While we’re at it, Sir Nadroj’s “whistle-punk” lumber mill also deserves a highlight:

Rocko’s steampunk TIE fighter has inspired Matt Armstrong to make his own micro version:
Okay, so the colors aren’t exactly the same, but the one-piece steam makes up for it.

LAML Radio #23 asks the question “Why do we love the minifig?”
