Looks good. Glad you are continuing on with it. Off to share.

Great job ! look forward to seeing it completed .

It's been a while since I did an Action Fleet custom. I thought I would have this done tonight but I'm low on the silver I use and can't find it on ebay at the moment. I may have to buy another brand.

Here's my work in progress: Action Fleet TIE Fighter from The Force Awakens

I plan on repainting the panels on the wings silver, then adding a dab of red on the laser cannons.

Looks good to me so far. Off to share.

I decided to take some Shipyarders advice from a while back and update my TIE Experimental M3, or "TIE Warhead" custom. Back then all I did was repaint the rocket pods (from a Warhammer 40K set) which came in a very dark gray color. I never had a color that matched the TIEs so I was stuck. Finally I found Celestra Gray and used that to repaint the whole TIE Interceptor, as well as the rocket pods. I dabbed a bit of red paint on the back, and repainted the back of the engine black. Some paint got on the black panels, and I easily painted them back to black. Lastly I super glued the pods to the sides of the TIE and sprayed it with a matt varnish spray to prevent chipping.

So I present to you my (updated) TIE Experimental M3, or "TIE Warhead" custom from X-Wing Alliance.

Oh yeah, time for a front page update. I think I prefer the circular rocket pods to the hexagonal ones anyhew.

I recently purchased a TIE Droid resin kit from Scale Solutions on ebay. This came in 3 parts, the 2 wings and the main body of the ship. First I washed it with dish soap as it was a bit greasy. I let it sit overnight, then primed it with some black spray paint from Games Workshop Paints. Again I let it sit but for 2 days this time. Lastly I gave it a blueish-gray paint job with the color Fenrisian Gray. I also added in some gray details around the cockpit and the back with Codex Gray. For the first time painting a resin kit, I think I did an alright job.

Ever since playing Rogue Squadron I always wanted a TIE Droid in Action Fleet form. This TIE Droid is in scale with the other Action Fleet TIEs, so this is close enough. A very cool piece. I'm just trying to figure out how to get it on an Action Fleet stand now.













The list on page 1 has been updated.

That is awesome!! Really turned out great. It really is a cool tie variant too.

[Tamer]

Wow, that turned out great. I tried to find that kit on eBay and struck out. If you could pm me a link or email that would be awesome.

Off to share. I sure hope you get it on a stand!

would you mind getting a photo of it next to an AF tie?  I've seen this kit around for a long time and have always wanted to get one...  Never felt like spending the money though.

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks guys. Tamer, PM coming shortly. I'll get a TIE comparison up after work. I wanted to do that originally and forgot.

[Goldleaderone]

Here's a comparison shot, first with the TIE Fighter then with the other TIE variants. The Vader TIE is the larger scale version.

[spudafett]

That looks a tad bit small, but exactly like the kit I was thinking about.   The Tie-D was supposed to be smaller than the ties, so it makes sense.

There was someone that was selling just the wings in a kit that could go onto the action fleet models I think... 

[Tamer]

Got the link and will post on it shortly, thanks!

[mr.Jedi1977]

Very cool !
