Another TIE-Bomber - KrokoHunter - 07-13-2010
I've finally gotten back to this project, after a year of standstill, due to problems with the circumventing panellines. These problems has finally been resolved, and I'm finally progressing on this project
It started as this

I've added some parts to the pile since then, and I still need parts from roughly 10 donorkits (3-4 different kits, that is.. just a lot of duplicates)
This is where I am now

stay tuned

NICE! So how did you do the circular scribing? It may help others such as myself...

Hey Jase
A friend of me, helped me with a mini-lathe setup, so we lathed the panellines

Nice start.
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - erospawn - 07-14-2010
You can get a decent mini-lathe at Lowes or Home Depot for about 100 bucks.. great tools for the hobbiest

I decided to leave out the PoV part, since it seems, that the part wasn't on the model during shooting, but was added at a later restoration .. so for now it's no PoV part .... but who knows .. I might chance my mind
(sorry about the imagequality ... just a couple of quick shots with the phone )

Slowly taking shape

Looking good !
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - dbhs - 09-04-2010
Any updates?
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - KrokoHunter - 09-10-2010
Sorry no updates ... had a minor setback, since my ordered M3 Lee never showed up in the mail ....
But I'll get back to the project soon
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - 427 Cobra - 09-10-2010
I hope you can get your money back! If you used paypal - you can reverse the charges.

RE: Another TIE-Bomber - JAWS - 09-11-2010
If you ordered it from Canada it could take months to arive. They still deliver by horse I think
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - Hammer3246 - 12-31-2010
BUMP..if you need Lee parts, I can send you some casts.
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - Hammer3246 - 03-07-2011
Well, did you give up on this bitch or what?
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - KrokoHunter - 03-07-2011
Hey guys
Thanks for our kind interest.
The project has been on a minor hold for a couple of months now ... but a month from now, I'm going to the biggest hobby fair in Europe .... I really hope to get my hands on the remaining donorkits for the Bomber (plus some for the Cylon Tanker and Prison Barge) there .. including that darn Lee.
And thanks for all you kind offers to get me castings ... but to my knowledge, the Lee was also used on one or more BSG models .. so I might as well get the kit
RE: Another TIE-Bomber - Hammer3246 - 03-09-2011
Good to hear, I thought maybe you passed on.
