Tim G (Roguebantha) has been working lately on a microscale Star Wars battle of epic proportions. It’s all come down to this action-packed diorama featuring some of the best LEGO Star Wars mini models around. Click on the pictures below for the Flickr gallery, or you can check out the Brickshelf gallery here.
Check out the smoke effect on this crashing X-wing, which is cleverly supported by the laser beam from the turret.
The new LEGO Pirates fan community at ForbiddenCove.com is certainly inspiring some wonderful pirate-themed LEGO creations lately!
One of my favorites so far is “Castaway t’ Neverland” by SlyOwl:
Brick-built creatures populating the desert island include a gull, hummingbird, crabs, and monkey. Note the horns for breakers and the microscale ship in the background, as if off in the distance. Brilliant!
David Pagano, Nate Burr and myself were all recently asked by the LEGO Company to make a brickfilm to celebrate the LEGO minifigure’s 30th birthday. This is my contribution, 30 Years: The Story of the Minifigure. How many historical figures/events can you name?

Yup, that’s me. My latest distraction is this little beauty from Vdude, with cargo modules in a variety of colors:

Recent Flickr inductee H.G. Manifold‘s first microscale space ship has lovely stripes. The offset bridge also contrasts nicely with the rest of the ship:

I love the microscale Jabba’s sail barge in this diorama by Tim Goddard, with dark gray “cheese slopes” that evoke the doors that open on the side of Khetanna. What sets this piece apart for me, however, is the Sarlacc sliced down the middle:
Via MicroBricks, though I lay claim to the provenance of the phrase “Cross-section Sarlacc FTW!” :D

Andrew Lee takes his inspiration from an old BattleTech novel’s cover for his latest mecha. I love Andrew’s use of the LEGO Agents stickers:
Since we’re rifling through Andrew’s photos looking for stuff to blog, here’s a bonus microspace warship, Yen-lo-wang — one “bad mother”:
Inspired by the 1995 game Wipeout, Havoc‘s futuristic racing scene both excellent buildings with custom billboards and a set of six great racers:

Catsy from Classic Space creates a microscale starship designed to be “a self-sustaining city in the stars,” complete with the remarkable use of the Bionicle half dome piece as a biodome on this ship. Stay tuned to Catsy’s gallery for more edited photos of this increadible and detailed creation.
Here is a hi-resolution image of the upcoming Nov/Dec set for LEGO BrickMaster subscribers. This image was sent by Steve Witt from LEGO to Ace at FBTB. Enjoy this non-leaked photo! You can chime in or read the discussion on FBTB here.

Of course, nnenn is also up to his usual tricks — two excellent fighters in red and green:
