The weather is getting better; soon I will be back on the big Eagle (it needs paint) but this Star Wars stuff has been a nice distraction this spring. Good fun; it is also helping me to learn Autodesk Fusion 360, also good fun and a change from my usual industry software Solidworks.
Lifting some blue prints / plans from Wookieepedia again. Another unusual Tie variant from the wider Star Wars universe; the Tie Crawler or, The Century Tank.

My finished CAD file as a short animation. Really happy with the way this worked out and it looks ok with an initial coat of primer. I haven't taken any wet or dry to it yet; just a wash in soapy water.
The Tie Assault Bomber - The Scimitar is progressing in CAD and as a physical model; the landing skid is very fine, the posts are only 1mm diameter and the collection of parts is growing.
3d Print Project in between the larger projects.
Star Wars Tie Scimitar Assault Bomber. CAD and 3d printing is WIP for sure; still a little bit to do. Can not make my mind up; to tool the wings or not. I like the idea of the ship landing on its wings (with the body at an angle) I might look at inventing a landing skid to fit to the underside of the front body section (hex cone shape). I think that would be quite smart and look neat. The model is 1/72 scale First resin castings from a few tile tools; a few lumps and bumps and air bubbles but these will be better on the second and third pull and the tools are clean.
