Deinonychus Posted May 29, 2008 I noticed a lot of people were pretty down on the TIE Crawler (7664) set when it came out last year. I suspect a lot of that was due to the standard "LEGO Blue Squadron" colors it came in. Personally I don't mind the blue TIEs, but the Century Tank was sitting there on the shelf with my AT-ATs and my grayed-out Juggernaut, and the blue just didn't fit in. So I decided to do a color swap because... A) It would fit in better with my Imperial Army display B) I was curious what it'd look like anyway C) I was curious if others would like the set more in straight-up grays So here it is. I think it looks pretty sexy in gray myself. Still doesn't make me want a LEGO TIE Mauler any less though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunamis Posted May 29, 2008 Much better than the blue color scheme in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted May 29, 2008 meh, TIEs were never really appealing to me, and i just dont like the design... plus, im not too familiar with EU... good job though, i give you credit for trying to make it more appealing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commandosevy Posted May 29, 2008 Thats kinda like a forest squadron vehicle..... I love that color!! Great job Deinonychus!!! I wish this was the color of it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plural Posted May 29, 2008 Very nice much better. But the red cones look a bit off to be. I'm thinking they might look a bit better in light bley. That might just be me though. In any case, good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commanderbly42 Posted May 29, 2008 I think that it looks a whole lot better in grey than in blue. This, to me, should have been the way TLC designed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluyt Posted May 29, 2008 So that's why you needed dark gray double convex slopes Nice recoulor, looking better than the blue, only it fits less with the tie fighters/bombers (with their blue accents) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted May 30, 2008 Yep, much better indeed, a cool work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captaintau Posted May 30, 2008 Great job. Yeah, much sexier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted May 30, 2008 I like it better than the original, still wouldn't buy it though Keep up the cool mods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonator Posted May 30, 2008 That looks very slick in dark grey, nice job! It looks a bit more like a camouflage vehicle now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted May 30, 2008 Still one of the most idiotic designs in the entire Expanded Universe. That isn't the fault of LEGO, who did a pretty decent job copying it, in all it's bleh. That said, somehow your recolour almost makes it tolerable. Damn fine job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaders_son Posted May 30, 2008 Jap, much sexier I like the colors you used a lot better than the general LEGO-Tie-blue. But the red cones look a bit off to be. I'm thinking they might look a bit better in light bley. That might just be me though. I didn't mind the red cones before you mentioned it Plural, but I think your idea with the light bley ones instead would work very well on this mod. Maybe Deinonychus can give us a pic with light bley cones? Please Benny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millacol88 Posted May 31, 2008 I think it looks better this way. I dont understand why TLC colours their TIEs in blue rather than gray though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
