Surely the pilots were equipped with lead-lined underwear.Funny note - pilot is sitting on radioactive fuel tank, Empire enginers did not value pilot lives much.
New Tie advanced X1 papercraft model

An entertaining possibility is that the pilots were highly advanced droids, or, they were cyborgs more machine than human.Surely the pilots were equipped with lead-lined underwear.
I found theese two Tie advanced paper models if anyone is interested:

@bigptr yes I want to make a removeable hatch so you can see some inner parts below the pilot seating. Did you came accros somd better pictures?
Great. It will add something new and original. Eventhou I did not do this myself I like it a lot on models of others. On my X-wing build I did wings in permanent open atack position, because I knew I would never move with them anyway if I made them mooveable
, so it would be wasted effort and time to make them mooveable.This removeable hatch can be perfect for maintenance diorama.
It seems, based on a picture resolution, I have the same picture.
Maybee this book can help, there are chapters on tie-advanced, but I do not own it.
Update of some recoloring of the UHU sheet.
So back to this project.
I will work on the recoloring and reshaping of the sphere and I will start desining the wing's.
So keep an eye on this thread

Once built, you could round that Sphere with a Round edged tool, or a Ball Bearing on a shaft tool, forgot what it's called. 
What about using plastic balls, something like what @DanBKing did with his Discovery?Once built, you could round that Sphere with a Round edged tool, or a Ball Bearing on a shaft tool, forgot what it's called.
Yes, plastic balls works great. I did some test for my Tie-figter build and it looks great. Highly recomend.
Ball from the roller deodorant stick could be great for burnish tie balls. It has perfect size for it. I just dissect one from the empty stick

Here are some drawings of the outer wing.
Again this will be a layerd wing.
First base panel
Second base panel
Then the "solar base panel". You have to cut these out and glue them on the "second base panel"
And the "solar panels" will be glued on the "solar base panel".
Next I will draw the wing details and greebling.

Below you find some drawings of the wing reinforcemnt or power grid convertor.
The box will be 3 mm high 25 mm with en 10 mm long.
Some parts have to be follded
I will add the details after the first alpha build
