The Librarian Posted June 14, 2017 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.

Enjoy! Quote
Cody Startale Posted June 14, 2017 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. Edited June 14, 2017 by Cody Startale Quote
Smack Posted June 14, 2017 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. Quote
Nom Carver Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Beautiful! Is this an original TIE design? I love it. Quote
sandtrooper Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 This is a great design executed very well! Quote
firefox Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Great design, better then most tie fighters so far created Quote
Littleworlds Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Looks really good. Fast, sleek and letha!! Quote
Cyh Naan Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Great design, it has a particular and original style, very beautiful TIE. I like the landing gear. Quote
Hoth Rebel Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Besides the nice ship, I really like your build for the stand! Nice one. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Impressive design, fits the New Order very well. Love the stand as well. Quote
The Librarian Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks for all the kind words! On 14/06/2017 at 8:57 AM, Smack said: I really like your design.

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! Quote
Nom Carver Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 I like your design better than the reference material, good job! Quote
icm Posted June 19, 2017 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!) Quote
Max_Headroom_23 Posted June 21, 2017 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? Quote
Only Sinner Posted June 22, 2017 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. Quote
