Found flying two moons from Senu, a star fighter called Rigzo Z1, its origin is unknown and not seen in common airspace.
I added the atrt to the same shot that I posted recently. Credit to Jerac for his awesome tie fighters that mine is based on.

I came up with this tie-fighter technique which only uses 2 pieces, along with a small base for it. All in all, the entire MOC only uses 20 pieces. Hope you like it!
To God be the glory!
Strobist:
-580 EX II coming from the left and the right at 1/64 power at 14mm zoom setting. Gelled green at about (-115) tint. Did this to make the light coming from the CameraBright!™ X1-ER (http://www.camerabright.com/product.htm) a pink/magenta color.
Lightpainting procedure:
- Had Laura pose with a punch. When the strobes popped (first curtain sync), I had Laura pull back into the arc you see now.
Lightroom 2.0:
- Temp upped to 6k, tint corrected to +115
- Blacks up to 15 to clip the background
- Decreased yellow, orange and red saturations by -10
- Noise Reduction 25%
- Darkened an area below the index finger to remove the camerabright
Photoshop CS3:
- Cloned the light trail to hide the camerabright
- Changed the iris to a magenta color
- Increased the contrast of the hands by adjusting levels

Regrets: I think I could have used snoots for a better effect, but adjusting the blacks was not a huge deal anyways...
I had free time the other day. For a freelancer work is slow these days as you can imagine. One has to do something to pass the time, so why not play with toys.
The TIE fighter was a long and slow build, it still isn’t quite finished but whatever little details there are missing, such as the Dremel tool bits temporarily standing in for the chin cannons, won’t really show on these photographs. This is as good as it gets.
I am very happy with how this thing behaves in front of the camera. It was a bit of a gamble, you never really know before trying, but it turned out a pleasant surprise. I was a little concerned about the wings that are too big and thin but my eye is already accustomed to that. It’s good enough for now.
This little fighter has climbed higher on my spaceships list after building it. Much higher!

Y’all might or might not agree with me, but I’m looking to establish a sub division that operates within the Flickr Fighters. Just the ones that go on dangerous and stealthy missions, which I hope I’ll be writing someday (part of the Multi_Sharp series).
Currently, I’ve got jose henson and Milan van Steen as part of the group in discord. Here’s the link if you’re looking to join discord.gg/TgrEcd.
If you’re tagged, it’s also an offer, whilst getting permission to let this group happen.
If you’re looking to join, just state your Flickr Fighter name, brief backstory and powers, you may do that as well in the group.
A couple of shots of the interior of my TIE fighter as requested :)
As you can see, I have altered the design since I uploaded the first photos (pray I don’t alter it any further :P). IMO it looks much better now as less grey is visible from the inside and the clips on the top hatch add some extra detail. You can also see a figure is able to fit inside the Eyeball comfortably. However, the pilot is unable to hold the control yoke properly unless the cockpit section is disassembled, something I’m not keen on doing on a regular basis :)
Anyway, enjoy the pictures :D
EDIT: I've done a LDD version of the whole TIE which can be downloaded here: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?s=5332f76633d4d6115c4e...
Having only a few seconds before been driving along a steep wooded river valley it came as a bit of a shock to come across this outstanding RAF interceptor of the '60s and '70s. It was mounted on a plinth on the premises of Castle Air just off the A38 near Liskeard in Cornwall.
It is actually 31 years since this plane took its last flight in November 1987. According to Wikipedia, the Lightning remains the only UK-designed and built fighter capable of Mach 2. It was designed, developed, and initially manufactured by English Electric and was operated by the RAF, the Kuwait Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force.
The Lightning was initially designed and developed as a high speed interceptor to defend the V bomber airfields from attack by anticipated future nuclear-armed supersonic Soviet bombers such as the Tupolev Tu-22, but it was subsequently also required to intercept other bomber aircraft such as the Tupolev Tu-16 and the Tupolev Tu-95. The Lightning had an exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed but was limited by its fuel capacity. Later developments provided greater range and speed along with aerial reconnaissance and ground-attack capability.
A fighter celebrates his victory much to the dismay of the opposing gamblers at a late night fight event in rural Isaan. Virtually all Thais who frequent Muay Thai do so to gamble.
Ex Finnish Air Force MiG-21bis fighter. This aircraft belonged to No. 31 Squadron. Helsinki, Finland.
First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
Forget Aventador's. This is what it's about.
If you're wondering what is behind it. It's the wing of a disused Concorde.
TIE Fighter? Gray is so unsightly these days, Bow Tie fighters are much more hip and stylish way to populate your fleet! Osiris Fleet Systems has the Bow Tie ready for combat, with forward twin laser cannons and heat sink nacelles on each wing.
