Ar Sparfel Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Here is my new MOC. I really wanted to built small things after my maxifigs. But i still wanted to continue with the star wars universe. I decided to try to built several karts with star wars minifigs. I've been working on these karts for several days. At least, each kart has been rebuilt entirely one or two times. Here is the result : Darth Vader's Kart B-Wing Pilot's Kart Leia's Kart Yoda's Kart X-Wing Pilot's Kart Clone's Kart Quote
RoryoCox Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Very good. I really like the idea. The carts themselves have great detail and really look good. Quote
Big Cam Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 haha, I love them. Super mario kart is one of my all time favorite games. You really did the karts jsutice too, with the overhang in the front and back, they really look like karts that could be in the newer versions of mario kart. Really cool. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Great idea 'Ar Sparfel' - excellent kart designs (missing only weapons for your very own SW Death Race ) - Vaders is cool in all black, next coolest Clone's white racer. In all a very good job at knocking these up, great work 'Ar Sparfel' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
awesomebrick Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 There great Ar sparfel My favourite is the X wing pilot's kart I love the curved back You should make more of these! (Admiral ackbar hint hint ) Quote
LazerBlade Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 You did a splendid job!! These are bumper cars right? Quote
Ras 74 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Such a funny, cute and original idea to do! I know there is a few around that really loves this monochrome thing as well. All of them has truley an amazing set of details as well. Good work. Quote
Brickus Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Those are great, I love how they all match to their individual Karts. Quote
RileyC Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 They looks really cool. The use of a fair bit of greebling is nice and my favourite has to be Leia's because I just love the front of the kart its just so perfectly designed. Great work! Quote
MillerTime Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I'd recommend changing the clone trooper to a storm trooper to keep all the carts in the original trilogy, and add 2 more (since there are 8 in mario kart). I'd add either a brown jawa kart or a brown chewbacca kart, and maybe a jarjar kart too. Quote

I'd add either a brown jawa kart or a brown chewbacca kart, and maybe a jarjar kart too. It's a good idea to change the clone trooper to a storm trooper. I'll change it. I'll try to make two more karts. I didn't realise that all the minifigs were in the original trilogy. I'll have ti keep in this way. Quote
Rufus Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Great stuff, and what an original idea! Love it. Next you'll have to make a sand green kart that Jabba can drive! Quote
Walter Kovacs Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Wow, these are fanastic. I like all of them, but the one that really grabs my eye is that Vader kart. I'd recommend changing the clone trooper to a storm trooper to keep all the carts in the original trilogy, and add 2 more (since there are 8 in mario kart). I'd add either a brown jawa kart or a brown chewbacca kart, and maybe a jarjar kart too. Anyone else find it funny that MillerTime suggested making them all OT, then threw in JarJar as an optional eighth kart? Quote
dr_spock Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Cool MOC. I like your personalization of each kart to the character. When does the race begin? Quote
Palms Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Their so cute, not only did you create a great kart design but you successfully modified it in each iteration to suit the character. I love them . On a completely unrelated note: 200th post Now I just have to wait 10 days before I get one of those handsome SW tags . Edited March 20, 2010 by Palms Quote
Oky Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Very cool little creations. Star Wars Kart could be a very fun videogame. I bet you can create karts for each and every star wars fig ever released! I'm not digging the monochromeness of them too much though. I think the X-Wing pilot's kart needs some white (and maybe a dash of blue or grey), Yoda's needs some sand green and/or brown, the A-Wing pilot's needs some grey, and Slave Leia's needs some brown or dark red. The only ones that work in the monochrome color scheme are Vader's and the Clone's kart. But maybe that's just me. Nice work, and I look forward to seeing more of these! Quote
Ar Sparfel Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 My first idea was to built the karts with only one colour. It was the challenge. I agree with you, the karts would have been more realistic with the true colors. Maybe for the next version. Quote
prateek Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 These are pretty cool! My favourite is Vader's car Quote
Future74 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Now we only need a lego game like Mario karts My favourite would be the X-wing pilot kart, I just love the orange bricks and design. Quote
Rook Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 All one color is a little drab. Subtle highlights and neutral colors will give these karts more depth. Quote
CommanderFox Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Great idea Ar Sparfel! I love the karts, very nicely detailed. Nice job! CommanderFox Quote
MillerTime Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Wow, these are fanastic. I like all of them, but the one that really grabs my eye is that Vader kart. Anyone else find it funny that MillerTime suggested making them all OT, then threw in JarJar as an optional eighth kart? Haha wasn't thinking! I'm not sure what other colors for a OT figure he could do..... Quote
Ar Sparfel Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 As suggested, I'm working again on the karts, new pictures will come soon. I'l try to make two more karts. Quote
Big Cam Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 As suggested, I'm working again on the karts, new pictures will come soon.I'l try to make two more karts. You should pitch these to Nintendo and LEGO, I'd buy a set with all these karts. Quote
not-in-use-anymore Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Maybe the X-wing could have mini-wings? I agree about adding more colors, that way it'd be easier to see details. you could use a coffin for JJ's car so that you can keep it in the original trilogy Quote
