Chiukeung from Hong Kong minimizes the latest Green Grocer LEGO set. The model uses over 450 lego pieces and took two weeks to design and build. It looks very nice, and check out the mini renditions of Cafe Corner and Market Street below:

René Magritte’s Time Transfixed, LEGO’d by Uli Meyer
You’ve probably seen the paintings of surrealist artist René Magritte, even if you didn’t realize what you were puzzling over was by him. Uli Meyer has created a wonderful LEGO version of Magritte’s “Time Transfixed,” complete with a microscale train that’s great in its own right.
(Thanks for the tip, Tim David!)

Matt Armstrong micros Rocko’s steampunk TIE fighter
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.
