In A Tiny Galaxy Far, Far Away – Microscale Lego Star Wars

In A Tiny Galaxy Far, Far Away - Microscale Lego Star Wars, Episode IV - A New Hope

These microscale Lego Star Wars models are the work of Rod Gillies. You cannot get much smaller than this. Each tiny model features a vehicle or two in its iconic setting. Most of these vignettes have been built off of a 4×6 grid, with a few exceptions going up to 6×6 studs. Microscale is an interesting challenge, you need to include just enough detail to get an impression while building as small as possible. These three sets are each based off of the original trilogy. The sets from A New Hope feature the Sandcrawler, Millennium Falcon, and a X-Wing and Tie Fighter. The little radar dish on the Falcon and the tiny s-foils on the X-Wing are especially well done. The sets from The Empire Strikes Back feature an AT-AT Walker, Luke’s X-Wing and Yoda’s Hut, and the Cloud City of Bespin. The X-Wing being sunken into the swamp is a great effect, as are the sunset stained clouds on Bespin. Finally, the three sets from Return of the Jedi feature Jabba’s Sail Barge, the Imperial Shuttle, and another Millennium Falcon. The tiny Sarlacc pit, and the pipes from the Death Star are a couple of the stand out details.

The Nightmare Before Christmas – A Lego Diorama

The Nightmare Before Christmas - A Lego Diorama

There are many great ways to display Lego Minifigures. One of the most creative is the vignette or diorama style display. A small scene featuring a few Minifigures, with a background or a few props. This “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Lego MOC is the creation of gonkius. The scene features the Jack Skellington and Sally Minifigs from the Lego Minifigures Disney Series 2 packs. A giant yellow moon is set against a dark blue background. With the iconic spiral hillside, and a few pumpkins to finish the setting. This is a great SNOT style build that really shows off the Minifigs. The contrast between dark and light really makes things stand out. This diorama is a great display to have out whether or not it is Halloween, Christmas, or any Holiday.

Trying To Find WiFi – A Parasite Lego Vignette

Trying To Find WiFi - A Parasite Lego Vignette

Trying to find a free Wifi signal can take you to some weird places. Even willingly sitting for hours in a small bathroom. This little Lego MOC is based on the recent film titled Parasite, and is the creation of dewback1. The weird split-level tiled bathroom is one of the films memorable locations. The lego 1×1 flat plates are perfectly misaligned. It is quickly recognizable as a basement. Thanks to the small narrow window, and the spider infestation. One of the best details though, is the sock on the ground. A great use of a Harry Potter piece!

Cute Mini Vignettes For Lego Minifigures Series 19

Cute Mini Vignettes For Lego Minifigures Series 19

The Lego Minifigures Series are fun to collect. They always look great too, especially when displayed in a group. One of the best ways to show off your collection is to build little mini MOCs or vignettes. These Lego Minifigures Series 19 vignettes are super cute. Created by zaru_soba, they show off all the different figures and create a mini story. The personality of each minifig matches up perfectly with their scene. The video gamer battlestation, the bathtub wave surfer, the dog sitter, and the retro gardener are some favorites. What is great is that these type of MOCs take relatively few pieces to build.

FOTC MOC: Flight of the Conchords Lego Stuff

Grebe Lego Flight Of The Conchords FOTC

The Flight of the Conchords are a humorous folk band from New Zealand. They are most well known for their great HBO television show. It has been years since the show ended and the band has recently reunited for a tour. So it is no surprise to see a new Lego FOTC MOC.

Grebe Lego Flight Of The Conchords Bedroom Grebe Lego Flight Of The Conchords Office

There are a total of four vignettes in the series. The iconic bedroom, a tiny kitchen, a stage, and Murray’s office. Each one of these scenes is instantly recognizable and is great for displaying the Minifigures. Of which, we have four. There are the main characters Jemaine and Bret, the band manager Murray, and the crazy fan Mel. These are spot on, and no one is going to get these Minifigs mixed up.

Let It Snow With This Microscale Winter Vignette

Hornet Razvan's Lego Microscale Winter Vignette 01

Winter is here, which means peaceful white landscapes, bitter cold, and a lot of hard work shoveling. Hornet Razvan has created a charming Lego Microscale Winter Vignette. An iconic red building is the center piece, but the giant clouds and snow Lego built background is what makes this stand out. There are even some extremely tiny cars trying to drive, and two little snowplows keeping the roads safe.

Hornet Razvan created this Lego MOC for the Winter 2015 Brickenburg contest, and won 1st place. Check it out over here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/razvy_cluj_ro/23414471601/

These Learning Lego Bookends Hold Knowledge

Deborah Higdon's Lego Bookends

You can put your Lego creations to good use by making them into bookends. Check out these Lego bookends by Deborah Higdon. The theme is “learning,” which is very appropriate. Each side features a vignette of learning. The left bookend is an old time schoolroom, complete with wood burning oven. The map hanging over the desks uses some rubber bands to help give a more realistic appearance, mimicking the coast lines. There is also a brick built mosaic of a mountains landscape, and the desks even recreate that old iron detailing. On the other side of the books, is the right bookend. This scene is of a dorm room. A completely different habitat compared to the schoolroom. Here many life lessons can be learned. The room features an unmade messy bed, a dead desk plant, a laptop, and many many expensive textbooks.

Stranded With The Lego Green Arrow

Nexus Lego Green Arrow Stranded

Flickr user [Nexus] has recently revealed their newest project. This vignette is titled Stranded and features a Lego Green Arrow lost on an island. A very plentiful island by the looks of it. Fish, birds, frogs, bananas, and mushrooms. Green Arrow is not going to starve here. The whole beach scene is finished with a great base/border. By building a base the whole scene feels complete. No detail unfinished. This type of treatment is always awesome on smaller MOCs.

Spend the Year of the Sheep with a Lego Shaun the Sheep

ArzLan's Lego Shaun The Sheep

Spend the year of the Sheep with everybody’s favorite Shaun the Sheep. Shaun stars in his own animated TV Show, which in turn is a spin off of  Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave. This cute Lego vignette shows the titular sheep hanging out with a much more angry looking sheep. Maybe it needs to be shorn? Which, in Lego would mean removing a couple of plates? No matter, these two sheep are excellent builds.

“Shaun the Sheep in the year of Sheep” is the creation of ArzLan and can be found on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/32161137@N08/16034677968/

Paradise Lost in this Lego Wonder Woman vs. Ares Vignette

Tim Lydy's Lego Wonder Woman vs Ares

A lot of the DC Comics superheroes have had a lot of attention lately. Especially Batman and Superman. But there are many more that seem not make the jump from comic book to film. Wonder Woman is one of those superheroes. She will finally get her own film in a few years, but until then fans will have to create their own stories. This Lego Wonder Woman vs. Ares vignette is the creation of Tim Lydy. This MOC started out as an adaption of an episode of Justice League titled “Paradise Lost.” Which lead the builder to replace Hades, with Ares (a more famous Wonder Woman villain). Ares is sporting the new helmet from the Hobbit theme.

“The god of war, Ares, has kidnapped the Amazonian Queen Hippolyta—and it’s up to the queen’s own daughter Diana; otherwise known as Wonder Woman; to save her and all of Themyscira from the mighty god’s wrath!”
