star wars + starbucks cups = tie fighter [papercraft]

Looking for something to do with all those Starbucks coffee cups you collect every morning? Why not turn them into some great geek art like this guy did.

Photographer Dan Winters (from WIRED) saw all those cups, stirrers and other paper miscellany and was inspired to turn them into an awesome TIE Fighter model. Darth Vader would be proud. All in all, Dan used 1 tall lid, 12 small sample cups, 37 grande cups, 63 drink sleeves, 10 of those large 96oz. coffee boxes, and 216 stirrers to put his creation together.

…I’ve been looking for an excuse to dust off my Star Wars Coffee logo again, and now I finally have one.

  1. Wow.. too much free time for that guy. While that is really cool I’d like to know how much time he spent assembling this thing. lol

    I wonder if he actually saved that many cups, lids, sample cups, stirrers, etc… Overall an impressive and detailed piece of modern art.
