TIE VIP Shuttle

[DSNME]

This is my interpretation of Captain Needas TIE VIP Shuttle.
It is very similar to the TIE Bomber but instead of a bombing barrel it has a passenger/lounge barrel for the officers.

The ship can barely be seen in episode V. And there is basically no reference material available for this ship. So it gives plenty of room for creative freedom.
But I didn't go too crazy. Since I'm an engineer I took an engineering approach to "develop" this ship. So, a manufacturer wouldn't do a complete overhaul of the design but rather use what already exists and only make necessary changes.

I 3D-printed and built this one in 1/72 scale, to fit with the rest of my collection.

I love this! You don’t get a great look at that ship in the movie, so lots of interpretations. I gotta say this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Fantastic job!

That's awesome! I love the additions you've made! The TIE/ln engine parts, the window on the front of the passenger pod, and the extra connection between the pods are really clever!
