Eric W. Posted May 16, 2012 Being my favorite EU fighter, I had to do this one right! I based it heavily from Ansel Hsiao's amazing rendering. Being that there are not too many good images and the fighter itself is portrayed in many different ways, I came to the conclusion that his model (not the most accurate as for the look of it in the game,) is perfect. Let me know what you all think!

Dapper-D2 Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I’m not real familiar with this ship, but you’ve done a terrific job with all the details and smooth transitions and those wings are just amazing! Beautifully done, you should be proud. Great job on this and your entire fleet! Edited May 16, 2012 by Dapper-D2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parrothead Rasmus Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I can' believe I'm the first to comment! This is a fantastic MOC. The detailing (especially the cockpit!) is spectacular. Easily one of the best TIE MOCs I've ever seen! Would this happen to be on Cuusoo? EDIT: Second. Guess I took to long to say what I wanted to say.

Brickdoctor Posted May 16, 2012 Wow, there are just so many details here! I love the shaping around the cockpit ball, especially those fins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would this happen to be on Cuusoo? Looks like Dapper beat you to the punch! Thanks!! The cockpit is actually the one part of my fighters that I want to look the best. If the ship sucks but the cockpit is cool, then I'm happy! By the way, I have definitely been thinking about submitting it to cuusoo. Just hope it would get the votes. On another note, I love your avatar image! I have a big "The Great Wave" above my fireplace at my house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dhivael Posted May 16, 2012 I don't usually comment, but I have to say this is one of the most beautiful I've seen ever. Always been a fan of the lines of the TIE Avenger, and you captured the look perfectly. Takes me back to playing "TIE Fighter" over a decade ago. Well done!

lightningtiger Posted May 16, 2012 AWESOME Tie fighter 'Eric W.', I the smooth lines with all that tiling....cockpit is excellent as well ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickadeer Posted May 16, 2012 I think I remember the craft from TIE Fighter (1994). You made a decent build Is there any chance you make a reference pic so I can see the size of the pilot in relation to the whole fighter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Posted May 16, 2012 I rarely post but I have to say, you've got to add this to Cuusoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted May 16, 2012 Do you still have your TIE Advanced? can you compare them? This MOC is absolutely fantastic, but once again I can't stop looking at the cockpit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HJR-Holland Posted May 16, 2012 Cool, another appreciator of Ansel Hsiao's work (see http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63436&st=0&p=1142171entry1142171 ). Nice rendition of the model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted May 16, 2012 Let me just start by saying that the cockpit is completely amazing. The whole control panel, and gun armrests - wonderful! The TIE itself is fantastic, too! I love the way you've done the wings, it looks great! The middle is wonderful, too, with nice piece usage and great shaping! Amazing job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric W. Posted May 16, 2012 Do you still have your TIE Advanced? can you compare them? This MOC is absolutely fantastic, but once again I can't stop looking at the cockpit. I still have it. I had to borrow some pieces from it though so its partially taken apart. Cool, another appreciator of Ansel Hsiao's work (see http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63436&st=0&p=1142171entry1142171 ). Nice rendition of the model I remember that! That walker he designed gave me goose bumps the first time I saw it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
