Midi-Scale TIE Striker - Rogue One

My Midi-Scale TIE collection expands again with a new TIE starfighter: the TIE Striker from Rogue One.

Made of 730 pieces, this TIE Striker features a fully SNOT surface, a smooth cockpit section, and includes blaster cannons below the cockpit. Design-wise, this ship really felt like a natural continuation of my previous TIE Reaper MOC.

Although being almost Minifig-scaled, (hence the Midi-Scale) this ship obviously doesn't have any interior due to the techniques used and small space allowed for the internal structure.

Due to the front-heavy nature of the design, a rather long (but very simple) stand had to be made in order for the ship to remain perfectly steady and horizontal.

The overall build is pleasantly sturdy for a display model and can be moved around easily.

Instructions come in a high quality, 234-page PDF file.

Note: the “Dish 5x5” piece (n°6942) is quite expensive (~$10-$20), but an important part of the rear section of the fuselage. It can still be omitted to reduce price, at the cost of a less smooth design at the back of the ship.
