Nick Drummond’s AT-ATs: not just for xmas is making the internet rounds. Cute, no?
Screw cassettes… I want me an AT-AT iPod dock
The AT-AT boombox is okay… But the AT-AT iPod dock is far more relevant to the interests of today’s fast-paced digital youth.
And where is the Millennium Falcon record player? Slave 1 CD player? Come to think of it, wouldn’t an AT-ST be a more appropriate for an iPod? Get cracking, people!
Eye Candy: Vader gets in on the auto action…
Remember last week’s drive-by Stormtrooper? Well, the folks at Kinod Photography got Vader in on the action as well. There’s even a wallpaper version.
The Old Republic Y-Wing ala Lego!
Xadrian’s done it again – here’s his Lego interpretation of the Old Republic Y-Wing from The Clone Wars.
It’s always Star Wars time with a spaceship clock
I really like this Star Wars clock – it’s ultra geeky but also totally low-key – if this was an official product it would be black and the logo would be 500% bigger and I would wince every time I looked at it. Alas, it’s been blogged all over so YOUgNeek is probably swamped with orders. (And the logo is even optional! Swoon.) Be sure to check out the rest of her store, there’s some pretty neat stuff in there.
TOTJ’s Nebulon Ranger in LEGO
Frequent commentor Xadrian sent me the link to pictures of his Lego Nebulon Ranger, a ship from Takes of the Jedi. I had to look it up myself, but I gotta say the Lego build is pretty impressive! See all his pics for a closer look – I couldn’t resist the wee Ulic Qel-Droma.
Fan art: HERD (rat-ATAT-touille) by Adriean Koleric
Designer Adriean Koleric is repainting and modifying vintage AT-ATs for his upcoming show HERD : rat-ATAT-touille. In his own words:
The idea behind the HERD series is to put focus on items of Western Pop culture that has and still influences me in the Design field as well as the new Artistic direction for ITEM. I wanted to show that these type of items, though mass produced and marketed, were infact what I considered art growing up as opposed to disposal product.
There’s plenty of other Star Wars-themed work at his blog, ITEM. Poke around! (via)
Halloween flashback: Into the LFL archives
StarWars.com has an extensive slideshow of costume product images scanned in – hilariously – from old-school photo albums. Never had any of these myself, but remember the style well enough to can almost smell the plastic from those horrible masks… shudder.
For costumes that will actually wow folks in the here and now, check out this homemade AT-ST suit. There’s plenty of time to make your own for next year!
A TIE Fighter with Starbucks DNA
No, this has nothing to do with Battlestar Galactica, it’s a TIE Fighter made by Wired’s Dan Winters out of nonperishable stuff easily found at a local Starbucks coffee shop:
He used nearly 50 ‘Bucks cups and a crazy number of stirrers to build this, the coolest TIE Fighter ever. “The ribbing on the drink holders reminded me of solar panels,” Winters says. “That instantly registered ‘TIE fighter’ in my head.”
(See a bigger picture at the link.) Wired is running a contest, and I bet there’s a lot more Star Wars stuff to be made from cups and stirrers. Get to it! (via)
