Was told to submit some phone-cam photos for my company's Annual magazine with the theme 'Funny Collectibles'.
I think the Ed wants to devote a few back pages to boring 'stuff' that members of the typically stoic 'staff' collect in their free time. So expect a deluge of the usual Coke bottles, keychains, shoes, stamps (god forbid!) and perhaps...erm...womans' lingerie? =))
And so poor old me had to dust off the cobwebs from my little
empire of Star Wars collectibles, which is pretty sizeable if I may add, for a few quick shots.
Decided to just give them pictures of the Bad Guys, you know Darth Vader
et al and their mean machines. Although I have lots of Rebel Alliance stuff as well like the Millenium Falcon, a X-Wing, a Y-Wing, an A-Wing, a B-Wing, a Blockade Runner, a Snowspeeder
etc.
Yes I had a deprived childhood. Don't snigger! =P
My favorite machine from the Empire Strikes Back, the AT-AT Walker (All Terrain Armored Transport). This 80cm tall replica has working lasers that fire with light and sound =))
A TIE-fighter (Twin-Ion Engine) in the foreground, the mainstay of the Imperial Fleet. In the background is Vader's special version of the TIE-fighter (partially hidden) and an Imperial TIE-Bomber.
The Imperial Shuttle (Lambda-class). This fella stands 22-inches tall and has a wingspan of 3-feet. In the Empire Strikes Back, Vader descends from his personal shuttle into a line of scarlet-draped Imperial Guards to the tune of the Imperial March. Spine-tingling =))
If this looks weird, its because it is incomplete. An Imperial Star Destroyer, made entirely of Lego bricks. When complete, the 3000-piece behemoth will measure more than a metre in length and about 70cm in width. Will get down to finishing it soon I guess =))
Next time we will do Princess Leia and her toys ok?
Did that sound right? =))
