Rogue one Tie Striker design thread

Use a rounded edge piecdce of stock to round out the petals, from the inside. As far as the seams, since it looks like your going to paint it, you could coat the nose in Crazy Glue, let it harden, then sand it smooth.

Thanks for your advice Zathros regarding the.petals. This will not be the final build its the alpha build. I will make a collored printable template.

Personally, I think a combination of petals, and conical shapes gives the best results. Conical shapes round out easier.

I think a lined one would be nice for those who may wish to build and paint the model. This would allow the use of fillers, and colors to give a different look than that the printing colored models have. IMHO

Started to work on the interior. I used two of UHU's Tie Interceptor. I need to make some modifications on them. I will do this on a later time. So this is the top view.

Front view.

Rear view.

I need make some litle adjustments but you get the idea. Now I can work on attaching the wings on the fyselage. And yes the wings will be moving (I hope...... ),

Thank you RF, I will not use it on the Tie Striker.

The way that is folded is causing the wings to stall at a very timed pressure increase interval. If the center were taped to form a spline, and the wings were hinged, and paper added as strips to form springs, this paper plane would really flap even more, and could be quite interesting to experiement with. I love paper planes, this is really a neat, simple, yet complex flying paper plane.

So here us my first attemt to make a hinge between the fuselage and the wing. here are some pictures.

I have to say I'm verry pleased with the end result. Next up part two to complete the hinge.

Thank you Zathros didn't want to mention it was a joint....

 

[micahrogers]

Face it man, you make some great joints...

And here you have some umages of the next part that belongs to the hinge.

Some litle modifications and this part is ready. Its a difficult part to design and build.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks GREAT!!!
