Fine Molds TIE Fighter #2 complete!

Glorbes,

That thing is way cool.  What scale is it?

Boba,

Round 2.  Put me down for an AMT Tie Interceptor.  Don't usually build the losers, but that thing is just too cool not to do.  Will be a special non-canon scheme.

Thanks, man!  It's 1:18 scale (or rather, it's scaled for the 3 3/4" Hasbro figures).

I'm really a TI...

Jep! I checked that from 501st database And I have recently wore as Obi-Wan

Haven't updated in a while...work, work, work...seems like that's all I do.  Anywho here's a new in progress update.  Wanted to experiment w/ some battle damage.  I'm anxious to see how it turns out once it's painted etc.  I like the melted effect the plastic (obviously) creates, seems appropriate for a laser blast...the thing I can't decide on is if I should add little fragmented pieces, wires....any thoughts?

Here's another update of what I've done...did some "research" on the center area of the T-Int wing and some say these are additional cannons, some say targeting sensors...I don't really care.  What annoyed me was the mold was blah.  Flat with two bumps, void of any real detail.  So...I carved out this area to give it some depth (like pics I've seen) and then will scratch the cannon/sensors.  (I just haven't done that part yet as this has been a little difficult, due to the small scale.)  

Still here and working on the A-wing... slowly... thanks to my job (stupid grown up responsibilities!!). I'll try to post some pics of the finished cockpit this weekend. Starting on the concussion missle racks and launchers now.

Here's the second of two custom color interceptors.

Hello!

 I was just given a headsup to this GB but it does prove I should "look around" more often.

Is it too late for me to ask to join in?

I'm currently working on two resin 1/72nd scale kits from Sovereign Replicas. One is a "Clone Wars" Y-Wing and the other is the "Tie Defender". Both are WIPS in the SW board right now and I expect to complete them before the GB deadline (I'd better!) and only started them within the past 2-4 weeks each.

Just let me know if I can "play too"?

Thanks

Thanks Boba.

 Should I try to make a lil "compilation" post of how they reached their current states?

Just LMK and sorry it took awhile for me to get back.

Ok well I am FINALLY getting to the ARC 170 I promised under my previous screen name.

Guess that is one reason I have never joined GB's before, I have too many other things going on to finish a GB.

Hi all! I tried to to light up the driods for the build but I would up messing it up! I had to buy another kit and I'll figure out how to make the eyes glow pink iwth paint instead. I just finished glueing and rescribing last night and will spray on some primer tonight.

Alrighty,

 Since I've currently got a 1/24th resin A-Wing on the bench- I'll bring it into this GB.

Here's a lil photo essay without text just to show progress.

UPDATE 11/11

 The two hull halves were joined.

After studying the studio filming mini I realized all the added 'detail' within the side weapons launcher was not present on studio-vs-kit? So I revised my plans and added styrene tubing instead which was sunk in place. Here, it's being roughed in.

As promised

IT IS DONE

 4438 I actually got back to the bench and out of the garage! Whoo Hoo! 

The promised ARC 170 with a scratchbuilt interior and custom markings of WWII descent.

Bow Down Kudos to anyone that can tell me what the markings on the left wingtip read. took 2nd at Gatorcon yesterday. Next is my 25mm West End Games Tusken, took 2nd at the R6 Regional in Little Rock. Following that is my Ghosts of Tattoine 'vaporators. 

I havent forgotten this GB.

Here is where I sit with it right now. Got a lot of work yet. Soon as I finish my nearly done ME163Komet for the Endgame 1946 GB, I will be concentrating my efforts on the AT-AT.

Nice to see you back at the bench 4019.Great looking builds.Post 'em on the JRS forum.

As for that wing tip,I could only find the first character.It's definately an 'S'.Don't know about the other.

Well I'm finally done with most of the painting. I just need to add some black to the guns, spray on some future and then a quick wash.

I sprayed the base with white and red. I'll spray on some future then hit it with enamel black and wipe done the raised letters with some mineral spirits.

Well I've been able to make some more progress. I should be done by Monday! Here are some moe WIP pics.

After I sprayed the future on the base and let it dry for a couple days I shot some MM gun metal enamel then soaked some cotton swabs in mineral spirits to wipe it off the raised lettering. I'm happy with the way it came out.

I shot the eyes with white then somehot magenta to make it look as if they are lit up

It is done! Here are the final shots and I can finally scratch this build off my list!
