Veynom Posted June 28, 2016 After my TIE-Emancipator, here comes my rendering of the TIE-Defender, legendary spacecraft from the Star Wars expanded universe. TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr Directly inspired from the 8087 Lego set, here is my attempt at the TIE-Defender. Originally, I merly wanted to slightly modify my 8087 in order to block the rotation of the cockpit. Ultimately, I rebuilt the TIE from scratch, one update after the other.

And a good side effect is that the wings are now symmetrical on both sides. No more inverted studs. :) TIE-Defender by Veynom, on Flickr Front view depicting its angelic face.

Davor Posted June 28, 2016 Nice! Great build! Btw. Tie defender is not expanded univers/legends anymore. It is official cannon now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ber Teh Unicern Posted June 28, 2016 Awesome! Wings are a bit thick, but who cares? It's a great MOD of that set! If I had 10 thumbs, I'd stick 'em all up! Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted June 28, 2016 That is a nice model, but the wings are too thick for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
