Alonzo, Looking great!
Have a question: Is that the hard/impossible to find Koolshade, or one that can actually be ordered from somewhere? I need some for a few spots here and there on some models, and it doesn't have to be super accurate. If it is a more readily available place, would you mind sharing the source?

First entry on Google with the keyword "Koolshade" : http://www.koolshade.eu/index.php/en/ This is the official Koolshade website, hope that helps.
Oh. I thought that link was to the manufacturer's website, as in, "Hey, we'll sell you bulk orders for commercial use. Oh, you want just a couple of yards? **** off."
What I was hoping for was more info on where to find some in a "hobbyist" amount
Searching the forums turns up threads half a decade old.

Yes but they can send you a sample, your post let think you need a small amount. But Im pretty sure you can find local resellers on Google, that would surprising if you could not, I know there's one in the UK and one in France so there's probably one in the US.

Not really an update but nonetheless a fun picture from the Star Wars Identities Exhibition here in Vienna:
The color TS-32 looks really light grey in direct light

After a "short" break I am back working on my TIE.
The top hatch:
Only a little cleanup work needed to finally finish it
Some pictures from the construction, I needed a few tries to get it close enough to the original

Nice job on the hatch!
From a distance the original TIE models look so simple, but up close they are really quite complicated. By being as close the the original as you can possibly be, your build so-far truly captures the essence of the thing itself, IMO.
