Man, that Toa Lhikan Hordika guy is awesome. Especially when he (and Turakii #1 Lavasurfer, maybe?) decides to send me a LEGO set not found in the USA! Realizing I desired the micro Tantive IV (with Alderaan globe) from the last LEGO Star Wars Micro Planets series, which was not released in the states, he kindly set me up with one! Sure, he builds up his own LEGO collection bit by bit, but then making sure his friends have some cool additions to theirs as well? It's great knowing he's got me covered with the little things. I love all sorts of micro sets because it lets me show off some cool ships and vehicles without having to break the bank (and find shelf space) on the larger ones. Plus building in microscale is so fun because of all the details implied by clever uses of pieces. My current lineup of micro (and midi) Star Wars ships and vehicles: -CF (I've also got a micro Batman Tumbler I'm debating giving to my brother or keeping for myself.)

So recently I've been working on these in my spare time that isn't spent in other ways. I, so far, have made Tahu, Gali, Lewa, and Onua. I only gave detailed pictures on the first and last, because Gali and Lewa's body builds are pretty much identical to Tahu's. I'm going to finish making the Toa Mata (eventually), then move onto the Tohunga, Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok, and who knows what else. My plans are that I will build Mata Nui-esque environments, then bring them to Brickfair NE in the spring. I'll post more pictures as I make them, but for now, here are the four Toa before mentioned: (Image links to Brickshelf Gallery [when public]). If it isn't yet public, here are the direct links. Tahu pose one Tahu pose two Tahu post three Onua pose one Onua post two Group photo Aaaaand yes I know the weapon in Lewa's hand isn't an official LEGO. I got it from Brickarms at Brickfair, and just couldn't resist using it for Lewa.

The original intent was to build some gear-wheeled tank I made half a decade ago before I had access to a camera. Once I was building it did I realize how bad the design was, so I shifted to a 4-wheeled vehicle instead. Turns out it's like a smaller version of the Buggy MOC I made a few years ago. I'm quite happy with the result.I had to improvise on the wheels as I couldn't use the ones from the original Buggy MOC as they would be too big. I tried using the smaller ones from minifigs sets, but I couldn't find an axle rod long enough, so I made do with the cylinders.I also had a turret version, which kind of similar to the Turret Buggy MOC I made from this summer. The only problem is that the turret can't easily move left and right, but it can move up and down, which the regular sized Turret Buggy can't do.Gallery

*If this had been posted into the wrong forum, I apologize.So. The topic title is pretty self-explanatory. Oh, you were still expecting an explanation?We've all seen MOCs that are brilliant on a large scale (the 'shock and awe' factor), but personally I think it's the smaller ones that test the creativity of the builder.And, honestly, they're easier to build yourself if you like them enough! So what are some favorite, most creative, most ingenious MOCs that you've seen?Personally, some of my favorites include this pretty impressive piano: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/167This duo of dogfighters: http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/and this fighter fueling: http://www.flickr.co...N06/4662277137/What are some of yours?
