Yes problem solved I found a way to cut and glue the small parts.

The two left parts are my first attempt the one at the right how it should be. It lifts the part to another level. I have to make 80 pieces not that much. For sure I will make some spare.

Sorry, my Ant-Man suit was stolen last year. Sadly, the insurance company is disputing my claim.

Well, well, my friend..!

The suit gets stolen and in just the same moment "someone" is able to glue these small parts together, someone who claimed not to be able to do so just a few moments ago?

Watson, I think the game is afoot..!

A lovely 'inner wing' looks as if some poor truck had to give up its suspension unit there!

Hope you are feeling better too?
Thank you Chuffy, the suspension is made from normal size A4 paper I rolled it and add extra layers. I have to improve the second one.

Yes indeed you are right thats how we gone called it in the building instruction "wing suspension unit".
So if the TIE fighter follows a rocky road the wings will wobble but not fall off. Intriguing design. The Empire knows what it's doing. ;):biggrin:

Thanks to my pneumonia my progress is slowed down. This is the progress from the last few days.
Outher wing energy grid arms.

The red circled area needs some extra attention the centre part of the grid arm is missing. Its the same design from Lord Vaders Tie so how could I missed that one.
