Tiny, Massive Structures

Flickr newcomer Yo-Sub Joo unleashed a slew of pictures recently, some of them new and some dating back a bit. These micro scale builds caught my eye. They're ridiculously clean, like architectural models. Just beautiful.

LEGOLIZE IT MAN has done it again, another bitchin' little space ship. This one has a modular design, as seen in the lower images. The graphics presentation really sells the whole concept though, I love a well presented MOC. 

Douaumont Ossuary

I will resist the temptation to be snarky on this post. This is a beautiful MOC depicting a  national cemetery in France. It's so well done and so well photographed you would swear it's from the Architecture line from LEGO.

Micro Drive-in

John Stephens has been feeding us a continual diet of awesome hors devours (get it? they're small!) for weeks. I've been waiting to post because...well, I'm not sure why. I guess I was waiting to see if they were going to be presented in group, I dunno. But I can't contain myself on this one. Maybe it's my fondness for cheeseburgers, or perhaps my affinity for retro, but I totally dig this MOC. 

Silent, Floating Peril

I can just hear the roar of the engines when looking at this. The golden age of dirigibles must have been a sight to see, but something like this would have been even more amazing. And depending on who's side you were on, probably terrifying. I really dig these little biplanes.

Forced Perspective

One of the staples of visual effects and trick photography, forced perspective gives the illusion of greater distance in a small space. And combining minifigures and micro scale in the same vignette is a serious crunch in space. I love the medusa hair trees.

Myrmidon Class Missile Boat

It doesn't get much cleaner than this. Crisp photography, simple but effective lighting, expert editing, slick background and tasteful graphics. It's a sweet MOC too.  Nice work John Stephens.

"The Entire Planet Is One Big City"

This is micro scale building on another level. Look at all the detail, all the subtle angles, the variations in color and texture, this is lovely. It has an amazing sense of scale for such a small MOC. Plenty more pictures after the jump. Nice work KW Vauban.

Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time. Check out this stunning micro fleet by The Brothers Brick's own Andrew Becraft. I love the retro WWII vibe to these, and the way they are all vastly different, yet feel like they belong together. There's a chunkyness and weight to these, yet enough small detail that lends scale. And they all seem purpose built, each serving their distinct needs. A well rounded fleet indeed.

Mako Class Torpedo Cruiser

This fine ship by Flickr user halfbeak is a great example of how an excellent model doesn't have to have a huge part count or super elaborate design. It's clean, appealing and slick. Check out the use of droid legs as struts and the graduated cylinders on the engine nacelles.

GERI

No time to say much about this, my plane is about to board. It was just too cool not to share. I love a MOC that's difficult to judge scale on, it means some seriously cool building took place. It's a micro, but you wouldn't know it.

Hey!

Ok, we haven't heard from Navi in quite some time, and not at all in Twilight Princess, but I was trying to get your attention. I'm a sucker for Zelda, and this sweet little MOC caught my eye. Makes me want to build a tiny Skyloft. Nice work Faron!
