I'll take better pcs when the light outside improves. The flash is making it look very orange here. :-/

And some group pics -

Holy Heck! 8-O

That thing is just incredible. I totally works as an updated Shadows vehicle. Blows the original out of the water. Parts list please?

Thanks mate. It's just the RS main body with Tie Interceptor wings and podracer turbines. It's screwed together with big fat screws so it's never coming apart haha.

I'll take better pics of the engines so you can see the detail.

Cool to see this again, very creative and awesome.

I've been wanting to try something like this for a while (updating the wings with the Tie Interceptor). Glad to see it looks so cool. Adding the podracer electro slicer is a brilliant move. Brilliant.

it's tough to make any kind of TIE wing panels work for non-Star Wars vehicles but you did it here, I can actually look past the Interceptor features to see something new.

great work, Marcus

Chad did something very similar a few years back (never posted online), but used regular Tie Fighter wings painted solid black. I really love the Tie Interceptor wings here, and the mix of red on black really makes this work. All red would've been too much, as would have all black. Such a great balance.

very nice DH. Every time I watch the Avengers I want to get one of these things to build the Hydra tentacle walkers from the openning. But I dont how to to make the tentacles.
