Hello all,

I will start soon with the building of the Tie advanced X1 aka Darth Vader's Tie Fighter.
The template contains 14 pages.

I'm not able to upload any pictures so I will try it later this day.
Only 60 kB so it has to work.

And today's update with the disc.

And the inner supports fitted on the disc.

The completed disc.
If the sphere is perfectly mounted it will fit like a glove.
On my model I need to make some adjustments on the disc.
I will do that when I'm at home there I got the correct tools.
So no picture of the disc on the sphere yet. Don't worry I will show it to you.

Next I will be working on the wing's.

Last few days I was working in the garden building an outside kitchen. Because of the rain I was able to build some parts for the X1.
The parts to be cut out.
