| Hi all, Microscale is fun to do, but hard to make recognizable, with enough detail. This is my attempt of a microscale truck: (URL) Once updated you can see more pics (URL) here>. Cheers, Nate (18 years ago, 21-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.announce, FTX) !

|
| Hello dear fellows! Some of you may have noticed that I built some Galactica stuff recently. All from the classic series, as I like that one better. However, one cannot deny the popularity of the new TV series which started in 2003. Hence, I decided (...)

| Very impressive! And the model captures the city very well (which is of course very subjective). Luckily I have read the books before I saw the films and your version hits my idea of Minas Tirith much more. Andreas (18 years ago, 13-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | Microscale Minas Tirith
|
| Hi all, Here is a microscale project I've been working on for a while. Is something truly microscale if it covers six baseplates and is 40 bricks high? Anyway, here is my rendition of (URL) Tirth> (URL) I tried to make an effort to match this to my (...)

| | | | | Chinese pagoda
|
| I constructed this microscale Chinese pagoda as a centerpiece for a dinner party (for 25!) that we hosted two weeks ago. It isn't accurate to any specific pagoda, but is broadly based on some of the techniques and styles I observed in some source (...)

| (...) I'll link a picture from GMLTC member Bill-2 (that's one of his firetrucks!): (URL) Something like this allows people to get their noses right up next to a model, but still prevents them from picking them up. Maybe Lego still has these (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Displays at Fests
|
| (...) This is a great question. I think a retail display case or a museum case would probably work best. It is an expensive solution for a LUG, but perhaps the venue has some available, or you can pick one up at a store that is going out of (...)

|
| (...) Ted, These are interesting questions to me as we are working to finalize arrangements for Brickworld. Personally, I make robots and they are "hands-on" items, so I don't want stanchions around my stuff at all. But, as you noted, the event (...)

| | | | | Displays at Fests
|
| While at BrickFestPDX 2007 last weekend it occurred to me that there was a problem with displaying microscale MOCs and vignettes. The public were being kept behind stanchions at arms-length from the tables on which the MOCs were displayed. I moved (...) (18 years ago, 4-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.vignette)

| (...) Thanks! I hadn't thought about putting plates/tiles on the wheels, but I had thought about grey light sabre blades. After I read your post I tried putting a plate and then a tile on the wheels, and as you said, it's just too big for the scale. (...)

| (...) Oh that little engine on the flatcar is just so cute! Small question tho, did you consider putting any 1x6 lt. grey plates on the drive wheels of the mini-model to better match the large engine's rods? Or did it seem they would be too big in (...)

Incidentally, I noticed that the windscreen shown in Peeron's (URL) 4939 inventory> is not exactly the same as the (URL) window>, which has 1 x 1 connectors in its front corners instead of 1 x 3 connectors.
