TIE Tank

Love to see some pics of it when your done

I too would love to see some pics of it while you build it and when your done. What do you have in mind? How will you display it?

Ha! I'd never heard of this before, so I did a little web surfing -- just check this out!

What a great idea! One thing, though. I think the secret reason the Empire fell wasn't the derring do of Luke and Leia and Han and all those guys -- it was because the Empire didn't realize that the front facing of its armoured vehicles shouldn't be plexiglas!

I ran into a slight problem, the two TIE Interceptor kits I had were already built. One was built stock, the other was kit bashed along with the Estes Darth Vader TIE Fighter rocket kit to make a model of the TIE Advanced.

Not to worry, my local hobby shop had a gold plated TIE Interceptor (at a collector price though). The required parts are currently soaking in a zip lock bag covered with Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the gold chrome.

I'll be able to start the kit tonight.
