    I really need to get a better camera, Actually the TIE fighter is TAN! and the weathering that I plan on using is brownish like 'Perforated'. So since I was going to have all those earth tones I figured a stained base would match. - I am still hoping that! My desk is a dark stained wood so I want it to match. (actually its an old dinning room table :hehe: ) If I have to I'll go with something else, then I think that a clear plexi base might work.

    Well anyway, we'll soon see.....

    Here are a few more production shots

    These two pic's show the outline on the window and some two-tone detailing on top of the ship. You can also sort of see the antenna that I made. Plus a little oops on the top hatch...

    I am now working on the two front openings and in designing some artwork for the top and sides of the ship. I am going with a heldric design with some lettering. I will paint the design and lettering just as I did on my 'Perforated' mod. I guarantee that a TIE fighter has never been painted this way. Hope the Star Wars Geek Squad doesn’t mind to much. :D

    Along similar lines, why not make one of these as your actual PC for this thing to plug into.

    *EDIT* Check out the comics section for a laff.

    Very nice mod Budda. Your attention to detail is astonishing to say the least. Will you have it done in time for the Episode III premier????

    funny guys....

    work got a little crazy as it does sometimes. I will be back on track in a day or so. I am actually using the tie fighter right now! Currnetly I am working on the stencils for the paint job (like I used in my Perforated mod). So I really plan on finishing it this weekend.

    p.s. - I like the new look bit-tech! :rock:
