The Executor


Ok, the Pack's pinewood derby race was today, so now I can reveal The Car! Our son S. designed it after Darth Vader's Star Dreadnought Destroyer - The Executor - as seen in Star Wars Episodes V and VI, and combined with a speed swoop pinewood derby car design. It weighed in at 5.0 ounces, and consistently ran in speeds in the 2.3 second range. He won 1st place in our Bear Den out of 9 cars racing, and 7th out of the top 15 of the Pack (top 3 from each Den raced in the finals). Congratulations to S., and thank Heaven it's DONE until next year!

Master Yoda

"Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not, for my ally is the Force."
Master Yoda was next, again thanks to Sami at her GeekCentralStation blog. I still have to make his cane out of sculpey, but it's on my list of things to do!
I admit, I bought her patterns for the Rebel heroes, as well as the pirate. They're on my list of things to do! I have to make a set of Rebels for myself, as well as for our son, since we're going to redecorate his room, Star Wars-style, complete with the Death Star all over his wall. Will post pics of that, when we get it going!
