Studio Scale Star Wars TIE Bomber Replica
At the recent Replica Prop Forum project showcase, we met visual effects modelmaker Jonathan Faber, who brought his scratch-built studio scale TIE Bomber. This model is an exacting replica of the filming miniature used in The Empire Strikes Back, including the greeblies sourced from WWII and rocket kits like the ones used by ILM’s modelmakers. Plus, Jonathan shows us his newest project, a cross-section miniature!

I love to see the Craftsmanship and the passion to make a replica as accurate as possible. LOVE IT!!
Would love a link to the RPF thread where this collaboration took place. Has made me curious about getting into Studio Scale models myself!
For me the TIE Interceptor from Return of the Jedi is my jam, but I can definitely appreciate the passion and effort into making this! Well done Jonathan!
