This guy is great. I love how he takes simple Star Wars legos and uses wonderful composition to tell a story.

Very cool photos. I wonder if it is all "in camera" or if some is from photo editing. For example, in the shot with the two suns (or moons?), were there light sources that allowed the capture in camera or were they added later in post processing?

He is fantastic. If only all shoots could be completely controlled from beginning to end and top to bottom. Being able to sub baking powder for snow is awesome, too.

Several threads and discussions off his Flickr site.
Shoots them with a Canon 400D (aka XTi), primarily shoots them in a fishtank so he can build composition and make stuff float. Light sources are lamps, penlights, flashlights, etc. a few things done in post (laser effects).
Pretty impressive for the kid's imagination, attention to detail, composition, lighting, shadows, etc.

I would be there is some post, but most of it seems straight up.

Awesome. Thanks for posting this. I have a ton of old Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joes from when I was a kid and was thinking of doing a shoot like this. Brilliant use of fish tank.
