barneius Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) TIE Advanced X1 (1160 pieces) crowns my battles with the Twin Ion Engine family - at least for the near future. The biggest challenge was, which probably is not a surprise, designing the front diagonal parts of the fuselage while preserving the detail in the middle of each. I managed to model it in a way that satisfies me, even though I have not been able to find any method for it for a long time. What I am not entirely satisfied with is the fact that the upper and lower parts of the panels are not as stable as in my other TIEs. Nevertheless it's still a solid build regarding it's a display piece, not a toy. More pics on my flickr account here. If you like it, you may find pdf step-by-step instructions on rebrickable.

icm Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 That's a very nice model! I especially like the shaping of the aft fuselage behind the cockpit, though that wasn't your main focus in the build. The super-smooth center wing panels are really nice too. Quote
Cylo Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Nice work! The front diagonal parts certainly look great! Quote
belkor Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Love it! Great work with the shaping of the pylons/struts and the cockpit. Will defo buy your instructions. Thank you. Quote
Brick-Wombat Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Beautiful model. The shaping on the front wing struts looks amazing. Quote
