Star Wars characters built with Legos

We have nanofig scale. We have minifigs. We have the larger character series…but no Miniland scale models to enjoy (no official releases, anyway). A Miniland figure is roughly the size of your average Star Wars™ action figure: 4 inches tall. This is the scale style of building LEGO^® uses in the dioramas featured in their theme parks.

Although I try as hard as I can to keep my models as small as possible, they always come out bigger than true Miniland scale. So, I’ll just call them UCS Miniland Scale. (UCS = Ultimate Collectors Series, a classification LEGO® uses for sets that are not quite in scale to normal minifigure-scale sets, but rather are more aimed at being more visually appealing and accurately detailed.

Head detail is key. And, if at all possible, I try to avoid using any painted design pieces (call me a purist, but I just like the idea of relying completely on pure brick for detail).
