mcgrah Posted March 5, 2017 Hi there, I've seen some nice work done around here, so I decided to share my part ;) I've been working on TIE/D Defender for some time now. It's based on the very same cockpit concept as original lego Tie Fighter (id: 79095). Model has ~2400 bricks (+around 100 for a stand) and believe me or not it's quite sturdy :) It's scaled to be displayed next to Tie Fighter 79095 UCS. I cannot post images here, so here is a link to some renders: http://imgur.com/a/bqP77 Cheers and let me know what do you think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellisss_2 Posted March 5, 2017 Hello, mcgrah! Great job, this is awesome, the solid wings look great, it must weigh loads! I love the use of the mining wheel at the rear for the engine.The wing connections look fantastic too, the greebling is on point! Kind regards, Ellis.

Hi there, To my surprise, 3 layered plates weights closely the same as solid ones. This is like 30'ish version of the wings, happens to be the best I come up so far having in mind that Defender has lots of wings displayed at weird angles, so not Tie Fighter/Interceptor 'looking at the one side' way :) Is for the mining wheel, I was browsing different 'engines' around LDD to use instead TIE Fighter original one as it wasn't ok for Defender - and this one was the best :) (this time only 9 engines happened before this one).

Fuppylodders Posted March 6, 2017 This looks really good! Good enough to be mistaken for a set, and one I'd love to have too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure thing, just got to clean it up a bit and I'll post LXF. Got no idea how to create human readable instructions :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azrielsc Posted March 7, 2017 So cool! Definitely following this thread! Would compliment the TIE Fighter nicely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTube55 Posted March 7, 2017 Oh wow...just wow...I have no words to describe how amazing that is. I have never seen a UCS TIE Defender that seemed so sturdy and looked so good I really wish you could make a gallery of it in real bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H_Solo Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Great Work! I think the Defender is one of the coolest ships ever. i'd really love instructions to this one... could you use a lot of parts from the standard TIE Fighter? Edited March 13, 2017 by H_Solo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's slightly modified 75095 stand - I've changed only mounting part as it's kinda different now :) 7 hours ago, H_Solo said: Great Work!

Yes, you can use some parts from TIE Fighter, but not enough to justify buying 75095 to be a donor :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H_Solo Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Excellent, thank you very much! (I have about half a TIE lying around here anyway which is left over from my TIE Interceptor project...) Edited March 15, 2017 by H_Solo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
