XCool Posted June 5, 2014 Amazing, however, the back delta bent wings (if that's how you describe them) should be a little longer. Here's a reference to what I mean: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nom Carver Posted June 5, 2014 Very good and very accurate, I like it just as how it is, but how swoshable is ti and how does the black plates stay in position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very tough and definitely swooshable; all black plating is anchored with brackets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BEAVeR Posted June 6, 2014 O yes, another amazing TIE from our TIE specialist! The wings on this one are a real gem. They're hard to get right with the slanted grey lines, but your version is just perfect, and it's incredible how that technique works and fits very well. It's also interesting to see how the grey and the black portions of the wings support each other. It's great to see that you put some effor in getting the nice grey borders to go all the way around, but that solution for the front wing tips isn't ideal. Maybe using some kind of skeleton arm (93609 seems fitting) could offer a less bulky , more menacing tip. And while the cannons are great, I don't see the need for those grey claw plates attached to them, since that particular detail doesn't appear on the actual model as far as I can see, and it stands out as rather eye catching while it should be not. Leaving those little remarks aside, the wings look very, very good and I especially like those greebles. Excellent work so far! The body has some nice features too. You conveyed the layered structure in the front quite good. The pylons are a bit too thick though, but I guess that's due to sturdiness. Still, maybe you could use 1x1 Technic bricks with axles through it, and that might work as well. The general shape of those quarter circle pieces is accurate, but it misses some fine detailing, making that part look a bit basic. Maybe you could make a structure with wedge plates or with flag pieces. Same goes for the back section in general, that could do with some more detailed layered structure to make it look more interesting... just like those wonderful greebles you already have there. But the grey part of the inside of the wings suffers form a similar lack of distinction. But you're definetly on the right way, and judging by what you've created before, I have no doubt this will become another masterpiece! These might sound like a lot of grave points, but only adjusting some of them might give your model a better look already... if you have no better solutions or remarks for yourself, that is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCOOK Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Here another update - wing insides and bottom of aft section re-done: Here's a side view: Behind the Defender: Wings are a little bent up from lots of repositioning. -CCOOK Edited June 11, 2014 by CCOOK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
