The Librarian Posted June 14, 2017 A while back, while on a big Star Wars kick, I knocked together this as a prospective design for Kylo Ren's personal TIE Fighter. My guiding idea was 'like Darth Vader's, only bigger and spikier and totally awesomer!!' Because that's how poor Kylo thinks.

Cody Startale Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Excuse my wording, but: that is the tits. Love everything about it, especially that color scheme. Slap some unnecessary flick shooters on there, and you've got yourself a perfect 50-bucks playset. Damn, it's so sexy.

Smack Posted June 14, 2017 I really like your design. It does remind me of a tie variant, perhaps that is now a part of the legends material. The one thing you might want to change imho is the head of the twin laser canons. It may be just me but the gold contrasts with the rest of the moc to much. Other than that I like everything about this. Well done sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the pictures, I'm in two minds about them, but on the whole, I think they worked with the model in-person. On 14/06/2017 at 2:19 PM, Nom Carver said: Beautiful! Is this an original TIE design? I love it. It's definitely original in the final execution but I took inspiration from this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/HU_Hunter_multi-role_starfighter as well, of course, as the original TIE Advanced design.

It's proven to be quite the multi-purpose design and will be showing up in future models!

Not sure how well it shows but the idea was that the landing gear could act like claws for grappling. Thanks again everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icm Posted June 19, 2017 As others in this thread have said, this looks like it would work very well as an official set, except for the techniques used to get the black rim about the wings. Those are really clever, but I can't see TLG using them in a retail set. This ship reminds me of concept art for TIE fighters from the "Neo-Empire" that chase the Millennium Falcon over a water world in the Force Awakens concept art book. In the end they decided to go with the more familiar TIE look with colors inverted, but I'd be surprised if they didn't revert to those earlier concepts for Kylo Ren's advanced neo-TIE. So I bet the actual set will look pretty similar to this. (Disclaimer: I know nothing!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max_Headroom_23 Posted June 21, 2017 The sleekness of it all is amazing. But I have one question, whats with the gold on the tips of the cannons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted June 22, 2017 I like the elongated fuselage behind the cockpit. It really flows well with the low profile wing design, and the red canopy oozes Sith appeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
