Anyone have any interesting stand ideas?

I am not a fan of anything that needs a hole in the model.

What about a hanging rack like the "real" Tie is supposed to be stored in?

That would be cool, anyone have some pics of such a critter?


Or how about this?.. LOL

There was a matte painting done for RotJ when an Imperial Shuttle arrives at the Deathstar II. It's in the foreground. I noticed it when I do that film on Laserdisc after 100 viewings of the pan and scan videotape.

Well that settles it.
Just gotta build an entire hanger bay!

It arrives!
Hope everyone else on the list gets theirs soon.

Looking at how crisp the detail is, this is the best so far. If I didn't know better I'd say Steve is using injection molding for this kit.

As much as I would like to start on this kit I must resist. I have an AT-ST to finish first.

Anyone have a hull color match recipe?

I have read that Pactra Stormy Sea Blue (no longer made) was used back in the day.

Re: STUDIO SCALE TIE FIGHTER **UPDATED PICS**

Arrived today.

Minimal cleanup will be needed, no air bubbles I can find.

Re: STUDIO SCALE TIE FIGHTER **UPDATED PICS**

I think this fellow might have nailed the color....

http://www.starwarsmodeling.nl/starwars/tieinterceptor.asp

"I created a mixture of Tamiya Medium Grey (colour number 81720) and Tamiya Medium Blue (colour number 81718) to get a blue-grey-ish tone to use on the cockpit and wings."



By the way, which wing edges do the styrene strips go on?

 

[Boba Flint]

Re: STUDIO SCALE TIE FIGHTER **UPDATED PICS**

I think the strips go all around the wing edge.
