Hi Bruce,
Okay, let me see if I can shed some light on this........
First of all, I agree it's a great folder of the Micros for BrickFest.

Funny you should say that, because that Train Station was built by Paul Janssen
and that *did* win best of show for Micro.
Apparently many other AFOL in attendance agreed with you. *smile*

Many modern buildings (seen in that photo and others) were Cary Clarks.
I believe the building with that helicopter was brought in by the Michon Family.

That building is a micro version of a much larger (minifig scaled?) building by
the Michons (David Michon made that micro).

And the yellow castle is by my son, (14 years old) Andy.

The moonbase, has Bram Lambrecht buildings and vehicles in the front, Lenny's
ship to the side, and the monorail (idea borrowed from Ashley Glennon) and the
two back space buildings are mine.

I have posted the winners with a small pic of each here.....
http://www.bmts.com/~bccook/micromoc.htm which ironically has a link to the
folder you started with.

Lenny Hoffmans, Ring World as I see someone else has already answered.

It sure was, and I really hope so!
