Star Wars Vehicles For The Patient Types

5 Jan 2009
If you're patient and have spare time, then why not assemble your own card models of Star Wars vehicles?

Byrne posted about these really cool paper / card based designs the other day.He was looking at the Millenium Falcon:

But there's a lot lot more ..

How about a TIE fighter?

Or the USS Enterprise?

starship UUS Enterprise




Or even the De Lorean from Back to the Future?

Each design includes the full set of cutouts that you need as well as instructions on assembly.

Very cool, though I doubt if I'd have the patience or skill to put them together properly

Ultimate Star Wars Geek Kit

5 Oct 2008
After posting a few of the Star Wars related stuff yesterday Alan pointed me at this work of art:

r2-d2 dvd projector

It's a DVD projector in the form of R2D2 and its remote control is in the form of the Millenium Falcon.

Now I would love to have one of these, but to be perfectly honest I cannot afford it. While it is a limited edition and I'm sure some people would be really jealous of anyone who owned one, it's price tag is over 2000 euro!

If you have a couple of grand to spare you can find out more about these amazing DVD players here

R2D2 USB Hub - Get Star Wars On Your Desktop

4 Oct 2008
USB hubs can be incredibly useful, but there's no reason why utility cannot combine cool design.

So how about getting a USB hub in the shape of one of Star Wars' most lovable characters R2D2?

Not only does the R2D2 USB hub pack a 4 way USB hub, but it also comes with its own set of robot like sound effects.

So not only do you get the useful USB kit hooked up easily, but you also get geek points (or something) for your desk.

I'm almost tempted to get one, though I know it wouldn't get much use except as a paperweight..

The hub measures 15cm high, so it's not that big, but still pretty cool (click to enlarge):
