These twin TIE hangar bays were designed for land based Imperial Garrisons.

Full marks for those windows and the arms up above the fighters :thumbup: It's a beautiful scene that I would gladly see in my room!

Nice scene. Those white pieces in the background are a nice touch. It appears to be lighting of some sort.

A long time ago, I built a model of a TIE Fighter... Like 1979 long time ago. One of the optional configurations was that you could attach (glue) the access hatch in place either open or closed.

TIE Fighters are entered from the top through what is represented by the round printed dish on a LEGO model. I think the only reasons the front also opens is so we can get our fingers in there to seat the pilot, and because attaching the dome-shaped canopy any other way is currently impossible. So, for accuracy, your access bridges don't technically need to wrap around the front of the wing so the pilots can climb in the front.

Apart from that one admittedly very nitpicky observation, I think that TIE Fighter bay is AWESOME! Love the support column so the wings don't touch the deck.

Awesome! The use of black really makes the details pop. I love the ladders connecting the ramps to the fighters and the "imperial wallpaper" in the background.

Thanks all for the comments but this would soon be deconstructed to make way for a better/larger MOC as I feel that it's a bit cramped and hopefully add a couple more hangar bays. So stay tuned...

PS. Thanks Lobot for the blog.
