Full Scale Tie Interceptor 1:1 @ (Star Wars Celebration 5)

[mliss78]

Forget the Force ... I sense a great disturbance in my pants! :)

[Fuglsang84]

Hi there... :)

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what's it made of? Lego??

Great job though..!

Cheers!

[drakian]

If gas wasn't so high, he'd have it hovering right now

[JunsnipesS266]

Cool but can it fly lol

[ShazibElahi]

LOL Copacobana in the background...

[clipdan]

Join us! and as Father and Daughter we will rule the Galaxy!

[clipdan]

HAHA the song is cracking me up.

[javiercaselli]

Man, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, thanks for sharing!

[80s90sForever1]

AMAZING!

[TheDemonofthenite]

Star Wars fans unite! We shall build a life size Star Destroyer!

[bursegsardaukar]

@TheDemonofthenite Why just a Star Destroyer? Why not a Death Star minus the planet-destroying superlaser?

[kiddpoor]

How about a laser projector, the buttons/controls working, and x- wing vs tie fighter simulator!! This is so awesome!!

[kraphik3d]

cool

[theetommydeluxe]

I got to sit inside of this sexy beast at Lego World. Let me tell you...the cockpit is just as detailed and badass as the rest of the ship. Plus when I was in the cockpit I was in full TIE Pilot costume...nerdgasm

[Gig540]

@theetommydeluxe very cool! How was the view from inside? Was the view limited? Suppose it looked like the earlier games. Lucky!

[greyeyed123]

How the hell did Darth get in there?

Oh, I forgot. The FORCE. That's right.

[oscarhollywood]

Stupid design really... how the hell can u see left to right? No wonder they get killed so easily.

[UberWagen]

:O

[olololadin1987]

lol the music in behind !!!! ;)))

[33extremerider]

what s that song!!!! i cant tell what it is, i need to no the name of the real song. thx

[2009WOA]

@33extremerider It's Copacabana (At the Copa) by Barry Manilow

More details at en.wikipedia: Copacabana (song)

[TheSecondEvolution]

Since I doubt we will see a 1:1 scale Star Destroyer or Death Star, this will have to do, LOL

Seriously though, that's awesome!

[SchizoFilms]

@TheSecondEvolution CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

[IMSTINKYBUTHAVESWAGG]

What does your insurance run on this baby?

[ufos2012]

That song killed the whole thing..lmao!!!

[ysssuhi]

looks fake

[oliverpocherfan]

dear santa....

[MrWirelessFeet]

Now get to work on the USS Enterprise... Then I'll be impressed

[Darthbelal]

You know that modern "art" garbage they litter city plazas with? THIS would be a thousand percent more awesome.....

[GIANTPANCAKES]

blending is not the question to be asked here :O ... but will it fly?

[Psychlist1972]

@Holowachuk did you notice it wasn't actually Copa Cabana? It's a star wars parody of it. Weird Al, I think.

[Clyntell54]

@Psychlist1972 No it really was Barry Manilow just tweaking his own hit song a little.. I think right after TESB around 1980. Although I believe Weird Al did his own version of Copa Cabana too...Shades of Dr. Demento.

[pulsarfusionmedia]

Wow! Suprised that there aren't over a million views on this one. Smaller than an F-15 but far more destructive. Great work.

[twenty2082]

That Pilot needs to lay off the spce donuts

[MsKoelie]

it's amazing

[FrkJonas]

had you considered disabling the poor sound quality .. my ears bleed .. but otherwise nice movie ;)

[Gig540]

@FrkJonas No not really, I like to leave it original. Had you considered muting the video? Just as effective;-)

[FrkJonas]

@Gig540 haha it is you of course absolutely right :) I could just do that :) but as I say great movie :D

[3gencamaroguy]

now make a full size death star lol.

[spins321]

Ah, if only they built the cockpit!

[XRavenedgeX]

Yeah,the music goes really well with it.lol

[yuriilev]

I like "Remove Before Flight" flags, nice detail to have on it!

[LostFleet]

The Empire would have won the battle if they played this music from TIE Fighters, all of the Rebels would have fled :)

But congratulations to father and daughter who made this replica, it looks amazing!

[briney1973]

@Holowachuk if u listen its the star wars cantina based on copa cobana

[maladsyko]

where are chihwawa, luke and leia ?

[ChaoticTrack]

@maladsyko chihwaka? It's chewbacca, lol.

[maladsyko]

@ChaoticTrack : ok ! lol. sorry i don't speak tatouin !

[Holowachuk]

@Gig540 so you were not responsible for the convention's music? ;)

[einherje71]

Beyond cool.

[blammers]

Best to watch on mute to avoid that awful song.

[MrG4m4]

i wonder what the military would do with it

[ienjoymasturbating]

Awesome in every way.

[clawbrz]

♫ Copacabana - Rio de Janeiro \o/

[malib0osted]

In for 1:1 scale of an AT-AT

[DocterDrx]

what the fuck is up with this music



[connorhall70]

lol listen to the song at 1:30 LOL

[bcmalreadythere]

Cococabana?

[BillyJimOMFG]

thrying to spek now...

[TXs14]

Baron Fel's TIE?

[BluTrilobite]

@TXs14 Yes it is! The red stripes and kill markings give that away!

[TXs14]

@BluTrilobite freakin. epic. Props to you, sir.

[BluTrilobite]

@TXs14 Yeah, I was a huge fan of the Rogue Squadron comic book series, I'll never forget that 48 page special they did introducing Baron Fel. That was back when Star Wars wasn't ruined by you-know-who!!

[daneilgreaves]

yes but can it read

[kpongr2]

Listen to the song

[Mikemenn]

That's the problem with concept productions. They never make it to market.

[Shaterproductions]

But will it blend?

[Gig540]

@Shaterproductions only if you wish really hard

[Shaterproductions]

@Gig540 With a pinch of pixie dust and a bit of hope all your dreams will come true!

[tnhl77]

@Shaterproductions yes use blender model X-wing

[oModernWarfare3o]

Does this come with an 8track cd player?

[antguida88]

man. i live in florida and i cannot believe i missed this. i am a dumbass

[BluTrilobite]

@antguida88 Don't feel too bad, I'm in Florida and missed out on it as well. :(

[Hevyupgrade]

whats the song

[Kleavers]

@Hevyupgrade

Mark Jonathan Davis (Richard Cheese) - Star Wars Cantina

[0IIIIII]

cool

[kay7240]

yeah but does it have bluetooth?

[Gig540]

@kay7240 lol

[ManWithBeard1990]

@Gig540 Everything is better with bluetooth.

[RoninTXBR549]

Immmmmmpressssssive....

[Gig540]

@mgkpraesi How about No, I will use the exact camera. How about next time you get off your ass and and buy your own tickets and see it for yourself.

[TheRadical42]

@Gig540 Ha-hee-ho-ha! You tell 'em!

True, I'd like better quality myself but I think it's awesome that I get to see it a little bit all the same. Thanks!

-And that song is HILARIOUS! I heard it on Doctor Demento way back. : D

[fillemptytummy]

@mgkpraesi Makes me want to spew listening to this.

[MTAHawkboy]

Jack it.

[Mikanojo]

If you watch this with no sound it is really very good! If you watch this WITH sound, it seems to be sad evidence that there is apparently NO THING that can not be made just a little bit LESS cool by adding the music of Barry Manilow /"(o_0)"\

[Gig540]

@Mikanojo well I supposed the people thought it was appropriate because of the Lyrics tie in with movie. As odd as it seemed to the style I thought it was funny and enjoyed it.

[Mikanojo]

@Gig540 i did notice that.. apparently it was a Barry Manilow remake of Copacabana, with lyrics changed to 'honor' Star Wars? I am maybe too young to fully appreciate much from the 1970s.. There was Star Wars. and Alien.. but there was also disco and roller disco? It is like parody to me instead of honor. i will agree that one tribute song about Phantom Menace made by Weird Al WAS good. But Barry Manilow???

[Lando452]

I want one

[Labzo441]

I wanna go to one of these things.

[Sunburn2007]

You could probably make one that actually flew.

[possposs22]

LOL I was actually there dude! One day he was wearing a red guard costume then the next he is wearing a res striped tie pilot outfit.

[TheTitan606]

now get in it and fly!!!

[Gig540]

@TheTitan606 lol i wish!

[TheTitan606]

@Gig540 in the future hopefully

[lukedf452gr]

now all we need to do is invent the repulsorlift field :D

[oldfashionedguy91]

Can you go inside it?

[Gig540]

@oldfashionedguy91 yes, it had a ladder going up up in to it. But people were just taking pictures

[DickLodge68]

Wow that is impressive...very impressive. Great choice of craft too because I always thought the Interceptor was by far the best looking TIE fighter.

[kingpin4569]

Dear santa...haha

[hitmancoolio]

Wow that's impressive.

[Darthbelal]

I was watching a video of "modern art" that they've got infesting the front of museums and city squares, THIS beats the tar out of those sculptures. They should put this on display somewhere......

[subron6er]

yea, I would of been in shock too.  I seen a photo of this but much cooler in the video.

[desert2012warrior]

Forget my girlfriend. This thing is freaking awesome!!!!

[XDivi]

Question is....will it blend?

[Gig540]

@XDivi Hey there you are!! I was waiting for this generic post. To answer your question no, this is the ship that Killed the Blender

[Muirselgas]

hey look i can make a tie interceptor/fighter on my keyboard!

|-o-|

[wav5000kb]

i was watching subwoofers,how did i got here!?! O.o

[louie817]

I would sleep in it every night!



[michaelhviper]

How did they move it? It's so big.

[Gig540]

@michaelhviper it comes apart

[RgPOmniMedia]

I'll take a sqaudron for my personal army. where can I send the check? Do they come with a service agreement and spaceside assistance program. hehehe

[stephenpaulqueen]

I want one.

[andymartadinata]

Can it fly ?

[Gig540]

@andymartadinata lol would be nice

[scrapykoko24]

I NEED THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Excoriar]

@scrapykoko24 Star Wars Cantina by Weird Al. :)

[scrapykoko24]

@Excoriar Thanks :)

[plopper09]

hey dad lets go fishing.... no.... um well how about we go to the arcade?.... no.....hmmmm um wot about building a full scale tie interceptor?

[jaze592]

I AM YOUR FATHER

[21jakeable]

@jaze592 Nope, your my STEP father.. fail ;)

[delongds]

That is the most awesome thing iv ever seen.

[wiccanmoonman]

I want to build a full scale deathstar so I blow up earth then blow up Uranus!

[wiccanmoonman]

Red lightsaber is my choice I embrace the dark side I more powerful than any Jedi filth.

[ZHENSHUN]

What a Jaw Dropper!!! Respect !!!!

=))

[LordHannigan]

you should build a full size Star Destroyer. I'll wait but I expect it to be finished 30 years from now.

[toAdmiller]

Yeah, pretty good, but I'll bet the daughter wrapped it around a telephone pole the next day...

[lucky7s94]

so at 5 million us dollars this thing does come with bose stereo system a tom tom gps sirius sat radio heated louis vuitton seats and all the bells and whistles

[ohmygoodurmomisabitc]

amazing



[mrceebees14]

That is insane.

[1destined]

Impressive...most impressive.

[playerdepimp]

i dont understand the engine system in tie's, btw the interceptor is the best tie

[Gig540]

@playerdepimp Have to agree!

[1destined]

@playerdepimp TIE = Twin Ion Engine.

[bud467]

@playerdepimp its a Ion engine. we have our own on satilite

[Kanraizo]

@playerdepimp T.I.E: Twin Ion Engine. at the back they have a large circular thruster that gives a balanced propulsion through space or atmosphere, it is powered by solar power with panels on the wing. the thruster is moved and positioned by the control stick in the cockpit that allows the fighter to move, balance is kept by a design that makes the ship symmetrical vertically and horizontally, and momentum keeps the fighter upright.

[wiccanmoonman]

@Kanraizo That engine exist right now!

[Kanraizo]

@wiccanmoonman really? learn somethin new everyday

[windsoord]

@playerdepimp I do, they work by the magic of George Lucas' Mind :D

[DrejStinger1986]

@playerdepimp TIE stands for (T)win (I)on (E)ngine. The ship has two small ionic thrusters on the back of the central pod from which it's piloted.

[rafenwulf]

@playerdepimp Sienar Systems sales pitch: Twin Ion Engines are best compared to funnels,extracting every last bit of energy from all radiation that crosses space,converting this into a massive,steady stream of ion particles,ultimately concentrated and blasted through the two small exhaust pipes behind the pilot pod.This generates the extreme energy that produces the typical loud roar and gives the fighter its edge in speed and agility that balances out the TIE's frail construction.

[1momerat99]

very cool

[epicxel]

now make a life sized star destroyer to put it in

[PhsykoOmen]

pretty awesome!! altho they could have placed flyscreen material over the solar parts to give it that textured look,otherwise awesome.

[einherje71]

wow that's ubercool.

Thanks for sharing.

[whitebluffman]

that is fine craftsmanship there. All I have ever built is lightsabers .... I hope my daughter and I can find the time and money to build something like that one day when she gets older.

[pronto355]

The fan made 1:1 models I've seen have usually been pretty crappy ones but this one is awsome, looks like there was a lot of time and effort involved

What will they do with it though, scrap it or is a museum or somthing interested in it?

[JakeTheHippy]

Dear Santa...

[marktimmer2212]

i hear starwars music when i see this.

TA TA TA tatat taaaaaa tat taat ta tat taaa

[Aethyon]

Love the Star Wars Cantina song in the background.

[Gig540]

@Aethyon yeah first time I heard that one, everyone commented on the song. Good pick!

[Aethyon]

@Gig540 As sad as it is. I have that song on my iPod XD

[MichaelMaira1]

hey we built a tie interceptor, sick!

.....now what?

[arobloxman]

Dear Santa........

[dilithium72]

You went all the way around and I didn't spot the petrol/gas cap.  Was it Diesel or unleaded?

[thecardude]

awesome :) now where's the life size star destroyer? :P

[TzeffNL]

Impressive....very impressive!

[pdragon69]

WOW!!!!!!

[12RulAll]

copacabana? really?  doesn't really set the mood now does it?

[TheStgmp44]

@12RulAll try listerning to the words,its a Star Wars version

[richie8811]

yes, but does it blend?

[madmax2069]

@richie8811 No but you will when i take a shotgun to your head for asking that.

[richie8811]

@madmax2069 WAAA! 

[TieInterceptorPilot]

Ohhhhh! im going to take that TIE Interceptor with me and fly it to Europe, especially in switzerland and italy's air space :)

[TOMTRAPSATROUT]

now we need a full sized death star to add to the collection! ;)

[Gig540]

@TOMTRAPSATROUT lol...wonder how big it would actually be scale wise... I mean that would have to fit inside easily with few hundred others.. lol

[EasternMerchant]

@Gig540 I think it was the size of a moon, or at least that's what one of them mentioned in the movie as they approached the deathstar

[douvil]

@Gig540 The size of Pluto maybe?

[walperstyle]

@TOMTRAPSATROUT Just send a team of people to the moon to carve out a large crater, and line across the equator.

[CenyddRos]

Somebody had a lot of time on their hands.

[Gig540]

@CenyddRos what you mean somebody? I clear said this was Father and Daughter project that was done together. That pretty much sums it up. Not sure why you are confused as to who made this.... This was made just for this event and it does take time yes. Some people choose to create and take time to produce something. Sounds like you have no clue

[CenyddRos]

@Gig540 Wow. I made an innocent comment. I think this full size model is pretty cool. No need to freak out on me. Chillll.
