barneius Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) TIE Advanced X1 (1160 pieces) crowns my battles with the Twin Ion Engine family - at least for the near future. The biggest challenge was, which probably is not a surprise, designing the front diagonal parts of the fuselage while preserving the detail in the middle of each. I managed to model it in a way that satisfies me, even though I have not been able to find any method for it for a long time. What I am not entirely satisfied with is the fact that the upper and lower parts of the panels are not as stable as in my other TIEs. Nevertheless it's still a solid build regarding it's a display piece, not a toy. More pics on my flickr account here. If you like it, you may find pdf step-by-step instructions on rebrickable.

icm Posted April 30, 2019 That's a very nice model! I especially like the shaping of the aft fuselage behind the cockpit, though that wasn't your main focus in the build. The super-smooth center wing panels are really nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
