Micro MOC Off!
We are hoping that everyone that attends BrickFest can bring along a
Micro for the Micro MOC Off, A Community Project Display at BrickFest
2004 in Washington DC.

Will be working on this as soon as 1000Steine Land 2004 is over. I first
planned to bring my ISCC3 brewery with me, but due to size and transport
issues I’ll be making a microfig copy of it, which should fit in my bags.
But what I’d like to know : with minifig scale it’s established that it’s
around 1:40 scale. Anybody have a clue what microfig should be? Not that
I’m doing the 1/100mm thing but somewhat accurate would be nice.

Sounds Great!
Well math is not one of my stronger suits so if anyone else wants to weigh in on
this question, please go for it.
As far as I know, “Micro-Scale” building has kind of covered various scales. For
BrickFest we are trying to get everyone to build in a similar scale so each
Micro MOC works in the overall layout.
Since in “our” Micro Scaled Community Display, a Minifig is the size of a mere
1x1 round brick, that would make it somewhere close to being one fourth of true
Minifig scale. Truth be known most of my own micro MOCs are bit shy of that
figure. Having said that, we don’t want anyone worrying too much about scale,
the idea is just to have fun and enjoy the community display as well as the
Micro MOC Off Contest.
MOCs will *NOT* be disqualified because they are not totally in scale. That
is one of the challenges with Micro Scale building, it is a fine balance between
design, detail and selective altering with a bit of artistic license thrown in.
When you have figured out how much space the foot print of your brewery will
take, please let me know so I can add your MOC to the overall layout. Looking
forward to seeing what you come up with. If you have any other questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

| (...) Thanks for the fast reply. I'll try to work out some scale that'll suit the bricks I intend to use best. Given the limitations of the method of transport (a suitcase) write me down for one baseplate 32*32. Color will be lightgrey. (20 years ago, 26-Jun-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
