DonBrizzel Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Hello folks. Back at it again. My newest creation is the TIE interceptor. Pretty straight forward. I combined ideas from my TIE fighter and TIE advanced, with some other adjustments to create the interceptor. As always, criticism is appreciated. Quote
Commander Colt Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Good job, a couple comments. The guns could probably be stuck onto the wing tips, or if you are using them as a gray frame, be added elsewhere. The antenna at the bottom of the cockpit seems a bit out of place, on the actual thing they are small enough that they do not need inclusion at this scale. The panels at the middle inside rear of the wings, could be black instead of gray. Maybe a larger dish for the top and bottom of the cockpit(3 wide)? Quote
BEAVeR Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 You pretty much nailed those TIE's. That cockpit, those pylons and guns already look really good. The proportions are a little bit off though. Actually, the angled pieces of the wings are a bit higher than the vertical panels. So you could shrink the fixed panels to three studs (but maybe in proportions that wouldn't look to great compared to the cockpit), or you could make the angled wings four studs high (ending up with a rather big model). Commander Colt already pointed out the abundant use of gray on the back of the inside of the fixed wings. I do not gree to totally delete the gray however. Jist like in the real model, stick to a thin band of grey in the middle. Looking forward to seeing a diorama with all these models! Are you planning something similar, or are you going to display them on seperare stands like you showed already? Quote
DonBrizzel Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Thank you for the advice, guys! I will work on these changes and see what I can come up with. The toughest part is going to be the proportions. There is just not the right kind of bricks at this scale to get the wings just right. I fiddled with ever angles piece to get the correct proportions, but keep the wings thin, and it was a no go, but I might have another idea that I will try tonight. As for the displaying of them, I plan on displaying them each on individual stands for now until I can come up with the money to make a scene. Most likely it will be the Endor space battle from RoTJ. I have only ordered the pieces for the X-wing and Y-wing thus far. I am waiting to be satisfied with what I have with my remaining ships and then BL them all at once. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Not bad! Can't wait for some more mini models from you. Quote
