Micro Omicron Weekend and the founding of ChiefLUG
A band of builders (Andrew Lee, Gary McIntire, and Scotty Whitesell) headed by Ryan Wood created the ultimate Fanboy display. It’s a microscale version of KeithLUG’s legendary Omicron Weekend. Together, this group of brave men have made history; from now on they will be known as members of ChiefLUG. Congratulations!
EDIT (AB): I just think this deserves a couple bigger pictures. :-)

I saw this at the top of the page this afternoon and thought, “Why is Nannan highlighting a four-month-old creation?” And then I read the title and nearly fell out of my chair. Un-freakin’-believable. Great work, guys!

I also thought this was a piece about the original with more detail. I quick clicked though 3 or 4 pics before I realized what was going on. Amazing work. Just fantastic.

I’ve never really had a strong interest in microscale, but this is incredible – it has me inspired. Projects like this will create new mico scale followers!

I saw the thumbnails on flickr and thought it was just more shots of the minifig scale model. This is cool!

[...] ChiefLUG will be extending initiation to anybody who builds a LEGO Viper from Battlestar Galactica. Here’s what ChiefLUG founding member Ryan “Chief” Wood has to say: ChiefLUG is a superrad group of Lego fans dedicated to veggie platters, crazy group builds, being awesome, and pretending to be half as cool as KeithLUG. You might be familiar with our work. [...]
