TIE Whisper Interceptor
1July 14, 2021Added some sections of 0.4mm rod to give some variation to the wing panels
2July 14, 2021Removed the rear seat and added some bits from the greeblie pile.
3July 14, 2021Also used some scrap styrene to fill holes and add a bit more detail.
4July 14, 2021Added a casting of the front panel, based on the one I modified for the standard TIE Whisper build
5July 14, 2021Cockpit in place - with a Kylo Ren figure made by modifying a FO pilot body and adding a left-over Anakin Skywalker head (originally from a Fine Molds Jedi Starfighter kit, I think)
6July 14, 2021Basic body put together - wing centre pieces just clipped in place for now.
7July 14, 2021New windshield attached - again from a casting made during the standard TIE Whisper build
8July 14, 2021Hull extension put in place - front view
9July 14, 2021Rear view showing hull extensions in place
10July 17, 2021I had painted the wing panels but wasn't happy with the gaps around the inserted ribs - so I had a go at puttying them a bit. Also I wasn't happy with the colour - too warm. I'll have to mix up a new colour later.
11July 17, 2021Dry fits of the wing outer and inner sections showed a gap for one section on each side. A shim was made from scrap styrene, glued in place and trimmed to match the opposite side.
12July 29, 2021Wing panels glued together - some repositioning required as they are a long way from parallel
13July 29, 2021Wing panels repositioned and gaps filled
14July 30, 2021Wing-tip guns glued in place and a coat of black primer on the wings
15July 31, 2021Gaps under the extensions filled with Aves and a coat of interior grey on the transparencies - also used it as a primer to check the filled areas.
16September 11, 2021Main painting completed on all parts and coated with Future ready for weathering
