At the Workbench: Building a Mining Guild TIE Fighter

Tim Kidwell modifies and details a fierce Star Wars spaceship

·

Join FSM at the workbench and build a sleek looking Star Wars spacecraft.

Tim Kidwell takes a Bandai 1/72 scale Imperial TIE Fighter from Star Wars and modifies it into a bright Mining Guild TIE Fighter. Along the way he adds details to the cockpit and paints it an eye-catching yellow.

As a reference, he used the Star Wars TIE Fighter Owner’s Workshop Manual which you can purchase here.

Are you thinking of adding a TIE Fighter to your own scale model collection?
