my POF 12 ich TIE Fighter Pilot stop motion figures

[Trap Joe]

As one of the last ones of my 300 "Powerplay Of Forces" figures, I made 4 TIE Fighter Pilots 2 heroes and 2 background figures that I finished February 1995.
This is how they finally looked:

Since the TIE Pilots´s second generation had been one of the last figures I did for the movie, I took some documentary photos of the making of. Yes it has been expencise to make photos, back then, because they have all been paper photos. Therefore I made these in black and white, because I could develop them myself in the darkroom, when I was a Graphic design student.


Since there hasn´t been much reference material, nor a good freeze frame on a video tape, I had to make sketches of special details, first.

That picture shows a faceplate I used and the helmet mould I casted in styrene,

Thank you frosty.:love

with the addition of cool little found parts for greebles, it wasn´t too difficult. But when I see the references I have today, it would look a lot more authentic.

Its just great, that you documented all your work in early age!
I think most members here didn't even think of taking pics of their 'teenage builds'.

Very foresighted (and good for us today)!!! :lol

Hi Stilgar. Thank you a lot. I love the word `teenie builds`:lol. Yep, it´s exactly what it is. BTW. I would be very interested to see other´s teenie builds from over here, to see the evolution of you talented guiz . I noticed over the years that the quality of fan made Star Wars things got better and better, until it reached a level that´s really is amazing to watch, today.
To make photos was really expensive to make theses days. I took around three 36 paper pictures a week, but I thought this would be a nice remembrances, which they really became.
