Pylons sawed off the Scale Solutions ball

The Scale Solutions ball has a brass rod through it (to stop the completed model sagging with time), which made sanding it to shape a bit harder

I wanted to use the hub of the SS wings for the ball - here they are still attached.

The Raptor Droid is supposed to have proton torpedo launchers where the TIE Droid has laser cannons - here the lasers have been removed and torpedo tubes made from styrene tubing

A glowing droid eye was simulated by spraying the eye with concentric circles of black, gunmetal and silver, all of which were overpainted with clear red

Re-masking for the repaint. This also gave me an opportunity to fix some issues that I didn't pick up 8 years ago...

Album info

This is an old build, originally built in 2014 but with a repaint so it fits in better with my current TIE collection. It is based on a Scale Solutions TIE Droid kit with TIE Raptor wings from Multi-Verse Models. The TIE Droid and TIE Raptor both are both from the old Expanded Universe (comics and books respectively) but the combined droid raptor is a fan design. The MVM wings are designed for the Fine Molds TIE kits but fit the SS ball quite well. The 2014 version was painted a light grey but I've picked Haze Grey for the repaint.
