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. :-)
The landing pads and vehicles:
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.

Nnenn goes insectile
Nnenn‘s recent spacecraft have had a decidedly “buggy” look (though others have compared these to Invid or the mobile armor mode of RX-110 Gabthley from Gundam).
Tyrian class freighter by Brenden Wilson
The multiple levels on the bridge tower give some indication of the massive size of this microscale freighter by Brenden Wilson (Flickr). The modular cargo pods work wonderfully.
Andrew Lee micros Mark Sandlin’s very 3vil Asmodeus
The Fanboy Micro contest continues! Andrew Lee goes all tiny and adorable on Mark Sandlin’s massive and formidable Asmodeus.
Here’s the original:
Be sure to check out all the photos for a very cool bit of homage to the original.
Visit lovely Gongfujian! See the sights!
Inspired by Shannon Young‘s Shannonia, mastergongfu recently posted his own micropolis. And I got to name it!
Gongfujian is the beautiful capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of the Gongo. Heh heh.
