Mixing of scales

Pe668 mixes fig and micro scales effectively in the Legend of Captain Blood Beard, an entry for the Pillage the Village contest on Classic-Pirates. That micro rendition of the Black Seas Barracuda is a great MOC in it's own right.

Like a bridge over tiny waters, I will lay me down

I'm not sure what group is running a contest on bridges, but Alexandr's bridge should probably win it.

And the winner is ...

I always love the trophies built for fan fests. They're a great opportunity to build small MOCs like micro or vigs. Here is the trophy for CC City Building from BrickCon. Tedward built it and Caylin won it.

Where the streets have no name

It looks like Fox2006 is using LEGO Factory to create a series of minitown street sections that can be put together to make a larger layout. He shows all of the pieces involved so it would be easy to make some for your own microscale city display.
