I'm glad you saw them and posted yours, Jeff -- now, when I get around to
building classic microscale town sets, I won't have to think about how to make
town microminifigs. ;) My astronauts were similar to your bottom left
approach: I needed studs front and back for the 'planetary swoosh' and the
backpack, but I went with 'joysticks' for helmets. I might try to use the
middle model for town microminifigs but use 'headlight' bricks for legs: it
looks like the microminifig has feet, plus you can make the microminifig "sit"
by removing the 'legs' and rotating the 'headlight' brick 90 degrees up. If
that's hard to picture, stay tuned for when I post my mini-452 Mobile Tracking
Station: at least one of the photos I will take will show the driver seated.
(NOT like I did the red astronaut -- I didn't have a red 'headlight' handy.) I
also might try to use yellow 'joysticks' without the sticks for the heads...
I think the "ultra-minimal" microfig is probably something like a cylinder, a
jumper tile, and a yellow 1x1 round 'dot.' No, excuse me, who needs the jumper
tile? ;)
All the stuff you posted was great... I enjoyed the test tubes and the
microship studies especially.
