*** UPDATE - 02/17/17 - 2016 Showcase Video with a lot of custom Hasbro stuff ***----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi,
after the first and the second TIE-Fighter conversion, now I've finished a new TIE-Fighter conversion (V3.0):
"Hasbro TIE FIGHTER - KOOLSHADE EDITON 2013"Still not 100% movie accurate, but imho for now my best collector piece.
What I've done with this Hasbro toy:
- *new* "3 part" wings with real "KOOLSHADE" material (similar to the material that ILM used '77 for the solar wings)
- *new* custom designed cockpit with LED floor ilumination
- *new* added missing joints / grooves on the hull
- more realistic cockpit window with all new "screw holes"
- LED ion engine lights
- "visible" engine parts
- lots of details added at the wings and the fuselage
- decals added
- "LED-design" laser canons
- stainless steel design base
- complete new repaint
Much more pics here:
