.
First goes to Ralph S's Interstellar Exploration Vessel John Archibald Wheeler.
Second goes to Samus' F-16 Medical Vessel "The Seeker".
Third place went to Andrew's Sling of David.

Mini-mizing your MOCs
I really like it when someone takes a fig-scale MOC and builds a microscale version. One recent example is ThePaleMan's mini version of Chris Giddens' original PCS SLAM.
While we're on this topic, in his recently blogged Space Pirates Lair, Dennis Coh included a ship that Nannan Z (newest member of the Brothers-Brick team - Welcome to blogging, Nannan!) pointed out is a remake of Dennis' fig scale Izanami's Revenge.
One more - a couple of years ago John Langrish posted a mini version of Jon Palmer's M-Wing.

Mini milis
I first saw these in pictures from LMO (LEGO MOC-Off) 2007, an annual gathering of Japanese AFOLs, but there weren't good clear pictures. Recently, though, Azumu has posted pictures of his AH-1S Cobra helicopter, his 90 Shiki tank, and his UH-1J helicopter.
While I'm here, someone at LMO 2007 brought this helicopter (a Havoc? an Agusta A129? Does anyone know?).

Traffic JaMMM
Readers of VignetteBricks will know of the regular Mini Moc Madness, or MMM, contests held by Lowlug. At regular intervals they challenge builders to express a certain theme on a 16x16 footprint. This time, the theme was Gladly that I drive. The winner was a microscale MOC, Mahjqa's Traffic Jam. I particularly love that little cement truck.

And now in ABS
I recently noted how Kecia Hansen is featured in the most recent issue of BrickJournal. Apparently for that article she built real life versions of some of her digital MOCs: castle and trains.

HRMC Project
GFLUG, the Greater Florida LEGO Users Group, was commissioned by an architectural firm that was renovating the Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, Florida, to build a LEGO version of the hospital. The architectural firm displayed this at a recent medical conference in Orlando and will soon be on display at the hospital. BTW, five builders finished this project in only two weekends!
Interestingly, they used a brick built fig solution that I'd never seen before, that puts the scale of this MOC at a little over half-minifig scale.

Nnenn wins
I don't know what the contest is, but if it has anything to do with microspace, Nnenn is probably the winner. Here are his fleetwars MOCs.
