While waiting on the printing of the Tie Striker template I started a new project.
Its the Tie Bomber. I can use some parts or modifie those from the Tie striker and the Tie advanced.

Big diference between the bomber and other Tie's is the interior. I need to make a new one. Also I wanted to make a bomb bay and try to
make a ion engine. So there are a lot of challanges. Keep an eye on this thread

YAY! THAT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!! :)

One very imporant note:

The TIE bomber was not based on the regular TIE fighter filming model. ILM took the mpc Darth Vader TIE-X1 model as a base, meaning the studio model was a bit smaller than the others AND (the most important aspect): the detailing is different. So please take a careful look at those two models:



One of the most obvious differences are the wings. They are completely ported over from the mpc with an additional styrene strip on the top and the bottom. So even the clamp on the side is different.
