My SS TIE Fighter

[swgeek]

Aaand done! I've finally finished my TIE-Fighter. There's a few parts that are wrong and driving me nuts but I'll have to learn to live with the mistakes.

I want to say a big thank you to Tsophika, dirtydave, joewhite, Govner, Alonzo Fonzo, monsieur tox and Beaz for all the help you guys have given me over the years! I'm sorry if I missed anybody. Also, thank you to the original TIE detectves, the ones who figured out most of the parts and did all the hard work to figure this stuff out. Thank you, without everybody before me and everybody who directly helped me, my TIE-Fighter would not have happened.

So on with the pics. Sorry these aren't better quality, I just have my phone. Also, it's funny how light the paint looks in most of these photos. It looks a lot different in person.

[joewhite]

F-in A, man!!!! Looks badass!

 

[Scott Graham]

Incredible work! Can you tell which colors you used for the cockpit frame and the lighter gray details please?

 

[joberg]

You really nailed that classic iconic look swgeek

 

[kh39]

Your Tie Fighter looks fabulous! I really like the ILM style stand too!

 

[swgeek]

Thanks everybody!

Scott Graham for the cockpit and window frame I used Archive X Lark Light Grey, for the lighter grey pieces I used a 60/40 mix of Archive X Dark Reefer Grey and Light Reefer Grey and the blue is a custom mix I had color matched to an ILM built TIE-Fighter I had access to.

[Bjorn]

Kinda sad to see this one finished Jonathan. Have enjoyed the slow methodical approach to your build. And the technical aspects of your patterning and mold making.

Congratulations on a job well done. The result is fantastic.

I especially love the lights!

 

[Jedifyfe]

And not a year too soon! Looks fantastic buddy!

 

[swgeek]

Thank you!

Thanks Brad! I just can't believe I finally finished it.

Bjorn, thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed the build. Hopefully you'll enjoy the next two projects. I'll start threads on them soon.

Great interview Jonathan!
Really nice to see some of your other work like the cutaway tie bomber. That was awesome.
