No the design in it's stock form actually appears in Episode 1, the Imperial version appears in the new cartoon series which I haven't seen yet.
Indeed? I need to pay more attention then haha. And I still need to watch Rebels...and finish Clone Wars...

I am in the same position mate, I need to see s6 of Clone Wars. I haven't even seen an episode of Rebels yet either.

Thanks mate. :D

I meant to comment on this earlier. I'm not familiar with the design and can't find reference to it online. Is this your own design?

Nope, it's a ship that appears in Star Wars Rebels, the new cartoon series. The stock version appears in episode 1 actually, as a background ship on Tatooine.

For some reason I had to stop watching in season 2, and I haven't gotten the chance to start again. No time like the present I suppose...To Netflix! Awayyyy!!!

This one is all Terra_inc's fault. Yes blame him. :lol2:

He indirectly reminded me that I still needed to revamp the textures on this model so here it is. The TIE Defender now matches the TIE Line, Interceptor and Bomber. :D

Model and textures look extremely clean and well presented. However, I do believe that the cockpit ball is about 1.5 times the size looking at the images on Wookiepedia. Still. From other sources theres some conjecture as to its actual size.

Thanks mate, glad you like her. She'll be sent to Rifraf with the next batch of models that I need to hardpoint and lightmap for the mod. :D

Thanks MAP. I based the original Defender off the EAW stock model which aren't 100% accurate. Professional games never are.

There are a lot of conflicting sizes when it comes to a lot of the models that appeared in the earlier SW games. Considering how small these will be in-game I didn't think it would be an immersion issue.

Another great model there. It just reminded me are you going to remove the engine glows on the other fighters like you originally thought or just leave em?

I will remove them. I plan to do a texture overhaul on the Rebel fighters as well. Nothing as fancy as what I am doing with the Imperials. But I will remove all the glows from all the fighters.

I am going to see if I can get the last Imperial fighter done today. This one will probably take longer as it only shares the cockpit ball with the other designs.

Thanks Terradyhne, I am glad you like them. I'll be getting back into stations again soon. Just been hardpointing what I have and sending it to Rifraf the last few days before proceeding further.
