I am not going read through 11 pages to discover this question has been answered already, but will LFX files be supported as attachments, and why has the max file size been reduced to 40.96KB?

This would be a fantastic idea for LEGO to consider producing into a set!

Many thanks! However, since the new updates to Eurobricks I cannot attach the new LDD or BrickStock to reflect these detail changes…

TIE Updates The design for the laser cannons has been revised to subtly reflect a more so aggressive look. However, with the alterations, the 2 x 1 inverted slope that was once above the laser cannons had to be removed. Here, a 2 x 1 inverted slope with cutout would be handy… As well it can be noticed that the control handle has received restyling into a more spiffy-looking design with use of the (95344) with the (99021) as the base, rather than the previous droid body, as in the 75150 set. Following up with the aggressiveness of the subtle transparent green detail for the lasers, the same has been fashioned for the ion engines, which before I did not know to include until Ramses25 mentioned thereof. Also, the connection to the wings has been altered to hinge locking plates. I am not sure if this is more so secure than the other elements, but I for one enjoy the modularity of disconnecting the wings and euphonious "click" they make when snapped into place, as well the ability handle the cockpit in the palm while examining it.

The Imperial tank is my favorite; always love me some plain LBG, and the DBG adds interesting variety!

He's even using your own photos, now that's priceless

Okay, I assume it worked out smoothly?

Ah, okay.

Just need to export it, but I will definitely handle it for you; I just need you to finish your model first.

The LDD file has to exported into a LDDraw format, then from BrickStock import the file, and make the corrections as I have mentioned. But, as it is your first time experiencing this, I have no problem handling this for you.

Good idea! I actually never studied the TIE Fighter when designing this, but how convenient it is that there is already space available for the detail where the 1 x 1 cheese slopes are placed—many thanks!

You can use BrickStock (works on Macs), I have used it several times to create a partlist of the wanted items for my projects, such as my own OT TIE Fighter. Though, word of advice when using BrickStock, the ID for some of the elements in LDD does not match some in BrickStock, so you will have to correct those confusions, but it is a simple task. Then there is also the occurrence of some elements from the LDD file being left out; mostly the relatively new elements, but the way I would handle this is to export the BOM of the LDD file, and then check off, as well make any necessary additions, one by one. Although if that seems too overwhelming of a task, I can accomplish it for you, by your request

Yeah, I will definitely have to design an TIE Advanced at some point.

Thank you Prime! The design of the stand is not originally mine, it is yellost. Though my revisions simplified, as well reinforced, the structure with less pieces, and enhanced the aesthetics by implementing tile elements on the base. Also to mention, the revised stand can now accommodate other air/spacecraft such as LEGO's X-wing sets. However, I have yet to manage implementing the ability to adjust the pivot as yellost did—that would be more easier for me to accomplish with physical bricks. Here his is original design:

Many thanks.

Hello everyone, I attempted to upload the BrickStock file for the convenience of whosoever will want to build this with ease, but EuroBricks is being restrictive on uploading the type of file "bsx" Does anyone know any Lego oriented sites where the file can be hosted there? Much appreciated!

I like the like the legs and how you interpreted the gap between them, though maybe a 1 x 4 tile on the outside of each leg would be nice to cover up those pin holes. I also think it would be comically interesting if you used the 1 x 1 round tile Mixel eyes

Well, most of the LEGO's licensed video games are notoriously known for featuring elements in non existing colors, and even elements and molds that never before have been produced, so there's LEGO contradicting your opinion(s) of their system! Though, I indeed understand and believe, from first hand experience, that building with existing colors, even more so with proper techniques, brings out creativity; in saying the constraints actually being beneficial!

Uhm, I think with the vibrant orange matched with the bluish light gray is a horrible combination (why I would never do it), but Doc's photography makes it less apparent to me

Many thanks! I have indeed seen your MOC, and have not considered the macaroni bricks until now! However, upon implementing, the elements create an unsightly contrast with the surrounding bricks, as they are not curved. Though, it might be less apparent with outside of LDD I think I may make the cockpit taller too, for the top portion by one plate particularly, as it appears squashed compared to the bottom.

Much appreciated!

Apologies, as I did not bother show any detail of that connection, but I indeed have implemented the connection in question; exactly with use of clips. The single pin is of (6249), which is use to established the connection through the whole arm and its side of the cockpit.

So for an evening and a late night's work, I decided to make this TIE Fighter from modifying the body of Darth Vader's Tie Advance (75150) & the wings of the First Order Special Forces (75101) into what you see now. I believe I have done satisfactory work translating the ball shape into LEGO with brick elements, and, refining the design of the wing with less studs and pieces whilst maintaining the sturdy structure, as well a strong connection to the body—have a look! Many thanks for taking the time to check this out, and I appreciate any comments you have! Outside wing detail Left side ball detail Inside wing detail Backside detail Topside detail TIE Fighter on tripod stand Offered below is the LDD file, and the BrickStock part list. The LDD file consists the model, grouped into sub-assemblies and separated into sections, with functioning instructions for building convenience. Despite what many users commonly experienced, accomplishing a working generated guide is manageable through grouping the model into sub-assemblies, otherwise the program will falter and fail to generate the building steps properly. Though oddly as well, the program cannot process various connections properly, resulting in model being separated into the sections as shown. These difficulties can be noticed when the program chokes at some point of the process bar, then begins to skip around—this model experiences this in a certain area. The difficulty in particular occurs around the steps for assembling the arms, which will anchor the wings, but this is the only error in the guide and small enough to pass over without frustration . However if you are not convinced enough of how decent it works, try the file yourself, the model still should be grouped in sub-assemblies when opened . lilme_tie_fighter.lxf
