In November of 2007 Mike unleashed perhaps the greatest Star Wars creation of all time, everyone’s favorite obese X-Wing pilot and his trusty “keg-droid” sidekick B3-3R. For my money, this this model perfectly symbolizes Mike’s inventive building style and clever sense of humor.
Yep, hands down this is my favourite of all Mike’s builds. This thing made me laugh so hard when I first saw, and it makes me laugh every time I have seen it since!
Such an awesome build. Mike was very talented. Instantly recognizable as an X-Wing pilot (Porkins?). And perfect mix of humor.
The other thing that became clear to me after looking over Mike’s builds is that he was the master of brick-built characters. It was rare for him to build anything in minifig-scale, but everything he built was populated with funny people and creatures.
