Posted February 20, 201213 yr Hi! Last week I have tried myself for the first time to microspace. Here is the result : L'Astrolabe ( The Astrolabe ) : A freight ship from the last generation. Faster, more powerful than the old ones, it can bring anything to any place in the known universe. The Lightyear : Unlike L'astrolabe, The Lightyear is an ancient freight ship. Its weak engine only allows the transportation of small old type containers. However, it's still used by cheap delivery companies and by poor space pirates. Le Cachalot ( The Whale ) : A third class galactic fuel tanker. Hope you like it!
February 20, 201213 yr These are considerably larger than what I would perceive as 'microscale', but on the other hand, that allows them to be even more exquisitely constructed. The Lightyear is probably my favorite of the three; yellow isn't a color I'm used to seeing in spaceships, and you've got some fantastic NPU going on with the lightsaber hilt and minifigure neck brackets.

February 21, 201213 yr Very nice spaceships, lots of NPU. I like the giant containers on L'astrolabe. The Lightyear is also nice, good use of that long yellow part (not sure what it's called...) These are considerably larger than what I would perceive as 'microscale', but on the other hand, that allows them to ever more exquisitely constructed. Microscale isn't always tiny, just sub-minifig scale. The Death Star set (not the playset version) is microscale and quite large.
February 22, 201213 yr Wow. Those are fantastic. Some great piece usage all over the place. If this is your first try... I can't wait till you try this again
February 22, 201213 yr These are fantastic. You've got some great parts usage and just the right amount of color in all the right places.
February 26, 201213 yr Cool ships. It took me a second to see how you made the containers on the first one. I'm starting to like these micro scale ships. I've seen a lot of these on Brothers Brick and I like them more and more.
February 26, 201213 yr Hello! As a micro builder collegue, I can imagine it was hard to come up with these designs. Those transport ships are a pleasure to look at. Also the cargo is of clever design, I especially like the octagonal container construction for the first transport vessel. Cheers, ~ Christopher
February 26, 201213 yr Eurobricks Emperor An amazing talent you have for building microscale. The containers of the first ship are ingenious!
