that, making the wings and fixing the angles so it has the
iconic six-shaped angle were also tough. The wings have
special elements as these are made of solar panels.
Q: How did you integrate the opening cockpit function
into the set?
A: As the TIE Fighter is very iconic I have to stay true to
the shape of the model, and in order to do that I used the
parabolic element as a hatch.
Q: How did you plan the design for the TIE Fighter? Did you
use artist sketches or film stills to inspire your creation of
the model?
A: Designing the TIE Fighter I used both pictures and
sketches as well as the movie in order to catch the right size,
proportion, and the details. I built the model several times
in different ways, comparing it to my references until I got it
right. We also reviewed the model each week with the design
team, as well as sparring with each other all the way through
the design process.
Q: Is there a specific feature of the TIE Fighter set
that you like best?
A: One of the specific features that I like best is the stand, as
it allows you to display the model from all sides. I also like the
cockpit glass as it fits perfectly to the model. The minifigure
included in the set is a great collectable item with unique
decorations. But in general there are so many features that I
like very much.
Q: There have been several TIE Fighter LEGO
What sets this one apart?
A: The way that it has been built and the size of it is
tremendous. Also, the level of detail is unique to this
set. Besides that, it has the display stand with all the
specifications of the vehicle from the movie, on a plaque.
