Super Cool 3D Star Wars Bead Sprite Models

Flickr beadmaster Doctor Octoroc has created these incredible 3D models of Star Wars spaceships (and some cool cars and gadgets) using thousands of tiny beads glued together. The X-Wing fighter above is made from 22,000 beads mounted on a wooden dowel and some foam core for support. The whole thing is about 2 foot square by 1 foot tall and weighs about 8 pounds! That’s a lot of beads. Here’s an AT-ST:

Here’s a Speeder from Return of the Jedi made of over 7000 beads.
