Who is MOCing in a small scale other than Micro?

[Eilif]

I've been away a while, and have had very little time to build in the past 3 years. However, my 3 y.o. son's interest in Thomas "motorized railway" trains (I recently bought a bunch of Tomica Thomas stuff at resale) has got me planning to MOC some buildings for him. Digging through my collection I found a bag of the old doors and windows from 60-70's era sets that were scaled somewhere between HO scale and that of Matchbox/Hotwheels toys, so I'll probably use them as a starting point.

That got me thinking about MOC'ing in other scales. Is anyone else out there MOC'ing in small model or toy scales other than Microscale? I'd love to see examples especially anything near to scale of HO or matchbox cars.

Eilif, I have been MOC'ing for 30 years in the classic LEGO scale (1:87 scale, 1 door = 3 bricks high).

Here's a build of the 310 Esso Service Station (mine is from parts, but the set was produced from 1956-65)....

Using one of the old 1960s cardboard bi-fold Town Plan boards is an awesome way to build in the classic scale... as this early 1960s town shows...

Here's my take on a Town Plan layout... but more bult up!

The trees, bushes and road signs aren't too expensive... but the very collectible 1:87 scale cars and trucks can get very pricey! But most sizes (except for the 1x1x1, 1x2x1 and 1x1x2) of the classic windows and the classic doors are downright cheap!

That's what I'm talking about!

I'm not too worried about pricey vintage parts (though maybe I should BL some windows...) in general as I've got plenty of parts and matchbox cars of vintage vehicles, but you're general aesthetic is definitely what I have in mind. It would look great alongside the crisp, but playful look of Tomy/Tomica/Thomas trains and accessories.
