Doc I think you might be mistaken, these rocket pods are in scale with the Action Fleet TIEs. Just wanted to clear that up.


Here's my newest custom, the TIE Experimental M3, aka the TIE Warhead

[wraithnine]

looks wicked dave ,,you gonna try to colour match the pods to the TIE?

[trooperfelks]

looking so damn good dave , cant wait to see it painted up

[Goldleaderone]

I'm gonna leave them the color they are now. When they came in they were in 4 pieces (2 side pieces, front and back cover) and a dark gray color. I glued them together and repainted them with space wolves gray.

That looks awesome Dave! I seriously love the look of this ship! As far as paint goes To be accurate you would need to paint the Tie the same color as the cannons. Get on it Dave! hahaI looks great as is.

[Phatty]

Dude, DAVE!  That is so wicked!  Way cool, brother.

[spudafett]

VERY cool. Those missile tubes worked flawlessly for this ship.

although I agree that they should be painted to match, they look odd and out of place (of course this is a "prototype experimental" so looking like an after-thought add on isn't horrible....)

[CaptainLux]

wow, looks really sweet!

[FialaFernbrugg]

what a great custom Dave
the rocket pods fit perfectly on the TIE
I'm looking forward to see the TIE M2

GL1, that looks fantastic!

I know that you said you are keeping colour as is, but mate, you've done such a spot on job getting the pods to match, why not paint them to match the Tie scheme!

Anyhow, if you leave them as is you've still done a remarkable job!

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks Jules. I've been thinking of repainting it now. If I can find some paint for the pods that match the Interceptor I'll do that. If not I'll just repaint the TIE with the color I used on the pods.


It's nice to have a custom from one of your favorite games.   

[hangarbay94]

Agreed on the custom...

The tie looks to be a blue/grey...Why not try mixing blue and black until you get the nearest tone...perhaps adding a touch of green....

[Tamer]

Looks good to me. I would think you could go either way with the color too. Either match the ship or leave em like they are.

Wouldn't it be cool to see a skull and crossbones on the sides of these pods! I know, I know you want to keep it game accurate.

[CloneSniper78]

It looks deadly that's all I know.

Worked on something very minor this weekend. My X-wing custom for Wedge as Red Leader for the Battle of Endor lacked... something. For the custom all I did before was take 1 red stripe off each wing with nail polish remover. Looking at it lately I wanted to add something to it, and I had an extra Red Three X-wing laying around. The Red Three X-wing is the only X-wing to come with red rings around the engines. I ended up swapping the engines off, and I think it looks better now.
