Matryoshka dolls

In a great entry to the Classic-Space Fanboy Cover Contest, Keith Goldman has a great micro version of Dan Hamann's Container Shuttle Craft. As in the original, the bay opens up to bring out special cargo, in this case an even smaller iteration, apparently built by the minifig of Prof. Whateverly.

It's been busy

I've been really swamped lately so haven't been able to put up regular posts. I've got a backlog of great MOCs to highlight, but for the moment let's check out Kyo-Hina's houses and Gongfu's cliffside.

Fanboy

The Fanboy Cover Contest keeps generating great creations, such as Wintermute's microsized version of Mark Sandlin's Asmodeus and Zachmoe's tiny version of Danny Rice's Porphyrion.

Greenery

Noddy has a nice skyscraper scene. What makes this one stand out to me is not the buildings, but the treatment of greenery. The cone trees are placed on normal and offset studs in a way that seems very organic, and the mostly-tiled look is great at making the few exposed green studs appear as bushes.

Microhio

Builder BB has a Microhio project, with prominent buildings from around Ohio, including the Leveque Tower (here is the original and the Atlas building (I think this is the original).

Micro fanboy contest

I recently blogged Wintermute's micro version of a large Dan Jassim MOC. I've learned that this is for the Fanboy Cover Contest. Spacers are challenged to build microscale versions of other Spacers' MOCs. Two more entries include Smartiac's micro rendition of Chris Giddens' Fazoom-o-craft and Chris Edwards' rendition of Mark Stafford's Gothica.

Microspacetopia icon

Every month or so the Microspacetopia Flickr group holds a contest to replace their icon. The October contest focused on gun turrets, and was won by BlindBricks. The November/December contest is about micro communications arrays. It looks like there are no entries right now, so hurry over and post something and you'll probably win. :)

Merry Christmas

I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas. What better way to celebrate than finishing up MisaQa's Advent calendar? After building a new micro building for each day of Advent, she puts them all together into a great town layout.

Micro Jamie

Jamie Berard, designer of the awesome Cafe Corner set, built this Mini Cafe Corner as a gift for a friend who was leaving for a new job.

Here comes Santa Claus, right down a teeny tiny lane

MisaQa continues her great Advent Calendar. Further entries include the Station, Express Train, and Community Center.

Regent

I always love it when people do microscale tributes to other people's MOCs. Here Wintermute makes a micro Regent after Dan Jassim's massive Regent.

Baby Dock

Mike Yoder (no surprise here) presents an awesome layout, the Drydock5 at the North Central Positronics shipyard. This is just packed full of details, so you really have to take some time to go through the folder. One of my favorite details is the reconstruction of other AFOLs MOCs, such as Dan Jassim's Nasal Avenger.




While we're in his folder, Mike also just posted this Thundercouger heavy fighter.

Seventh Day Adventish

MisaQa is continuing her great Advent Calendar project. Follow that link for daily updates. So far she has posted seven separate creations, including the Sky Plaza and a Pastoral Hospital.




I hope that at the end of the project we'll see a layout with all of these buildings forming one big town.

The starriest of wars

RogueBantha may well be the king of microscale Star Wars creations. Creations by him in the last couple of months include ...

an Extended Universe TIE Crawler,


what he calls "hypermini" Slave 1 and Republic Gunship,


and most ambitiously, the Grand Army of the Republic.

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.

A refined MOC

Anthony Yagelsky presents an Octan oil refinery.

Flame on

I always thought of the stump element as one of those too-juniorized single-use pieces. Not so. Crises comes up with an innovative use in Volcano.

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.
