All:
Well, after building some tiny NYC landmarks, I decided to make some tiny
cars to go with them.
Tiny cars:

(They're all about 2x4 studs.) I made models of some of the minifig-scale
cars I have in my city. Namely: taxicabs, a police car, a bus, an SUV, a
cargo van, a '62 VW Microbus, and a limo. All of this has tempted me to
start a whole city in microfig scale! I've built a prototype of a 4-story
"walkup" building that is 7 studs wide and 15 studs tall, and I like the way
that came out, so you'll probably see a lot more "mini" from me in the future :)
For those of you that missed the post, I also added a mini Chrysler Building
to my collection of mini NYC landmarks:

In keeping with my wacky-scale-antics of late, I've also posted some
pictures of "Scale X" lego bricks that I made. (Lego pieces 10 times their
normal size). The pieces I found to be the most interesting to model were a
control stick, a walkie-talkie, an inverted slope, and a 1x2/1x4 bracket,
among others.

Happy building.

| Hey. I had to look at the MTA bus first! * These are becoming "cartoon scale" - not really a scale at all, but a style. Still very bricky. I can't get over how the SW minis are so not bricky. -Erik (...) exactly from my home, to Target (College Pt), (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

| Sean, As much as I love your large scale stuff, in some ways I'm enjoying these small creations even more. I always like the creativity that micro scale building brings out. I like how you did the wheels. I'll have to try my hand at some micro cars. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)

| (...) <snip> The minifig might as well be King Kong to all those tiny vehicles. Outstanding, I've never given thought to doing something akin to this (I have a one-track mind, if you know what I mean) More power to ya! -Harvey (21 years ago, 7-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)
