Here’s a microscale battleship (aka Maritime Museum) that I was working on as a
Factory entry. It was rejected within hours of being uploaded :( but thought I’d
share it here!
The hull shaping is 1/2 plate offset SNOT with sliding tiles to shape the sheer.
Structure is nice and solid in RL, though I would have liked it if the Factory
“pallet”(te) had included a few additional useful pieces. A few things are next
to impossible to get “snapped” in factory but it went together pretty quickly
once I figured out what I was doing.
Now that the competition regs aren’t a factor, I can stretch it out for a more
scale-like appearance. Anyone for a microscale fleet?

Very nice! I built microscale ships when I was younger, haven’t had a chance to
build any recently. There is a microscale Enterprise someone built, I need to
build some cruisers and destroyers to escort it!

Matthias,
Nice work, do you know why it was rejected?? Seems a little odd to me, as 8x32
designs have been allowed in the Lego Factory contest. And... I agree, we need
more of these, I may even try my hand at one of these :) Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys,
I’m guessing that the “military” theme was the problem. I didn’t start working
on it until after the other non 16-square designs had been accepted (16x16
area... wow, if you are going to have non-lego® lawyers write your rules you
could at least make sure that they are good ones ;)) There are a few thing in
the regs that are unclear, and the lack of feedback certainly doesn’t help! (if
anyone KNOWS the answer, please let us know!)
I’ve always mostly respected the company’s stance on miltary sets... The
difference between this and Bionicle™/S-Wars/Viking raiders (look at those
hammers!)/etc etc of recent releases escapes me though!
I even made clear in the entry that this was a retired ship that had been
turned into a museum :) I mean it relies on those harbour baseplates for bart of
it’s structure! It isn’t likely to wander off to terrorise peaceful shipping
lanes...
Good fun anyways... I want to use the half-plate shaping for minifig scale
hulls. This was a good test-bed.

Now that would be a line of micro sets I’d like to be able to buy!
