Tim Goddard sends in the clones
Tim Goddard adds a new microscale LEGO Star Wars diorama to his Mustaneer set with this great scene from the Clone Wars:
The brick-built smoke effects are great — especially where the laser beams rake across the ground. Tim’s microscale vehicles always good, but I love the red-white-and-blue Republic Gunship.

Tim’s latest is a modular Imperial base called Mustaneer (not to be confused with the far more distant Mustafar):
