A long, long time ago I started working on a micro scale Millennium Falcon. To begin with all I wanted to do was add detail to the Microfighter but I kept tinkering and before I knew it I had a growing collection of micro Star Wars freighters and fighters, and here they are! Instructions for all these little builds are on my Rebrickable page. Since this all started with that Falcon Microfighter the cockpit piece (a light blueish-grey 2x2 truncated cone) became my yardstick for scale. Luckily trans-black 1x1 slope pieces work as fighter cockpits at the same scale so all the ships are, and will continue to be, as close to scale with each other as I can manage, at least based on these pieces and whatever reference images I can gather from Google. My latest (September 2020) micro starship is the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels. I only watched the show two years ago but fell in love with it straight away, I assumed it would be throwaway entertainment for kids but it quickly developed the characters and story with life and grit, plus the ships and space battles are so well done! Anyway, here she is, complete with interior and tiny detatchable Phantom. Rather than carrying on doing new posts for each new ship I plan on adding them all here. All the instructions are on my Rebrickable page and there will be some photos of the real builds somewhere in this post, plus a few more on Flickr. I’m having a lot of fun creating at micro scale, it’s quite fast and satisfying and makes good use of those tiny spare parts you always get with retail sets, so if you like what you see then why not have a go yourself! I hope you enjoy these little builds and thanks for stopping by :)

As a follow-up to my custom Z-95 Headhunter, I immediately built it a worthy adversary. The First Order is seriously lacking TIE variants, most notably a bomber (that hologram shown by DJ in The Last Jedi doesn't… doesn't count.) The official First Order TIE bomber may be just rehash of the Imperial model, but I was inspired by YouTuber E.C. Henry's own take on the craft, along with a digital model he made here (video link). The only thing I changed is add a red Special Forces livery, as this is a heavy bomber with more guns. Perhaps the official TIE bombers are the all-black regular TIE bombers, just like the TIE-SF fighter is different from the First Order TIE fighter. The cockpit module was inspired by Jerac's TIE Bomber MOC, and I also studied his TIE Advanced and TIE Interceptor for the building techniques on the solar wings. I am quite proud of the hexagonal parts and all the simple greebling on it. There are more pics on the flickr album. Lastly, here it is facing off against some Z-95 Headhunters who have discovered a huge secret...

Next TIE craft in the line! The Bomber is one of my favourite designs in the lineup. Interceptor is nice, the standard T/F is somewhat boring and featureless, but the bomber is visibly a workhorse of the fleet. It is heavy, rugged and pragmatic as possible, with no regard placed when it comes to its look. In the end you get a ship which is totally distinct and what is rare in Star Wars world, assymetric. Who wouldn't like such a design? What was surprising for me was how heavy the ship is compared to other TIEs. It uses almost twice the part count to the standard T/F, and yet it is similar in size. The build was fun but not super challenging, there were just few complex areas: coning shape of the hulls' fronts and bottoms, engines, bomb bay, center hull joiner, having the hulls proper diameter.... okay, perhaps this is few things to consider :D Lets get to that which matters - the design! I hope you like it as much as I did the design! ...and there is a video, too! :D The ship is a commisioned build and as such, has instructions available! https://www.brickvault.toys/collections/all

Hi with a big nod of recommendation and inspiration to Carnage717 with his work on his Tie Bomber using 75150 rebels set vaders tie fighter / a wing & 75154 tie striker so I got 2 tie strikers (with no figures for less that 1 complete tie striker) and the Vaders tie fighter /A-wing set when it was half price and set about building my own Tie- Bomber with some guidance from Carnage717 many thanks again for your help I had to buy a few extra bits so please feel free to click on the link to my flicker album and pass comment https://flic.kr/s/aHskWnbnsa hope you enjoy

Here is a TIE Bomber MOC I made a while back. It's too large, I know, but I made it a while back, and I wasn't as good at accuracy or stability back then. This was originally supposed to fill in the gaps in the LEGO Star Wars lineup, but the way the modules are joined, it's far too weak to be made in real life, let alone made into a "set". Anyway, here it is: It needs stands to stand up (no pun intended) Here is the cockpit. It's very similar to the TIE Striker's one. There's a bombardier compartment at the back behind the cockpit: Fold open the other side, and you see the rapid stud shooter. It is activated by turning the engine behind the module, which I forgot to take a screenshot of Here is the wing detailing: C&C Welcome! I may update this topic with a pic of the engines when I have time. VaderFan2187 out!

Hi there, it's been a while, but i would like to present my latest moc, this time a star wars moc of my favorite imperial ship, the tie bomber!! it took me a while to complete, and i had to make a few bricklink orders for it, but i think it was worth it. i took some inspiration from other mocs out there, but mostly worked from pictures of the real thing. i hope you enjoy it! comments and criticism much appreciated:) Toni (ps. the interceptor is rebel builders design: check out his you tube channel!!)

Hello everyone, A couple months ago I posted my TIE-Bomber MOC, but now I've decided to put it on LEGO Ideas. Because I didn't want to necro my old post I decided to go a head and make a new topic, for those who haven't seen the original I've put a short summary and all the pictures below. If you would like to support my project click this link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/141973 Front view of the build (Cockpit windscreen needs to be the special TIE-Variant). Top view of the build, I decided to go with just a little greebling on the top. Back view of the build, the Twin Ion Engines came out pretty good. Inside the cockpit, there is room for both the pilot and the gunner. And lastely a size comparison between the official TIE-Fighter set and my TIE-Bomber.
