Basic configuration. I'm still working on casting and making few more parts to fill the voids.

Just to let you know after seeing what you've done wit this thread I was motivated and picked up one of these off eBay... it might not be exactly studio scale buts its still damn cool.

Right on. What are your plans for the bird?

This.Is.Awesome.

Thank you.

Worked on the layout configuration last knight guys, now it looks so much better.

My plans... well I don't really have one yet since its still in the mail coming to me. That being said I think I'll greeblie up the main body similar to a standard TIE. As for the wings - I'll definitely clip that little "landing" bit off the corner. I probably won't be slavish to the studio scale model but I'll try to greeblie with similarly shaped bits, so that it looks the part then give it a good paintjob and weathering... maybe hit up moffeaton for some of those cool tie decals he had at one point... Nothing crazy But a good studio scale TIE parts list would be helpful

You're going to have so much fun converting your Tie interceptor. I hand made a lot of the parts. but I'll be more than glad to put together a list of all the greeblies that I use for the build.

Greeblies central for sure. Eager to see it all painted!

I still need to fix a few things. but hopefully soon.
 
In with another wing update. Sorry for such a terrible picture angle :ninja guys. But I was trying to show the full wing / greeblie configuration.

Ok guys I'm back with more updates. I finally had time to start priming and painting the interceptor.

Wings just before primer. Now lets hope I don't mess up the paint and weathering on the bird :lol
 
When ahead and started applying some weathering to the wings to give it that battle worn look

I don't think I have mentioned this before. but ever since I saw my fist tie interceptor I was so disappointed that they use one mold of greeblies for both wings. what do I mean with this is that the greeblies from one wing will always be upside down in reference to the other wing. so I took the liberty to fix their mistakes and make the right wing a mirror image of the left wing. No more upside down greeblies on my tie.

Looking good overall, but I find the weathering a bit too heavy. It just doesn't do justice to your amazing job at putting all of those greeblies together (my 2 cents;))
