CCOOK Posted March 5, 2014 Well here it is finally: Back end - it's actually pretty stable but I put it on a transparent mount: Business end: Enjoy. -CCOOK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brickfoot Posted March 5, 2014 Fantastic build CCOOK. The amount of detail you were able to incorporate into a relatively small model is respectable. I am especially intrigued by the shape and techniques used to create the wings. Care to elaborate on how you achieved this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dapper-D2 Posted March 5, 2014 I can tell you put a lot of thought into this to create such wonderful details. I especially like how you've made all the gray framing on the wings connect so there is no loose parts at the corners and intersections. I took on that challenge once on a simple Tie fighter and gave up, but you have achieved the effect perfectly. Bravo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krispy Posted March 5, 2014 Agreed, I never thought about using that small corner piece when framing the wings. And the fact that your pylons are rounded is especially nice. Well done! I might need to rebuild my defender using this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCOOK Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I am especially intrigued by the shape and techniques used to create the wings. Care to elaborate on how you achieved this? Look close and you will see hinge tiles connecting with hinge plates along with support 4L bars on grabbers - the 4L bars support the grey wing framing - this same technique could easily yield the Avenger and most other TIE designs as well. -CCOOK Edited March 15, 2014 by CCOOK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedimacewindu Posted May 2, 2016 Hands down the most unique ship in the expanded universe, albeit a bit overpowered. Really unique and great work on the build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted May 3, 2016 Marvellous building! I know this ship from old Tie Fighter-gaming-days and you just got it perfect. Is it swooshable too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scythelt Posted May 3, 2016 I played the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games to death when I was a kid and so still have a soft spot for the Tie Defender... this looks great - far better than the official retired lego set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
