Hey all.
I acquired this model in trade recently. It was partial built, but i still had a fair bit of work to do to make it to my liking. Its an Icons hull casting, with hero style wing stars and Koolshade.
Many parts were removed and replaced to make it all a bit sharper, the hull underwent a lot of work to make good, and while its nowhere near as polished as a Tox TIE (the pinnacle of replicas IMO), its come up not too shabby.
Still needs some work to finish in the way of a bit more paint app, and decals, but for my first studio TIE, its a good step and allows me to continue my ANH Pyro Trilogy in the way of Red 3 and Gold 5 to flank it.
Anyhoo, a few pics of the progress as i was starting to play with the camera today as i want to shoot these three in a good light.
Paint is the usual Tamiya TS32, and Floquil Reefer grey, with Floquil weathered black used on the cockpit and canopy frame.
