    TIE Advanced: Proportions

    OK, I have taken a great interest recently in the new set, the TIE Advanced VS A Wing, and you'll known this if you follow the 2016 news and rumours page. Now, while this set looks great, and the A Wing is the best I have seen yet, the TIE is quite off. I'm going to be referencing the old TIE Advanced, 8017, so bring up a picture of that in your mind. http://brickset.com/sets/8017-1/Darth-Vader-s-TIE-Fighter And here's the new TIE: http://brickset.com/sets/75150-1/Vader-s-TIE-Advanced-vs-A-wing-Fighter Now, the first thing that I noticed straight away was the solar panels. They look too short. They should be extended by about 4 studs. And, the angles on the panels are wrong. They need to be a 45 degree angle. Notice that the old set got the panel shaping right, but is lacking a good border around them, which the new one does have. The other main problem is the back part of the ship. Simply put: it's puny. The older set also got this right, but is lacking the detail that the new set is boasting. https://dynamicsubspace.net/2010/01/22/lego-star-wars-darth-vaders-tie-advanced-fighter/#jp-carousel-1203 But which set is better? Well, if your into the fine details and overall look, then definitely the new TIE: It is my favourite, simply for how good it looks. Also, its looks pretty easy to mod in the right proportions. With the older set, sure, you're getting the correct proportions, but it would take alot more modding to make it look good, as it is missing alot of nice details. Also, you're not getting the great new windshield and canopy the new one is boasting. Anyway, that's my take on it. Let me know what your thoughts are. BONUS DRINKING GAME: Take a shot very time you see the word 'proportions.'
