TIE X1 ILM prototype

[Bondo Fett]

Has anyone seen another picture of this early version of Darth Vader's TIE fighter? I've only seen this one picture, from Star Wars Chronicles. I'm attempting my own build-up of this one and without any other references I'm just gonna wing it.

Was that a pun?:lol

Isn't there a rear view somewhere also? Off the top of my head I'd have said Chronicles for that too but I guess not.

Cool project. Always liked that version!

It'll be wingsy, no doubt about it. I'm using an old AMT TIE kit, and its pretty crudely cast, so hopefully I can whiz through it and not be too concerned about every little flaw. Anyway I mean for it to be a fast build (yeah, that'll happen). I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.

The last entry was almost 3 years ago. Has there been any progress on this build? I found a slightly clearer print of this same photo about 4 years ago and wanted to build it also.

I am new here and dont know if I can upload photos, or link to photos, but if you email me I can send the copy I have to you. Thanks.

I need to dig find and dig through my picture CD's. There are three views, the one shown, a rear view, and a rear/top view on one of them.

I would love to see those photos EXXOS, if you find them. Let me know please. Thank you.
