Re: STUDIO SCALE TIE FIGHTER **UPDATED PICS**
Hey Steve, I need to make a Plastruct order today. In that order, I want to get the hemisphere halves and the cross-tube. What is the diameter of this tube, if you don't mind? What are the other Plastruct shapes I need to look out for? Also - is 15" even long enough for the cross tube?

And away we go! :lol Today I officially started, the ANH Tie is in the making! Nothing fancy yet just basic shapes and patterns. The wings are pretty monotonous, a lot of patterns to make for the cool-shade! The wings were cut from 1/8" PVC, CA glue loves this stuff!

Thanks guys!
It's been a LOOOONG time since I've been able to build anything. This afternoon I'm putting together a workshop. Y-wing is coming back out of storage (lots of parts to add), Tie is on its way, Salzo V3 is awaiting a machined armature, and the ANH ISD is being planned!

It's impossible, the finish at best will look like the Tie standard wings which has a solid look.

Do you mean the standard Neisen kit? It's fine... This will work for my purposes now. Just don't have enough $ to pay for enough koolshade to do a TIE. Especially since I want to make more than one. Later I will come back and construct one with real koolshade.

That material is undercut all over the place by its very nature, so you'll have to fill in the slats partially using clay. It could be tricky to mold. . .
The vertical "stripes" are really more like twisted ropes made of two pieces of thin wire. The slats are bronze metal strips woven into that wire.
