They stay in place no problem but if you bump into them they will fall off. There is room for improvement as the bricks closest to the body aren´t supported by technic pins. Look into my Flickr album for one more photo of the wings. I take it the scale of the wings is unchanged from the original plates? Did you change how the are mounted too much? I was planning on putting pen to paper to plan this exact same mod, but since you've done it so well, do you mind if you share a side on picture of the wings so I can see the bricks/position of technic beams you've used for the wings? Other than that this one is also two studs wider.įirstorderTIEfighter02 by mordatre, on FlickrįirstorderTIEfighter04 by mordatre, on FlickrįirstorderTIEfighter03 by mordatre, on Flickr Edited Octoby mordatre I´m currently awaiting parts to incorporate the spokes on the inside of the wings as I did on my Special Forces TIE. There is already a great version of the standard FO TIE in this forum by user belkor.
I also extended the main body so the model is two studs wider than the official set.įOSpecialForcesTIE01 by mordatre, on FlickrįOSpecialForcesTIE02 by mordatre, on FlickrįOSpecialForcesTIE04 by mordatre, on Flickr The top cannon got rebuilt to look more like the one on Hasbro´s model. I tried using longer axles but then they bent outwards because of the plates, so I used the shorter ones for a sleeker look. I am satisfied with the solution I came up with using technic connectors and axles. The inner spokes are, as you know a problem since the first TIE Fighter released.
Main differences are the now white wings and the inner spokes on the wings. There is room for improvement but at the moment i´m satisfied.Īnd now the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101. There is no room for a copilot anymore but the troop area remained unchanged.Īlot of tweaks and rebuilds later I feel finished. In my flickr there is a before and after photo of the cockpit during the mod. The designers of 7502 used gray in a very clever way to make the cockpit look thin yet still hold figs. The cockpit needed to be thinner when made out of all white parts. The wings are made in the same way as the top fin (and UCS wings). The Imperial shuttle is one of my favourite vehicles of the OT, so what started with a couple of tiles ended up with a couple of Bricklink orders. Yes, ANOTHER thread with MOD´s of the Imperial Shuttle and First Order TIE.
