AWESOME.I have a ?,how will you mold it since it"s not a 2 piece like the Nicen master?

Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

It will be a 2 pieces hull :) however it would have been easier and time saver to mold and (roto)cast it as a single piece around the armature, I don't know why they did not do that !

Julien,

This is just perfect looking!

I know it's early in the build, but what paint/color will you be using? Tamiya TS-32 Haze Grey?

Mike.

Hi Julien.

First off, let me say what a beautiful job. Just beautiful. Flawless craftsmanship. I've been following this thread from the beginning, but I have to ask. I noticed that you used Plastruct (or EMA) spheres for the cockpit master. I had thought that the TIE master hull fell in between 5' and 5.125' and required it to be vacuformed to have the kit parts sit in the correct location. Maybe I missed something along the way (very, very possible). What size were your spheres Julien? Thanks.

Way more visible with the dye, J. It's the combo of a flash and the white resin that kills the detail

Looks great!!
 
Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

Thanks Matt,

Still not as good than it is in person :( I will try to get some pics without flash and under the sunlight (if there is any) tomorrow !
 
Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

I'm not even surprised anymore. I just expect spectacular work from you all the time! Awesome TIE Julien!

Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

I'm starting to think Julien worked for ILM in a past life. He's setting the bar higher and higher with every build.
 
Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

Setting the bar higher pushes us to always strive for perfection...then again, with Mr.Tox, perfection is not far from being achieved:cool
 
Re: Studio Scale TIE Fighter - Take 2

I just want to know where you find time Julien. I know setting you're mind and all that jazz but seriously! Lol!
