Tie Fighter update Sabine Wren

[mijob]

A few years ago I started my second project designing wings for the UHU sphere to create a Tie Fighter. A few years later I designed my own sphere and updated the details. Below the link to my first Tie Fighter.

Thread 'Tie Fighter wings for UHU sphere'

Aug 16, 2020

Hello all,

I want to make different Tie starship's with the same sphere.
In this case I want to use the sphere from UHU.
I like UHU style because of the fine details and all of the breebies.

The first one I want to build is the TIE fighter.
So the biggest challenge I gone have is to create a pair off wing in UHU interceptor style.
Also this is a good way for me to work with sketchup.

The first thing I did was to find the right dimensions for the wing in combination with the sphere.
There are different dimensions on the internet about the real size off the TIE Fighter.
I will work...

So on my list there is still a note to update this fighter. A few weeks ago @will69 send me a message to ask if he could use my design to recoller the Fighter in Sabine Wren style. I liked that idea so I started to update my Fighter files. Lucky for me I have lost the original files and had to redesign them.

This weekend I finished the Fighter templates and thought to recouler some parts for Will to get a head start. It was not that much work so I offered Will to give him a bit of help to completely recolor it.

So thanks to Will you all can follow the progress on the Sabine Wren Tie Fighter in this thread.

For those who never seen the Tie Fighter from Sabine I show you a picture.

This is also the picture that I use for reference.

I think that a "Sabine Wren" style Tie Fighter would make for a great addition to the collection!
Thank you (in advance) for this!

 

[will69]

Well, with my humble knowledge in recolouring, it would have taken ages och eons to finish this. Glad that you wanted to finish it. I am not near the knowledge you and others here on zealot have

First parts done or work in progress.
Here you can see the hatch.

And the inside of the wing more work needs tobe done.

Oh WOW Love it.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I am looking forward to seeing how this will turn out!

 

[mijob]

Thank you Micah and RF for your kind words.

After several hours work I have finished a lot off parts. First I can show you the sphere.

Some parts will be added after gluing the sphere. I call them paper decals from now on.

 

[mijob]

And the first wing finished.

Now I'm working on the rear engine and the fuel hatch. The fuel hatch is tricky to align the phoenix.

Omg I am about to faint... Nice work with the repaint

Thanks guys, its fun to design with all the different colors and decals.

 

[Chuffy70]

Another great choice of Tie Fighter, and a good prompt to watch 'Rebels' again

 

[mijob]

O boy check this out I hope that the alignment is oke after assembling.

 

[Revell-Fan]

It doesn't look too bad!

 

[Chuffy70]
