Hi, it's been a while since I posted, so here I am to show you a new little known model.

It is nothing more and nothing less than the model of the tie rapotor, this model of tie only appears in the novels, and it was hard for me to find its papercraft.

prints it on A4 sheet of 180 grams cardboard type

I started with the part of the model's cabin, this is the one that requires the most work since it is the one that has the most doubles to do.
As you can see, I had an error when cutting, so I added separate tabs.
this is necessary to be able to close the model, even though those tabs are not in the original model.

when making the sphere you have to be careful and patient so that it fits as in the photos

Follow the cut with the windshield of the ship which we must put tabs to glue the parts.
and the back part we removed the tabs.

I can't tell the difference between these things, but you did a realyl nice job on that sphere. If you could find the right size ball, you could dampen that with water, and form it into a sphere, it would have to be Pigment Ink, as Dye inks runs when wet. ;)

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Now we continue with the assembly of the tie raptor model, I hope you enjoy it.

We continue to assemble the back of the cabin. This part requires several cuts to make it as rounded as possible.
look at the photos
we glue it on the back

We continue with the wings, I had to cut them so that they fit well in the sphere, I made the cut following a line made by hand so that they fit well. then paste them as shown in the photos

Love it nice work Ions. Now I would like to give it a try to design my own raptor after I finished the bomber.
I think it's a fantastic idea. Could you suggest that instead of making another raptor model, you make the predator tie model?
I look forward to the result of the model you end up making. good luck

hi how are things.
Now I continue with the assembly of the tie.

VERY IMPORTANT DATA BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THE MODEL.
THIS MODEL IN THE PDO IS 15X15 AND I TURNED IT TO 10X10 SO THAT IT WOULD FIT THE TWO SHEETS THAT I HAD REMAINING.
I'M SAYING THIS FOR WHEN YOU ASSEMBLE IT, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE CONFUSED OR LOST BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REMEMBER THE SIZE OF THIS POST.


We continue with the pairs of the wing support, these pieces are small so be careful where you leave them so they do not get lost.
we also built two hexagonal pieces that go to the sides of the ship

tomorrow he will continue with the parts of the turbolasers and the two missile launchers, they are parts that take time due to the fact that they are made up of several small pieces
