If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!

I like it personally, and it follows the Imperial doctrine of "what if a TIE Fighter, but more?"

The Raptor feels particularly funny because it just kind of gets rid of the solar panels, which sort of seem like the important part of the TIEs?

"gently caress it, it's a tank now" for the crawler is funny. Heavy Bomber and Interdictor are both solid "gently caress it, more ordinance."

The tie punisher (interdictor in this graphic) is one of my favorite ties and x wing minis did it dirty

Why flip/bend the wings? Are the supposed to do that in-universe? Never seen them like that before.

May 16, 2007

Why not? Haha
Based off this I saw browsing variants



But that took like 20 minutes to do and still looked kinda boring. So decided to make it more unique/dumber looking. In my head it was a capital killer like the B-Wing, so went with a narrow/slender cross section like the Blade Wing. Those cannons in the wing sections are sposed to be Ion cannons…maybe I should add some trans blue to them to show that more



Or some little cross wings like the b-wing coming off the center section




Look up my posts I make a lot dumb stuff haha, something sits on my shelf long enough I’m gonna do something weird with it

Looking at the crawler, I love that some imperial engineer looked at the TIE fighter, and went "this is a good starting point for making a land vehicle"

Should've just replaced the panels with wheels and be done. Bing bong, so simple.

Oh yeah the mini whips. (And single handedly made the case for medium bases!)
But they suuuuucked to play with. I think I made one squad for one game and never flew them again. They weren't even good against those giant party-buses

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
It's a great and probably super imposing in person looking model, but the build itself feels like it would be a repetitive drag.

I build the 2F2F Nissan Skyline to match the Dom's charger.
It's not that good a set. :smith: I tend to build stuff without stickers at first and this thing looks naked as hell, and the lines of the car aren't matching the real thing at all; even taking Lego into consideration.
I'll probably keep it in case we get a Mazda RX-7, but I'm tempted to not sticker it and sell it.

I am also looking for an iconic Fast and Furious car to go with the Charger, been eyeing this Toyota Supra MOC: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-138484/barneius/toyota-supra-the-fast-and-the-furious/#details

I had found a pretty cool BT MOC from Titanfall 2 a few years ago and built it, it looked great but was so fragile and frustrating to pose so it’s in 5-10 pieces in a box now.
