That's cool! I gotta admit, it looks a lot like my 5571 unless you try to
focus on little details...

Great job! I think I'm inspired to building some micro-scale stuff now... :-)

Thanks! I've enjoyed your microscale stuff too, since it allows
the mere mortals among us with (relatively) limited brick supplies
to make interesting models.

I guess the next thing to do is render these little trucks I'm
building with mlCad and make some scenes like Fredrik does...

The other neat thing about microscale trucks is that you can build
realistic buldings for them. Of course, with those giant minifigs
it looks like land of the giants.

Ohhh - I just got a crazy thought. What about a diorama of a minifig
looking at a microscale truck next to a Technic fig looking at
a LegoLand sixby truck next to a kid looking at a model team bigrig....

Its like a self referential Escher drawing....

Cheers,
