MOC Darth Vader's Podracer Advanced

[Bored Robot]

Greetings everyone, Here's my first MOC--modeled after Vader's Tie Advanced fighter.

Hopefully my building and photography skills will improve!

Nice.

Nice.

What do you think of it being "nice"?

I think it looks good because I how you used miniatured size TIE Fighter wings as the

wings here. Also, the stabalisers and engines looks good also.

Great imagination for making a Podracer Advaned

[Darth Legolas]

I love it, because even though it's a podracer it still perfectly resembles the TIE advanced! Very good job!

[Bored Robot]

Thanks for the feedback and compliments. I made a lot of changes but I was sure I wanted Tie wings to be a main feature of the engines. I'm glad they don't have to be perfectly symmetrical to make sense.

WOW! That is an exalent example of turning the pod from Racer revenge to LEGO form! Have you played that game because there is a pod-racer just like the one you built on there and it's piloted by Darth Vader himself.

[Bored Robot]

Really?! And here I was all happy that I hadn't seen this idea anywhere before.

I haven't played that game. I've only played the original Ep. 1 racer on N64.

Oh well, ignorance is bliss as they say.

A very fine and pretty cool work indeed. Take a ride on the dark side of the Force on!

Racer Revenge is the first thing I thought of when seeing this. The game is a very good source for seeing picture of the podracers, if you wanted to build original ones from the Boonta Eve Classic.

i like the tie wings and the cockpit circle radar dish thing

[VBBN]

An innovative and neat design, great work.

Oh sorry to ruin your fun! Even though the idea isn't original you make up for it with the awesome creation!

a great pod 4 Vader! Darth Vader would be proud!!

[LEGOscum]

That's a very interesting concept, and somewhat parallel to the animated maquettes and such that other SW licensees do. If the LEGO license gets extended I could see LFL approving a similar line of sets (god forbid) as the amount of SW material dries up.

Great Pod.

It really has that Vader's TIE Advanced look and touch.

I am sure the Dark Lord would be more than happy to use this as his personal vehicle
