So a update from my tie project.

The mess that I make during the day......


Oops that is not fitted like it suposed to be.
Had to make a new ring the original ring didn't fit any more.

LIike revell I used also blister package for the windows.
Also I had to make a new ring otherwise the lid didn't fit correctly.


For a first time not to bad at all I supose.

And the last results from today.
Prepairing the small parts to be glued.

Handy to have a egg cup to install the small details.

And here are the details installed.

Great job so far. I haven't had the curage to try a model by Uhu02 yet.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Making a smooth sphere out of flat paper is quite a challenge. You are doing a great job so far, mijob! I can imagine how difficult this is; the ball is only 56% the size of the one I assembled and has a lot more petals. Don't give up. Once you know how the parts go together you can use this knowledge for future builds - which will turn out even better.

Today I worked on the wing suport.
I used a AAA battery to rolup the suport..

I used a big pen to glue and fit the details on it.

 

[mijob]

Then I glueed the suport on the sphere.
I couldn't use the suport from UHU so I had to use something else. (Beware of the mouse)

And finaly it begins to look like a TIE!!!


Tomorow more details will be added.
And then its wing time with afcourse more details.

 

[micahrogers]

I also use a lot of things i have handy to help shape, and/or hold parts while the glue dries. Looking good so far. thumbsup

 

[mijob]

Yeah sometimes you have to think like MacGyver.

 

[Revell-Fan]

INDEED!

Great to see the mouse in your house! She's very famous here in Germany.

 

[zathros]

You may have obtained a perfect seamless sphere, but your consistently in technique makes the model a complete success.

 

[mijob]

Thank's for all your compluments. thumbsup

This is a bit off topic but I wanted to share this with you all.

Tie Interceptor ~ By William Hayden - The Fiber Optic Store

William Hayden’s photos guide us thru how he incorporated single strand fiber optic filament into his impeccable build of the 1/72 Fine Molds Tie Interceptor ~ Remote Interceptor Base Lima. William: I built this project for a Star Wars group build last year. It took over 100 hours to build...

Last 3 day's it was hard working on cutting and glueing the details.
Its a lot of work but also verry relaxing.
Here are some pics.





Tomorow I will start with the wings and solar panels.

 

[Revell-Fan]

All the little detail makes it pop!

 

[micahrogers]

Holy Frak... That is looking GREAT.

 

[zathros]

Excellent!!

Today I build the two wing's no details yet.
I hope to fit them this evening or tomorow.
