mijob's TIE Phantom

[thegreek270]

Hello all,

here we go to the cockpit nose window.
I prepared all the necessary parts and glued them together according to mijobs instructions.









temporary put on the cockpit to see how it fits



aligned and finally glued







The cockpit is done with all its greebles, ready to attache to the main ship.



Still missing the Hyperdrives







and the cockpit laser guns







That's it for now,

next will follow some small Greeble parts and the final assembly of everything.

Thank you

 

[mijob]

This is spot on and very 3c. You are doing a great job.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You are making GREAT PROGRESS on this project! Everything looks very clean, clear and crisp.

Hello again,

thank you mijob and Rhaven Blaack

as promised some small greeble parts and the final assembly.

Mijob's templates suggest a multilayered paper pipe between the cockpit ring and the cloaking device.
I tried a different aproach. I used some yarn, wire, paper tube and some smaller paper pieces.
Here is my Version.



cut into tree pieces and a piece of wire inserted (to keep the form later)



The paper tube



Split into 6 pieces (one for each end)



Yarn Painted with marker, small pipes edge painted.



Small Tube slides over each end of the yarn and excess trimmed



At this point i could just install them but i did not realize that their position is right under the wings.
This made the drilling of the holes for the wire difficult.
I did not want to brake ore damage anything (i had the cockpit already in place) so i got rid of the wires.



and this is the result, these went directly to their positions



I also used wires instead of the suggested paper pipes.



Gluing Process.



That is all for the preparations. I glued everything into place and finalized the model.

coming up next, the finished Phantom.

thank you

I enjoyed this build. It's my first TIE (but not my last, just waiting for mijob to design the Andor TIE )
I learned a lot on the way and had a lot of fun.

Thank you for the company on this journey and i hope to see you on the next one.

Thank you

You done a FANTASTIC job on this model! I concur with Rhaven that your work had clean, crisp, cuts. Thanks for sharing your marvelous work with us!

 

[zathros]

Excellent build. The individual parts were cut with such care. The finish model could only be excellent looking at the perfect parts that make it up.

 

[Toutenkarton]

a perfect construction and result

 

[Revell-Fan]

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

 

[spaceagent-9]

Excellent!!!! A scifi version of the 'Layering video' Rhaven Blaack posted! Always impressed by your work.

mijob ,​

You made a beautiful model, it came out fantastic. Now, another member was able to follow your directions and produce another model.

Congratulations, you designed a fantastic model, built it, and did such a good job, an excellent builder, thegreek270
was able to reproduce your work, from your file, and build thread, and make another fantastic model That's just freakin' awesome!!

 

[mijob]

Thank you Zathros for your kind words its a honor for every designer when your model is build.

Greek did a fantastic job and his addons are great.

 

[thegreek270]

Hello again,

thank you all for your kind words.

I'm glad that the template and building instruction are o.k.

Your templates and instructions where O.K. indeed. What ever changes i did on them where just because of my personal (illness in my head ) wishes.

And the Andor Tie is work in progress...

Can't wait to build that one, it's a too crazy interesting model to pass. So much potential for greebles and adaptions.

Thank you Rhaven Blaack, Chuffy70 and Sky Seeker,
your comments are very much appreciated.


Thank you Zathros and Toutenkarton,
I always try to get the parts as precise as possible even if that means i have to do some of them again (which i also did on this build )
Small differences in the early stages tend to add up into bigger visible problems later on.

Thank you Revell-Fan and spaceagent-9 ( i hope there will be more "layered Work" following soon )

Thank you so much zathros and mijob.

@mijob You don't carry the Titel "TIE Designer" by mistake SIR, you honestly deserve it for all your Designs you did and probably will do in the future.



The presentation of the phantom on a jar does not look very nice so i am in the process of 'designing' a nice stand for it.
Temporary i placed it on a very simple one to keep it safe from any damage.



That should do for now.
I will be back very soon with updates on the Base.

Thank you

 

[zathros]

What a beauty!!

 

[thegreek270]

Hello again,

thank you Zathros, that's very kind of you.

As already announced, here is a little update on that base I'm working on (I'm very busy these days ).



It's far away from being the final result.
What do you think about the concept having the ship "hovering" above ground ?



Will update soon.

Thank you

 

[mijob]

That looks awesome great idea.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I like what you have thus far!. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
