[NOT ROBOTIME] Ugears: Star Wars TIE Fighter #4

Time to finish this fun build! Building the TIE Fighter itself was surprisingly short, I think about 45 min to an hour perhaps. Time to show what I made of it!

Some of you requested a short video of the movements, so I decided to do that as well…

And here are some more detailed shots…

And finally a size by size comparison with the Millennium Falcon…

Obviously both are not the same scale :rofl:

What a fun build this was and I really like the result! Next I will be going back to Robotime to build their Cuckoo Clock :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Very nice! In my early years, when star wars first came out, I ran the toy department. We had all the little characters. I think one fighter would have fit in there!

Do you still have them? Because some of those are worth serious cash :sweat_smile:

I wish! I was literally in a position to collect each one. But the store put some rules in place so I never did. I dont know if you had these but I was there the first time cabbage patch dolls came out. OMG people were fighting literally in the aisles for the doll

I guess I was too young for that to happen, 1985 child here :see_no_evil_monkey: I do not have any toys, especially of that era, but I do have a metal and fully functional lightsaber (nerd). Plus I also visit Dutch Comic-Cons, but not as a SW character :sweat_smile:

I think I have seen a documentary at some point on Netflix that the toys were consistently sold out and the production of these was not enough to satisfy demand, which explains why toys like these are so wanted nowadays

That’s the one you’ve mentioned you can connect to this one to resemble some kind of chase sequence, right?

Yes, exactly. I think this one will be a little more delicate to build though
