Jonathan your Tie is looking GREAT.

 

[joberg]

Nice and clean...love it

 

[swgeek]

Thanks guys!
Finished another part today on my breaks.

 

[skahtul]

Looking great! I really enjoy watching this come together. My favorite part about models built this way is the sharpness of all the lines, it just can not be beat!

 

[swgeek]

Thank you.
Hopefully not too sharp. I'm trying to match all the wonkiness of the original model.

 

[joberg]

Very nice!

 

[Star Lord]

Just found this thread. Fantastic work. Well done!

 

[Millenniumf]

Thank you.

Man you're totally nailing that! I looked at the CAD drawing you made and was like, "WTF? It's not symmetrical..." But then when you showed the final hatch part I would have sworn it was an original ILM part!

 

[swgeek]

Thanks everybody!
Millenniumf, yeah these ANH Star Wars models are pretty uneaven and irregular but I find when they are cleaned up too much and made symmetrical they just don't look right.

 

[swgeek]

Alright RPF, I need your help...again.

I can't figure out part #12 in this picture. Anybody have some good info? Thanks in advance.

 

[Hammer3246]

Could it be from the Sealab?

 

[swgeek]

No, the part on the dash is only 1/4"ish. The sealab part is inch and a half, two inches.

 

[swgeek]

Finished up the dash. It's not 100% correct and I might go back in and tweak a few things but for now...

 

[darthjord]

wow. just pure awesomeness. really admiring your work.

 

[IzzyMel]

Love it. Helps me with my 1/6 Tie Fighter project. Great work

 

[swgeek]

Thank you!
1/6 scale? Yikes! 1/24 is a big enough pain for me.

 

[IzzyMel]

Thanks. Here is a quick pic.
