Size of Darth's Tie
Hi Guys, I wanted to know how big the SS Darth Tie is compared to the MPC version. Is it twice as big, or some fraction. Don't care about the scale. Thanks,
Joe |

Re: Size of Darth's Tie
If my math is correct the studio scale one should be about 1.5 times as large as the MPC version. 1:24 for the studio scale TIE and 1:36 for the MPC.

Re: Size of Darth's Tie
Weird. I was not aware that Vader wore a tie. I thought the Death Star was more or less Business Casual.

Re: Size of Darth's Tie
That's a rather personal question.

Re: Size of Darth's Tie
I thought Vader was sporting skinny TIEs by 1980...
As for the studio scale miniature in the first movie, the model builders started with a standard TIE cockpit ball and started building new from the arms out. As an indication of scale, they included a copy of the standard issue ILM pilot, which was also used in the standard TIEs and X-Wings, and was a copy of the Airfix 1/24 Harrier pilot with some Airfix 1/24 Me-109 pilot arms grafted on. In other words, the original studio scale miniature was intended to be approximately 1/24 scale. I don't know what scale the MPC kit was supposed to be, but I bet if you ask at the Starship Modeler forums someone there will know. |
