JEDI TIE WING RACER IS FINISHED!


Recommended Posts

WHAT IF?

What if you mounted the Tie Wings differently? I have had several requests t show the Jedi Tie Wing Racer with the wings reversed. Here are a few photos of one way it could be done...

Another View, this one showing the Side Vision Problem...

You could also mount the Tie Wings upright and attach them to the X-Wing sides, this would take care of the side vision problem...

WASHING...

I applied a black wash from The Detailer to the Silver areas of the Racer. I'm starting to make plans to add more color to different panels. This should be Fun!

Here is a quick mock-up!

MORE COLOR-LESS SHINE!

I painted the Silver details with a Silver Marking Pen. Then I did a little touch up with Silver paint and a brush.

Next I added some color to the body. I hand painted the Red and Black stripes using masking tape to keep the lines straight. That worked pretty good but I did get some paint coming under the tape in a few places. So I used some of the Flat Yellow and painted over the mistakes.

Then I sprayed the Wings with Testors Dullcoat.

METAL MESH!

I bought this Metal Mesh at a Crafts Store. It comes in many styles and colors. I cut a piece and glued it into the Hyperspace Supercharger.

I also cut some Metal Mesh to fit the underside of the body. Extra Mesh on the sides so I could glue it easier. Zap-A-Gap Glue and Baking Powder were used to hold the Mesh in place.

Here is the Hyperdrive Supercharger with the Mesh in place.
