Unit 186, who is active on flickr, brickshelf and on a recently started lego blog called Brick Blogue, has built himself a nifty AT-RT:

Reto Geiger’s UCs-scale Tie Fighter
Regardless of you are into Star Wars or not, it is impossible to not love Reto Geiger’s UCS-scale Tie Fighter.
It’s even got some mad light-up action!
Support your Empire today!
Acclaimed brickfilmer Brendan Henry has just released a jaw-dropping new film: Triumph of the Empire, a LEGO Star Wars film in the style of WWII propaganda films. The film features amazing CGI animation of LEGO models created in Ldraw, excellent facial animation and good narration. Watch it now!
Matt De Lanoy’s Mos Eisley diorama
Matt De Lanoy, aka Pepa Quin, impress us all with a diorama he showed at a recent LEGO exhibition called Brickfest. It is just wicked. Besides having a good amount of details, it is also motorized so that a bunch of vehicles can run around on it! Here is a gallery with pictures of it, and there is also a complementary video on YouTube showing it in action. Good stuff.

X-Rayed LEGO
Have you ever wondered what an X-ray of LEGO would look like? Neither have I, which is why Brickshelfer Menoriel’s new gallery of ghostly images is so fascinating. Here’s what Obi-Wan and Darth look like under those crazy invisible rays (click for more):

FBTB R-Wing: C-22 by Mike Psiaki
I can’t say I’m tired of all the sleek fighters in what is turning out to be a really fun contest, but Mike Psiaki’s entry is just plain different:
With hardly any big sloped pieces in sight, Mike uses very few pieces found in current sets. Different is good.

FBTB R-Wing by Legohaulic
Okay, I’m on page 7 — I promise I’m almost done. Here’s Legohaulic’s entry:
Great Old Republic color scheme, cockpit, and inclusion of astromech droid. Oh, and the big gun is pretty cool.

FBTB R-Wing: RXS-7 by Dennis Coh
I didn’t mean to negate the coolness of Dennis Coh’s FBTB contest entry in my previous post by only blogging the minifig. The R-wing itself is pretty darn cool:

FBTB R-Wing by Chris Malloy
Contests seem to bring out the best in builders. Chris Malloy joins the R-wing contest:
“But it doesn’t look like an R at all,” you may say. That is where you are gravely mistaken:

FBTB R-Wing by Chris Edwards
Okay, so scanning 250 posts in the FBTB contest thread turns out to be worth it. Chris Edwards joins the dogfight with his own take on the R-wing:
What I like about this one is that it looks exactly like a typical Star Wars fighter. In fact, if a Y-wing and B-wing spent the night deep in the romantic gloom of a temple on Yavin IV, this is what might emerge a few months later.

FBTB R-Wing: Maravah by Brayton Orchard
I haven’t read through all 249 posts in the R-wing fighter contest on FBTB, but I’m certainly running across some great entries on Brickshelf. Brayton Orchard’s entry just blew me away:
The brick-built, white-on-red detailing is just stunning. Both the weaponry under the nose and what I presume are the engines are delightfully greebilicious. It doesn’t scream “Star Wars!” to me (in fact, I mistook it for a micro-ship at first), but it certainly captures the R shape wonderfully.
