1:1 or 1/2 scale TIE Fighter plans

[Miranda Tempest]

This may be a long shot but I'm searching and scouring the web for anyone that may have access to full size TIE fighter stage prop plans.

I need to build this TIE fighter for an up coming event. I can pay for the plans of course. ANY help would be greatly appreciated pointing me in the right direction.

First Order TIE plans would be best but will take whatever I can get.

Thank you everyone!

building full size TIE fighter would be an engineering challenge, unless you have experiences with steel frame etc.
the wing panels are supposed to be about 20 feet tall.
There was full size First Order TIE displayed at Changi Airport along with full size T-70 X-Wing.
and there was full size TIE fighter built by fans from Germany, and also Full szie TIE interceptor built by Fans,
and Vader's TIE also, of varying qualities.

How about using a Bandai or FineMolds model for reference? At full size your're going to take a few short cuts with accuracy, anyways.

How about getting a good 3D model on google 3D Warehouse, opening it in SketchUp and finding measures there? You only need to scale it the way you want it to be.
You can also get .3ds model on "sci-fi 3D" and then import it in SketchUp...

I have seen those, spoke to the project X1 guys that built Vader's TIE and they won't even sell them. I have noticed that not a single TIE bomber was built and thinking I may go that route. I'm thinking I may be doing what TazMan2000 said and build off a large model for reference.

Anyone have access to ILM reference photos of the full size cockpit they built. I remember seeing black and white photos of shots of the cockpit being built, can't find them anywhere on the net anymore.

What do you guys think about a first order TIE bomber. I know we haven't seen one, yet. It's most likely that the First Order would have one. Its seems that the build would easier due the cylindrical shape of the fuselage instead of spending $800-$2000 on a large ball for the TIE fighter cockpit. I don't know but this discussion is helping to turn the wheels in my head.
