This may have been posted before (but I didn't find it).

Star Wars spaceship cars, the H-wing is incredible.

I drive the same honda model as the H-wing and there is no way I am going to customise to that but then it does look good.
I love my car the way it is...~~~

 

[Maj.Striker]

Hmm, someone took their POS cars, slapped some paint and threw a Star Wars label or two on them. Nice...

 

[Dyret]

I agree with Striker... I'ts not that amazing at all.

Uh oh, I have bad premonitions about a DC 2006 Wing Commander Float for the parade. Especially if somebofy wants to do it in the Stormtrooper Transport style.

 

[Ridgerunner]

The X-Wing truck is good. The "Darkside Ride" looks pretty good, the rest are crap.

 

[t.c.cgi]

The only thing I thought was remotely interesting was the Tantive trailer model. The rest sucked.

 

[Maj.Striker]

I guess my expectations were too high when I saw the link...I was expecting the cars to actually look somewhat like what they were supposedly named. Not very impressed, to say the least.

Warning: Art Cars

Well, if you don't like art cars you probably won' like the H-wing or other Road Squadron vehicles. If so read no further.

There's a lot more to this than paint and a label or two. I think that's like saying that the impressive CIC Prophecy flightsuits are just coveralls with some nylon webbing added.

Here's a Wired article from April 2004 on the H-wing

Here's the H-wing homepage by "Obi-Shawn"

Here's "Obi-Shawn's" answer on his FAQ to "Why H-Wing? What ship is it supposed to be?"

I've modeled my design on the A-Wing from "Return of the Jedi". I didn't add the rear vertical stabilizers because they are illegal, and added an R2 unit instead, so I've dubbed it an H-Wing. It is, after all, a Honda.

Dude. im sorry, but thats total crap!

 

[ChrisReid]

There's also two patches.

 

[Maj.Striker]

Hahahaha...great responses, Loaf, Chris. Ok, unlike the CIC Prophecy Flightsuits, the H-Wing looks nothing like its namesake.

The flightsuits look...like a flightsuit. The H-wing...looks like trailer trash.

 

[LeHah]

The H-wing...looks like trailer trash.

I don't even think trailer trash would be involved in that

I don't agree with the use of pejorative or classist epithets.

Do these art car look better? If so, why?

I don't agree with the use of pejorative or classist epithets.

That's just the sort of thing I'd expect a high and mighty Steltek to say.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

I think the phrase 'classist epithet' is in and of itself a classist epithet.

 

[st3lt3k]

Who would have guessed that the Klingon D7 battle cruiser would evolve from a Ford Torino?

Frosty already did that joke last year.

Can You imagine Raptor class heavy carfighter? Or something like Black Lance Dragon with its fusion plant (you don`t have to refuel it!)? That would be something!
