A Portuguese town
I'll get back to NWBrickCon, but not all of the action is in Seattle this weekend. Tania Baixinho, of LegOficina dos Baixinhos, has built this town, apparently for a trivia contest. I know she reads this blog, so if you see this, Tania, let us know more about this
MicroCon
More micro goodness from NWBrickCon: a city scene and a moonbase and the trophies. Hopefully someone will get some closeup pics tomorrow and also post who the creators were (hint, hint, Andrew or Josh, in case you're checking up on the blogs before you go back to the fest tomorrow morning). There's also some of Andrew Lee's great microspace that I've previously blogged. Update - According to Dunechaser, Andrew Lee apparently won the prize for best micro. I'll report further details when I hear more.

A growing city
NWBrickCon, a gathering of AFOLs in Seattle, starts today. Joe Meno has already posted some pictures from setup last night, and it appears that Shannon Young is there with his city, Shannonia, which has doubled in size since I blogged it last.

Set 4891 - Highway Haulers
Set 4891, Highway Haulers, was released in 2006. It contained 209 elements and cost only US$10. As with other sets in the Creator and Designer lines, there were instructions for several models you could make using these pieces--in this case, six different vehicles--and also pictures of ten other possible creations as inspiration to the builder.
Brickshelf user zFERRY has posted pictures of all of the models with instructions and also several of the alternate models.
Set 4891 on Brickset and Lugnet. Instructions on BrickFactory. Inventory on Peeron. Buy it on Bricklink.

We gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Jerrec has come down to Earth with his latest micros, a convoy of trucks and a fire brigade. Thanks to Klocki for pointing these out.
Perspective
Barbara Werth uses microscale to create forced perspective in her Arkadi church. Thanks to Janey of the RED BRICK Road for pointing this out.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Steven Marshall is back, with a London bus and a house. The stairwell on the bus is a particularly cool detail.

Into the west
Steinreich presents an awesome micro version of the classic set 697, Stagecoach. I particularly like the design of the horses.
