TIE Bomber - LeeS - 05-18-2014 Finally finished the TIE Bomber (my first Star Wars studio scale). It's a fun little piece, but far more work than it appears. Happy it's done I added a cockpit from parts in the DV-TIE kit, nothing fancy as it's hard to see. There's a couple of mistakes, but it's close :-) Couldn't get 2" tube so I skinned what I could with styrene. That allowed me to pre-scribe some of the lines. Also I went a little different with the radial grooves by using strips of styrene in a cutout. I think I got the colour about right as it photos almost grey. It's a little lighter and a little bluer than Haze grey. I'd tweaked the colour in the pictures here to look close to how it is in person. Thanks to Weili Pan, Joe White, sjanish, Niels Frederiksen, Jason Eaton and many on the RPF for the help! RE: TIE Bomber - Wombat - 05-19-2014 That thing is sharp!! Beautiful job once again, Lee. RE: TIE Bomber - Red III - 05-19-2014 Beautiful Work! RE: TIE Bomber - JAWS - 05-19-2014 Nice & clean Lee. Very niiice. RE: TIE Bomber - LeeS - 05-19-2014 Thanks all! :-) RE: TIE Bomber - kbilly - 05-19-2014 Excellent work, looks fantastic RE: TIE Bomber - JAWS - 05-20-2014 With Joe's Bay Dome looks like the Bomber is in the running for my first fully completed studio replica... RE: TIE Bomber - darkimmitator - 05-20-2014 Incredible build . As mentioned above , very clean and very sharp . Well done Lee ! RE: TIE Bomber - LeeS - 05-21-2014 I used Joe's 'cheater' piece too :-) RE: TIE Bomber - JAWS - 05-21-2014 Hey whatever gets them done. I screwed up 2 trying to get it right. So I'm glad Joe offered it. RE: TIE Bomber - Tsophika - 05-30-2014 Your choice of blue paint looks really close to the miniature. I've seen some great builds that go a bit too into the deep blue range. Someday I'll finish mine, I swear! I've only had the parts for... 4 years now? RE: TIE Bomber - LeeS - 06-23-2014 It took three goes to get it how I wanted :-) Just enough blue, just dark enough, and it works.
