Papercraft Ties....

Tie Scout & Tie Bomber

The 5 papercraft Tie designs

X-Wings... (correct wings this time!)...

Bits for four X-wings cut out and scored with a craft knife...

All folds and edges touched up with a grey felt pen so no white bits should show when finished.
I found it best to do it at this stage rather than at the end - as sometimes the glue acts as a barrier to the ink...

Starting to glue bits together...

I made sure I got the wings the right way round this time!



I use white PVA (or childrens gloopy craft/school glue) and a small paint brush to apply it.

The wing pieces are all done... I applied a couple of coats of PVA glue to the thin pointy parts.. when the PVA is dry it gives them quite a bit of extra strength.

The wings are on. Because of the shape of the bottom of the ships, I couldn't glue them directly to the stands, so I glued a couple of bits of thick card together, then cut out some small cubes and coloured them grey with the felt pen.

Grey cardboard cubes glued to the bottoms of the X-Wings.

Finished X-Wings on their stands.

These Tie Fighters were very easy to make in comparison to the X-Wings I did last week... so next I'm going to revisit the X-Wings - and get the wings the right way round this time!!!....

 

...I'm eagerly awaiting The Millenium Falcon which is going to arrive any day in the post now - (no I'm not going to attempt making a papercraft Falcon!!)

Papercraft X-Wings....

My first attempt at 3 papercraft X-wings for use with the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures game.... They were quite fiddly to do! And I made a serious mistake with the wings... doh!!
