That is an excellent observation. Ill compare the sidewall depth of the toy to the MR later today. Curious how they will compare.
Actually the MR sidewalls are not that deep...

Thanks for the tip JPH, thats something to keep in mind.
Just a thought though,.....if you are using CA glue after the surface has been treated by Adhesion Aid & primer......do you think the issues would be sorted?
.....anyway heres the Revell TIE wing mould:

There are some details on the HSMF behind the engine vents that aren't on the 32" SS model as well, I'm chopping them out now.
I'm going to post some comp shots on the first thread this weekend so we can nail the easily changed little differences that may get forgotten about before everyone goes too far
Also I'm realizing that all of the sidewalls are to shallow. When the shapeways bits are added (if you are going that route) they will be way too proud.
New to this kind of thing... What exactly is the tie wing for?
Thanks for the comments guys,....spacebob,.....I dont think I'll do any mods to the Jawboxes,....they look ok to me,.....perhaps a bit too high towards the centre of the ship,.....
Does anyone know what part this is sourced from?

Toying with removing the few 5 foot parts
Thanks again

Nice one spacebob,.....yeah I'm pushing the sidewalls into the mandibles (see post 36),.....but I'm not gonna use the shapeways parts, also removing some of those details may leave a large gap on the details of the deck as the spacing of all the greeblies doesn't match exactly the filming model,.....there's parts I might move but not remove
I'm not gonna make this ship a replica of the 32" ship (the same way I haven't made my MPC Falcon a replica of the 5 foot), I'm trying to make it look, at a glance, identifyable as one or the other....well hopefully
Well on another thread JMChladek posted that he discovered that the Revell TIE Fighter (the large one) has the same pattern on its wings & the same scale that the Hero Falcon could use for the 6 engine vent covers on the rear deck,......so rather than distroying the model I made a mould
ILM used a material called Koolshade for both models

Looks like the 1:72 Dragon and Airfix Shermans (MK1, crab, and with LCM variations) are all promising. Airfix is definitely the cheaper option to go but the Dragon kits are always moulded superbly.
Kinda answered my own question but just throwing the info out for anyone who's interested!!
Yeah HH, just got the Airfix Crab Sherman for £5,.....gonna mould & cast for the back of that detail.......I actually bought the Sherman for a part in the wheel/track which is missing from Vader's TIE in MPC & Revell.....& also that BIG Revell TIE......so the £5 was well spent
