TIE Improved Prototype; my first "big" build impressions...

Hi everybody, this is the first time I`ve built a Lego set with a decent parts count and to honest, I initially found it terrifying .I`m used to plastic 1/35 scale armour kits ,where all the parts are on sprues already numbered so pouring the contents of bag 1 onto my building tray just seemed wrong.How could this pile of bits become a TIE fighter ,anyway after bag 1 was done, I found a "building rhythm" and a TIE appeared !............ I love the look of this ship ,the Lego designers are geniuses and I`m hooked and hoping for a re-issue of Vader`s TIE now it has featured in Star Wars Rebels

.

Byeee!

Kenny.

Hi and congratulations.

The model is fine, the cockpit is well detailed and the colour scheme looks good. Maybe the panels could be longer? You can post more pictures.

best regards.

Glad you got over that initial fright and caught the building bug. Welcome to the club (hold on to your wallet!)!

Very nice set, try also the Sith fury class interceptor 9500 also a great set.Oh by the way building Lego sets is a very expensive addiction, but a very satisfying one
