Seeing your customs in pictures is one thing, but having seen them in person was even more impressive! I really like this series of concept TIE Fighters! And the TIE TRI-Fighter is another great addition to it! Excellent work, Christoph!

TIE/D Defender

The TIE/D Defender, commonly known as the TIE Defender or T/D, was a high-performance TIE Series starfighter developed for the Imperial Navy by Sienar Fleet Systems shortly before the Battle of Endor. Representing a shift in starfighter design from previous TIE models, the ship featured a hyperdrive as well as deflector shields to allow it to operate independently of Imperial capital ships. The ship's speed and agility, combined with its firepower, made it arguably the most advanced starfighter available at the time.

I used two Revell TIE Interceptor model kits for the custom. They are very cheap to get on Amazon for about 5,50€. The wings are slightly modified. The superstructure for the wings was made with an plastic ring and parts from the TIE Interceptor kits. The wings are removable.
I know, the wing is not 100% correct but I'm with the result.
I made a simple display stand with nut wood and 1mm wire.
I hope you like it.

Got this on the front pages.

Very nice work. I do enjoy seeing you create all these great TIE Variants.

I totally agree with Ron! It's incredible to see how accurate you build these TIEs! I am especially amazed by the connection on the back of the cockpit. The transition between each girder to the wings is just flawless! No glue, no broken edges - just very smooth and clean as always! Also the 120° angle between each girder couldn't be more accurate! I like it a lot!

I was looking at this again this morning. How you put that back together (where the 3 panels attach) was flawless. I am assuming there was some trimming there, but it looks like a perfect factory fit.

Sorry for the late answer gentlemen.

JDeck: thank you
hemble: thank you Ron
legion078: thank you my friend. I hope I can find some time to make other TIE variants.
Tamer: thank you Shawn. It required a lot of sanding and patience to get everything together.

TIE ECHELON

A radical new and desperate design by Sienar Fleet Systems. The Echelon was incredibly fast and far more manouverable then even the TIE Interceptor. The weapons system was improved. The power consumption was very high and led to overheating.

Design made by unusualsuspex.

I used a Revell TIE Fighter 1/92 scale which is cheap to get at the moment.

The display stand is made of nut wood and 2mm wire.

I hope you like it:

Love those models!

Darth More · « **Reply #251 on:** November 10, 2017, 04:39:19 PM »

Another great model of an interesting concept! I like it a lot! I am glad you found some time and new inspiration to create it - now, your concept collection should be complete, shouldn't it?
