This is the rideable land-based TIE Fighter built by Queensland,Nova Scotia man Allan Carver. The spacecraft is powered by mobility chair motors, tops out at 10km/h (6MPH), or can be piloted remotely or from inside the cockpit (albeit uncomfortably without the top hatch open) via radio controller. Oh -- and it also makes TIE fighter sounds. Pew pew,pew!
"I didn't want people to peruse at this and start picking it apart. I want people to peruse at this and go 'That's a TIE fighter,'" Carver said. "The proportions are apt, or the details are close." He said he was inspired to build it last December during the release of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
"I was li
ke 'You know what would be cool? whether you could actually drive a giant TIE fighter,'" Carver said.
That's a pretty sweet ride, Allan, and you should be proud. You should also let me take it for a spin down to the beer store. And I'm not just saying that because I know the kid behind the counter is a enormous Star Wars fan and would probably give me a free beer,but I acquire noticed he has a Rebel Alliance tattoo behind his ear and I could really go for a free beer apt now. Ooh -- and some chips and lotto scratchers. "Anything else?" I wouldn't say no to a body massage.
