I personally prefer owning the physical media. I don't paying for streaming either. I've sent you a P.M.

Agree I like the physical media as well. Also, streaming access changes may too much. What's available today is gone tomorrow or is available on a streaming service you have to pay for. While D+ has some interesting programs from time to time it's not like the old D back in the day which had a lot more quality programming and more family friendly - just an opinion.
Thank you for your kind words.Nice work as always!
Well done clean cuts!
Some progress on the top side.
It looks a bit to big to me so I have to work on that. The black line is what I'm thinking of.

This TIE has a much larger habitable volume. no spoilers, but they show at least 3 people in seats. Great work so far.
Hello mijob,
i have to disagree, i think it is the right size, if not still too small ?
Compare the proportions of the front window to the rest of the body.

Thank you for your respince. The front of the hatch looks like the size of the standard tie hatch and I thought the rear side is a bit bigger. So looking clooser to the images I realized I'm making a mistake.
Im working with some 3d printed models and I thought to make the hatch and the rear windows as a combined part. Looking closer at it I have to see them as seperate parts. So there is a kind of hatch looking thing at the top.
And the rear windows are part of the hull in this case it looks like a part of a sphere. I will look into that. And the good thing is by removing the hatch you can see the interior.
Interesting progress, great to see how you go about your design issues
It's something else then the straight forward tie builds. Like the maurauder this is a lovely challenge.
Folks, please keep in mind that @mijob does all of his design work without a 3D program. Every creation of him is done the "old" way, just brains and a lot of maths! This makes his models so special.
This keeps my old brain running or spinning.
@mijob You are indeed a MASTER DESIGNER!
Well thank you so much for your kind words.

Nothing wrong with using 3D but I find when doing models the "Old fashioned" way, one tends to find mistakes quicker, as you are not relying on some on the automatic features of CAD programs that create errors when unfolding. I love making ship hulls. I can do it with Rhino, but I also can make the with a ruler, compass, some French Curves, and good pencils.
The best rubber band full cabin rubber band powered planes I have made with using the tried and true method. I lost the nicest one I made to Long Island Sound, when the wind took it out to sea, it was at around 500 hundred feet in the air, and it disappeared, long out of rubber band power, it was gliding. The only consolation was the applause of the 20 or so people who watched it disappeared (I think they thought I did it on purpose).

Very awesome. We have another beautiful model being born from Mijob's brain!
Thanks a lot all your words are very encouraging and gives me a lot of energy.
