belkor Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 This is just a new colour version or my previously posted TIE Fighter. The cockpit window and hatch pieces have been taken from 75101 (and lush they are too). This week I will be shortening the wings by 1 stud (each side) and adding the front canons. Quote
AJV Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Wonderful Job! Ever sine I realized that there were two different versions of the Tie Fighter in TFA , I was wondering what it would look like to make a regular Tie out of the official Special Forces Tie. :) Would you by any chance be able to share some instructions on how you built it? I would love to be able to make it or something similar. Quote
Junior Shark Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Great. Another reason for me to run out and grab 75101. This is so great, man! Have you considered swapping out the gray for white? Quote
Nom Carver Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I have a thing for comparisons, can you post a side by side with the grey one? by the way, it looks pretty awesome. Quote
belkor Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Thanx for the comments. Yeah I'm thinking of making the wings white, and possibly changing the cockpit to dark blue-ish grey (i.e. building a new one!). It's just a matter of making the investment in white plates and wedges (TIE wings aint cheap that's for sure). I also need to build the wings for my Interceptor. The lxf file is available here http://www.brickshel...t-order-tie.lxf Here are some side-by-side photos, taken with an OT Grey TIE and 75101. Unfortunately, I've only got one set of 75101 canopy pieces and so the standard FO TIE has the pieces from 75082 (which are clearly the wrong colour) whilst I sort a new set. I prefer the Grey OT version myself. Edited September 23, 2015 by belkor Quote
Nom Carver Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 That's one handsome trio, I also like grey better but I also think that regular FO TIEs won't have the red windshield so the only missing part on it is the black top hatch. Quote
joebiwankenobi Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Wow! I asked and you delivered! It looks great. I don't know what the canopy color is on the regular First Order Tie but I love it in black! Nice Tie Squad too. Quote
BJM Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 yeah this is a great tie squad. Great post and photos - thanks. Quote
Vectormatic Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 That grey OT Tie looks excellent, i had to do a double take to make sure it was lego on the first pic I do hope Lego brings out more Ties with the current style of cockpits, they look perfect Quote
r5-j2 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) The grey is amazing, the proportions are spot on; it does look like a movie miniature! regards Kenny Edited October 6, 2015 by r5-j2 Quote
r5-j2 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) This is a really great build(all your TIE`s are special), I added cannons by opening up the missile "launchers" on my First Order TIE:-so a small black Technics piece could be pressed in (Lego is tough stuff.)

mordatre Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Your First order standard TIE Fighter inspired me to make my own. I based it on 75101 to make it similar to my official 75101 but I also liked the way 75101 attached the wings. I also made it 2 studs wider. Next up is giving my 75101 white panels as well. fotie1 by mordatre, on Flickr Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 All these tie's look completely awesome, makes me want to go out and buy the FO Tie Quote
LegendaryArticuno Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Missing the red stripe, i think that's a defining feature of the 1st Order Tie Fighter. But overall looks great. Edited October 19, 2015 by LegendaryArticuno Quote
Vectormatic Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Missing the red stripe, i think that's a defining feature of the 1st Order Tie Fighter. But overall looks great. The red stripe is the designation of the Special Forces of the FO, so instead of an SF Tie (which has the rear guns/gunner), this is just a regular FO Tie. Quote
KevFett2011 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Good MOD ! KevFett2011 Good MOD ! KevFett2011 Quote
Brick Capone Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Looks really nice. All of the fighters do. Quote

Ozbikrbuddy Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 these MOCs are gr8 Might there be some instructions? Quote
belkor Posted March 3, 2020 Author Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Hi there, Thanks for the request for the file. In my opinion there have been much better TIEs posted here since I did this (back in 2015). But here is the link to the finished version, which has slightly shortened wing pylons and an improved connection to the solar panels: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/obi1000kenobi/TIE/first-order-tie-final.lxf Cheers Chris Edited March 3, 2020 by belkor improved sentences!
