Aigore Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Okie...this took a bit longer than anticipated. A weekend build turned nasty đ After the idominable Intruder I wante to do something simple,a no fuzz straightforward build....Like a BanDai TIE Interceptor! I shook out the few sprues and oogled the amazing details on them for a bit before getting on with it. I started with masking the clear parts... Then I primed everything black A bit o blackbasing and started making swirls and stuff in light grey. Threw together the pit and pilot... Supposed toi be a bunch of decals in there but I figured who´d notice...I want it done! Closed the inner orb... put it into the fuselage... And closed the fuselage... Covered the "eye" with a taped up glass less frame... And painted everything in thin layers of Airsuperiority Blue. Then some weathering after I glosscoated....washes and pigments, I wanted this Interceptor to look used...like it was in the hands of a superior pilot who actually never had to bail out of his interceptor đ Started putting things together after a flat coat... Somewhere around here an idea popped into my mind...it is almost finished, actually just seconds from being finished and I came to think about a nifty TIE I had once seen.. it had OH-film covering it´s solar panels I think it was made by a very talented builder called Diego. anyways I ran with that idea... and things starte to take time:P I got some OH film sent to me by a mate, Thanx Fredrik. and I got on with it. I had to cut many panels..I had a long learning curve on getting them right, I know meassure thrice and cut twice or something... Panel by panel it took shape... until..done! More finished pictures to come later! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Walker Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 That looks fantastic! I have a couple of TIE's in my stash, including this one. Thanks for the inspiration! Â What is the thought behind the clear sheet? Â M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I shot a thin coat of holographic spectral chrome on the gloss black panels too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jbryan911 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Cool! I'll have to remember the spectral paint thing on my next one. TIE' are like potato chips, I've built three of the Fine Molds kits. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
