It's been a busy weekend with Friendsgiving and such, but I have managed to steal some time to finish up the entire central structure of the TIE Fighter wing! Very happy with the way the model is progressing. There is only a small amount of details remaining on the wing 'spokes' which I'll finish up tomorrow and then I can finally start working on the central cockpit.
It may not seem like much progress was made since yesterday's update. But in fact I managed to replace the black panels, correcting the issues I was facing previously. They look pretty sharp now!
I've made some real progress tonight, having finally managed to reach the lower level of the platform. The going is about to get a little tougher though, as it appears the model used in the film has four unique panel sections, which means no more mirroring my actions for the time being. Not the biggest issue, but it'll slow me down for sure.
I've managed to make some real progress tonight, with the top 'layer' basically finished. I may add a few more small panels for the sake of detail, but honestly I don't think they'll actually be needed. The model is intended to be seen from about this distance at its closest anyways.
I have a photoshoot this evening so I figure I won't be able to work on this tonight. However, I did manage to finish the panels and continue the work on the central section.
I've made some real progress on the wing, but I was still being held up by the sense of scale. It's hard enough building something that really only serves whatever purpose your mind gives it (is that a small motor or is that a battery?). But when you loose a sense of scale too, that's where the trouble starts to creep in.
It's finally starting to take some shape. It's been pretty interesting working with all these geometric shapes- which has really helped with the speed of this build. I unfortunately didn't get to work on this project much tonight, but I still got a change to flesh out some of the smaller details as you may note.
It's been a while since I've worked on anything in 3D and I've been feeling inspired by the Star Wars Episode VII trailers. Confused what this is? It should reveal itself pretty quickly in the coming updates.
