Here is my entry for the Micro Sci-fi Contest.

This is my representation of the central base of operations of the Mars Mission. It is complete with a hangar, science lab, watchtower, defensive center, living quarters and an Energy Crystal Silo. Not to mention a Pump-Vac Power Plant. (Sorry for blurry pics in advance)

An Overview

A view of the caves underneath being cleared for supports.

Here is a view of the Science Labs, Defense Center, and Power Plant at the center, and the Energy Crystal Silo (angular tower) on the right. Unbeknownst to the Astros, a small alien hive has begun to take root beneath the mighty fortress.

More pics of the building and pictures of the mini-vehicles (all of official sets, by the way) here on my Brickshelf (once open to public).

C&C is always welcome!

I think it's a stud too large, but anyway, those mini-bots look great, and from some angles, the buildings do too.

The MOC fits precisely within a 16x16 baseplate. No overhang.

Also I have fallen in love with mini- vehicles. I'm thinking about tackling Dino Attack as it is a vehicle heavy series.

Really neat micros, the base is excellent and the vehicles look great

Nice touch with the alien hive as well

I like all the different levels, ramps, rooms, and platforms on this model, makes it feel like a Micro Machines playset.

hehe this is a great micro rendition!

I really like how you added some height to the build with the ramp and the caverns. As 4est said, I have an urge to want to drive the buggies up and down the ramp

My only suggestion is to use some tiling the top, at micro scale, those studs are a bit distracting.

Thank you all for the kind words.

A link has been added to the first post leading to my Brickshelf. Once open you can enjoy the mini-vehicles by themselves, my favorite being the mini MT-201 Ultra Drill Walker.

Very well done. I like the foam missle launchers.
