It can hit a mighty 6 miles per hour, is one-third scale, battery powered and steered via remote control plus it has room for a pilot. Who could possibly resist?

io9 takes a look at this mini Imperial marvel.

For scale reference on the main pod and side panels, Carver used one of the original Star Wars toys Kenner released in the ‘70s, with a few minor adjustments so he could squeeze the craft out of his workshop. But for other detail work he used a TIE Fighter toy that was released many years later which was far more accurate to the ships created for the movies.

If Justin Bolger isn’t filmed travelling to work in one of these within the next few days, there;’s something seriously wrong.
