Microscale Blimp

I've been building lots of microscale things I found on Pinterest. I'll be sharing them all with you. First, I'll show you how to build the blimp. It only uses nine pieces! Also, it's an example of the SNOT building technique (Studs Not On Top) It's built sideways.
 Microscale Blimp
  • 2x2 dome
  • 1x1 round plate
  • 2 faucets
  • 2x2 round plate
  • Technic half pin
  • 1x1 brick with 4 side studs
  • Mini rocket booster
  • R2-D2 body (It might have a real name, but it's the piece used as a body for LEGO R2-D2, so that's what I'm calling it.)
 First, attach the round plate to the R2 body, and the dome to the plate.
 Stick the Technic half pin in one of the holes. Attach the mini rocket booster to the other side of the R2 body.
 Now stick one of the side studs on the brick with side studs into the other hole on the R2 body. Then, put a 1x1 round plate on the top of the brick.
  Now stick the faucets in the brick with side studs.
 And you are finished!
Stay tuned for more awesome microscale creations!
What is microscale, you might ask? It's when you build something with as much detail as you can add in the smallest amount of pieces. Most of the creations I'll be showing you use less than 15 pieces!
