Pimp My Naboo Ride

Post by Bounty »

Today, I grabbed the Night Blazer car

Image

and the Naboo Flash Speeder

Image

and turned them into something that, I hope, would make Jeremy Clarkson proud: quite possibly the very first armed Naboo hotrod.

Image

A two-seat, four-wheel monstrosity. Note the lack of seatbelts or rollbars, for that extra dash of excitement. The black tube portruding from underneath the passenger seat is the exhaust.

Image

Rear view, showing the 360° swivelling, auto-tracking blaster. Of course, this being a wheeled vehicle without any meaningful suspension, don't expect to hit anything.

Image

A big air scoop up front, of course. The fins are, in fact, Gungan-guards, designed to slice up any Gungan unfortunate enough to survive the initial impact. Or something. Maybe they're aerodynamic.

Image

The very last thing the aforementioned Gungan will see.

And it actually moves under it's own power, too: it's built around the Blazer's pull-back engine. Which I had in reverse at first. 'Twas a silly sight.

The reason I dug up the LEGO for my amusement is this beauty I picked up yesterday:

ETA: and there's nothing wrong with an adult who likes LEGO.

It's... it's the Star Trek: Insurrection Argo car!
:P :wink:
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Actually it looks like this thing can fire forwards, which the Argo by all appearances, can't.

Hah, I hadn't even noticed it looked like the Argo. My first idea was actually to use the Snowpeeder and turn it into an armoured car. I might still do that, once I've put the speeder back together.

And the gun can fire forward...straight into the ground :P
