Microscale moonshot is a stellar creation
RebelLUG member Marc Linares (Syrdarian) is one of the hardest-working builders around, participating in competitions and collaborations that push outside of their comfort zone and learning from peers to broaden their toolbox of techniques. Marc’s latest is a microscale scene of extra-solar exploration on the planet Gothea, where miners work in domed settlements under an icy moon. The banded horizon evokes the iconic Tales of the Space Age ideas set, while the rockets and domes follow the colors of City Space. What impresses most about the build is the texture and depth. The icy moon features so many clever textural bits across its blue gradient.
The planetary vista is made from a mix of studs up and SNOT planes, some a brick tick, others just a tile, creating so many layers in a compact space. And around the colony, incredible details come into focus, like a hill made from a minifig turkey.
If you’re a fan of Marc’s microscale work, you have a chance to vote on turning another model into a Bricklink Designer Program set as part of Series 10. Village in the Sky even adds kinetic functions, designed in collaboration with BLDP alum Leewan. Voting is open until February 20.
