Also add to that a great rendition of Space Cruiser 487 by Fred Herrman here:

Brian, these are outstanding. I have both of those sets and I immediately
recgnized them when I saw the page on Brickshelf. I especially like the
Alpha-1 as that was always one of my favorite sets. Your micro spacemen are
outstanding as well. I do see what you mean about the X-1, but I don't think
there is much you can do about it.
I'd love to see more like this. Maybe this weekend I'll go though my old sets
and see if there's anything I can reproduce in microscale.

Thanks for pointing this out, Bruce! I actually thought it was a Galaxy
Explorer. Both of those sets, though, are begging to be modeled at this scale.

Well, if the X-1 was immediately recognizable, then I guess I don't mind
that it's a little chunky. :)

By all means, please do.
Truth be told, I wouldn't mind if Lego released a series of 'Legends' at
microscale -- and that goes for Legoland Town and Castle as well as Space!

That reminds me, there was a miniaturized version of Town set 1592 by Cubo
during the run of 1592 variations last year:

And another at an even smaller scale by Ulimy:
