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.

Death Star in a dome!
I never cease to be amused by Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard‘s creations confined to domes.
His latest is an iconic scene from A New Hope — the Millennium Falcon gets tractor-beamed into a Death Star hangar bay as our heroes try to rescue a certain princess. As always, more pics on Flickr

Mini starships from Xiphos Systems
Alex (aka Xiphos Systems) presents two gorgeous and slick microscale starships. While we’ve not seen much yet from this builder, he certainly leaves a promising impression. These fine models are reminiscent of the amazing starfighters from nnenn. Keep up the great work Alex!

Soren Roberts builds a very small city and then blows it up
Check out the brick-built laser blast in this lovely little scene from Soren Roberts. The squieu-esque mecha is certainly cool, but look closely — the laser blast is just amazing!
Keith Goldman puts Ley Ward inside a micro version of Dan Hamann’s C.S.C. for Mike Yoder’s contest
Four names in the post title. I think that’s a first.
This may be more “meta” than I can handle, but Keith Goldman has joined Mike Yoder’s Fanboy Cover Contest with a micro’d version of Dan Hamann’s “Container Shuttle Craft”, and then Keith put a vignette of Ley Ward building a nano version of the C.S.C. inside the micro version’s container.
My head hurts. (Via MicroBricks.)
Polish Air Force Sobol-class Fleet Carrier by martinbb
I was despondent last summer over martinbb‘s cruiser. His new Sobol-class fleet carrier doesn’t help me feel better about myself.
I want to spend an afternoon swooshing this around the living room going “Pew pew!”
Gizmodo interviews RogueBantha
Trying to keep up on all the amazing creations LEGO builders post all over the Web is hard work. No, seriously! With our day-to-day focus on individual creations, it’s nice to take a step back and learn a little more about the people behind some of our favorite creations.
To that end, Gizmodo contributor Jesus Diaz interviews microscale builder Tim Goddard, who we all know as “RogueBantha.” It’s great to see something smaller than a six-foot spaceship get real respect outside the specialized world of the online LEGO fan community.
Check it out on Gizmodo.
RogueBantha’s micro fanboy mathematics
Remember Adrian Florea’s beautiful Natai Ugly? It was a combination of the Naboo starfighter and TIE/d for the FBTB Uglies contest.
RogueBantha combines micro versions of both source vehicles to create a fanboy cover version of Adrian’s Natai:
Genius! If you haven’t checked them out before, don’t miss the rest of RogueBantha’s amazing microscale creations on Flickr.

Mike Yoder is his own fanboy
Mike Yoder has been working on a rather impressive cargo SHIP, but he took a break to build a microscale version of his own creation. Mike’s also running the Fanboy Cover Contest, in which builders create microscale versions of another builder’s much larger creation (my favorite so far, the oMICROn Weekend, one post below).
Does that make Mike his own fanboy? Heh heh… :-D
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. :-)

If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s vampires in space
Thankfully, Jerac has a fleet of very tiny ships, led by the cruiser Van Helsing, to hunt them down and stake their ice-cold hearts.
