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

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.

There you will find a 483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base (a.k.a. 920 Launch Pad) as
well as a 6861 X-1 Patrol Craft.

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.

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

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.

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!
