Kamil Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 A long time ago in a galaxy actually closer than we imagine…. STAR WARS Episode IX Car Repair Shop Things were not going well in the dark side because republicans won every battle. So George stopped paying money to commander Darth Vader, he preferred to pay animators instead. As Darth Vader remained jobless, he restored his good old Tie-Fighter and became a galactic pizza distributor. One day on the work, Darth Vader heard a strange noise coming from left solar panel so he brought his starship to Kamil’s cheap car repair shop on earth. Under the threat of his sword and impatience, Kamil investigated the malfunctioning part.

RoryoCox Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Your vignette is very well built. I like the way you did the TIE and the walls. P.S Why is squidman standing there? Quote
Kamil Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 P.S Why is squidman standing there? Darth Vader never used to carry cash so squidman (Pizza cash men) will pay me Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Very nice MOC and very funny too ! That lightsaber would be handy on 'Chop Shop' or 'Overhaulin' eh ? Cute Tie fighter - interesting use of technic parts. Hope the mechanic has a hydro-spanner ! Great work and I'm a conformist! 'Kamil' I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Big Cam Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Great vig, I like the repair shop Walsh and floor, as we'll as the walls. That mini tie would fit right in with the line of production mins. Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 The TIE and the shop itself are very well done. What I'm not getting is any threat from Vader himself. Probably because Kamil is halfway across the room. Perhaps if he getting force choked, or the lightsaber blade were near his neck or something similar. It just needs a little more "action" , in my opinion. Quote
CommanderFox Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 A very nice little vig Kamil! I love the little TIE! The background story is funny! Nice job! CommanderFox Quote
Kamil Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) The TIE and the shop itself are very well done. What I'm not getting is any threat from Vader himself. Probably because Kamil is halfway across the room. Perhaps if he getting force choked, or the lightsaber blade were near his neck or something similar. It just needs a little more "action" , in my opinion. Nice idea; Let me confess that I did not tell you everything. The scene you have seen above is taken after the storm. If we do a flashback, you can see how Darth Vader convinced me to repair the Tie. So my choice was to repair it: Nice little Tie Fighter, good job. Very nice MOC and very funny too !

gotoAndLego Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I would love to see a series of small SW ships using this Tie's styling. Quote
Big Cam Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I like the last pciture where the mechanic/you, is in the ground a bit repairing the ship, just like a real garage. Quote
Kamil Posted April 4, 2010 Author Posted April 4, 2010 I like the last pciture where the mechanic/you, is in the ground a bit repairing the ship, just like a real garage. Then, everyone in the garage was relieved after the start of repair: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../SW/dwswad2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../SW/dwswad3.jpg Quote
Forresto Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 This is pretty nice. It's funny though because overall it looks like a scen from the furturama movie "Bender's Big score" with the chuannaka zombie's tie fighter. Quote
TheBrickDaddy Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I love that TIE! It's so adorable! Is your intro story an allegory for real-life Republicans and George Bush- hence the joblessness? Great MOC! Quote
Kamil Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 This is pretty nice. It's funny though because overall it looks like a scen from the furturama movie "Bender's Big score" with the chuannaka zombie's tie fighter. I havent seen "Bender's Big score" movie but I found a picture of "chuannaka zombie's tie fighter" via internet. It would be funny to see it in Lego so I tried one: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/technick.../zombietie2.jpg Kamil Quote
Kamil Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 I love that TIE! It's so adorable! Is your intro story an allegory for real-life Republicans and George Bush- hence the joblessness? Great MOC! Thank you, Of course each reader may interpret my intro story from the perspective of their own. My actual story goes within Star Wars so here George is George Lucas. After watching the seventh movie, the “Clone Wars”, I’m trying to get used to be familiar with computer graphics instead of live actors. Then I connected the story with my own life because I always try to fix broken things in the real life, especially the things broken in my childhood. Maybe a deeper issue :) Kamil Quote
Fallenangel Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Kamil the TIE is missing the stars!!! Didn't Darth Vader fly a prototype TIE x1 and not a standard TIE...? But I find the scene very humorous. I suggest not using tiles for the floor though - it looks a bit too clean for a garage. I like how 'you' are slightly below ground level during repair, but don't they usually raise the car? So that's where the squdman was hiding! Is it really all right for Vader to just leave his lightsaber on the table like that? I hope the mechanic has some alluvial dampers too! =D Quote
Raphy Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 ...Polish mechanics are the best, it's a fact! :D Quote
The Crazy One Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Very nice. Quite amusing actually. The TIE is really nice. Quote
