MYSTERY 10 – Jason Eaton’s 1/24 Johnston/Gawley Early Mock-Up TIE FIGHTER

My second “Star Wars Sketchbook” model is a mix of Joe Johnston art and the blueprints drawn by Steve Gawley. Of note, the very earliest TIE Fighter mock-up by ILM feature these more-segmented wings, so it’s really cool to bring this particular early iteration to life.

Jason Eaton – Making the Cantwell/Gawley TIE FIGHTER Concept into a REAL Studio Sized Model – WIP

Artist Jason Eaton continues to impress with this fantastic beginning to an amazing Concept build! The Sketchbook continues to grow into physical models through Jason’s skills and love of the art form!

I am modeling the TIE as seen in the Sketchbook, while also pulling from Gawley’s blueprints and Cantwell’s concept. This is the result, three days in! I’m getting faster but still loads more to do.
