Glass R2D2 sculpture
How’s this for art meets geek? Team Death Star found this glass R2D2 sculpture. I suspect the Jawas would pass this creation straight by but that would be a shame. The photograph shows all the fine work and joins in the droid; it isn’t just the general shape of Rtoo that’s been created. I can […]

The stars here really are impressive; Bill Moseley as Kickstand, Adam Savage as Dan, Penn Jillette as Dave-O, Martin Klebba as Little Dead, James Hurley as […]

They’re asking for $8,500 CAD and have raised over $3,000 CAD with three weeks to go. Given that Pinnacle are promoting the Kickstarter themselves I […]
