Scratchbuilt TIE Bomber Hanging in Rack

Thanks so much everyone! Can't wait to start on my next project.

Finally back in town and a friend of mine (thanks Cory) took some hi-res shots without all of the glare on the plexi case... :thumbsup

Enjoy! Off to Wonderfest... in like five hours... wish I could bring it along... :unsure
 
It was nice meeting you at WonderFest Kevin. I was the 501st Commander who started talking to you about your shirt at our table. Great job on the TIE Bomber display.
 
Glenn - great to meet you too... you guys had an awesome area and props. Great to meet everyone else, too. That was only my 2nd Wonderfest.

I have always wanted to do a variant of the picture in the cross-sections book of all the TIEs hanging/launching from the rack/gantry. I have a stack (like 10 boxes) of the AMT 1-48 double TIE set... have been avoiding masking/painting all of those wings so far... :confused Of course, I have a bunch of 1-72 FM TIEs now that are MUCH easier to paint, so I may have to rethink that project.

Of course, when speaking of hangars... there is the grail build on my list of a full (and lit) 1-48 Home One Rebel hangar... I have multiples of all of the core ships to work from in 1-48 and I read somewhere that the 1-48 Tydirium could be done using the Kenner toy as a base. I have started on one of my 1-48 Falcons and work on it SLOWLY from time to time. It would cool to build out the landing gear for it, too. With all the 1-72 out now, that build could be much easier accomplished in that scale... but 1-48 would just be so... insanely large of a dio (and allow extreme detailing).:love Will have to wait until I have a bigger house/workshop... and when I have a couple of years open to do that one!

I have plans for some rather large and (hopefully) unique dios in the coming years... I think I have them in a priority order now, but you never know... :wacko
 
Whoa, that's super cool
I love how the gantry and set are encompassed in the case
Sort a "slice of life"
Great idea
