Midi-Scale TIE Reaper

The TIE Reaper drew my attention when I discovered Doug Chiang’s wonderful concept art of the ship. The typical empire-like, agressive and angular look of it instantly reminded me of my favorite vehicles from the movie.

The main features of this design are: fully SNOT build from top to bottom, accurate proportions, studio model / prop look, removable stand and working ramp. Getting all the very complex angles and shapes, while maximizing the SNOT look, led to a very intricate Midi-Scale build.

My main goal wasn’t “swooshability”, but making a convincing, display-only build.
Although not intended for play, it can be easily moved around with or without its stand,
and safely held from below.
