Star Wars Tie Fighter
by Steve
This is my 1/72 Scale Tie Fighter from Bandai. Sorry there aren't a lot more photos, I thought this was going to be a very quick build between projects and it turned out a lot nicer and a lot more fun than I expected!

My finished Tie Fighter.
Finished Tie Fighter
A close-up of the finished model, showing the lovely details on the wing. I had hoped to take some better photos with some photographic background sheets (black or white) behind to really show it off, but I've run out of cash for now :)
Finished and sitting proud
I actually broke the stand right after taking these photos. I though it had a bearing at the top allowing you to pivot the tie-fighter. I tried to move it just a little too much and it snapped. Still, with a little glue it's almost as good as new.
Main body (bottom)
I enjoyed painting this detail in the bottom, though you never see it unless you detach the model from the stand and remove the round bottom plate.
Main body (front)
The main body is fully painted, though the cockpit masking is still in place.
