Lego UCS TIE Advanced (Part 1)

A recent upsurge in the amount of Legos that I own has caused me to finally get off my ass and make this post. The following are some snaps of the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Vader’s TIE Advanced. The TIE Advanced eclipses the size of the Imperial AT-ST by almost 200 pieces. I've been sitting on these for about three months, I think. Shots were taken at various stages of construction, as well as of the completed model (naturally). Click on the thumbnails for larger versions.

The first set of shots were from day one, which completed the base of the cockpit and began the wing supports.

Above are some pictures of the TIE's body section. The middle shot shows the detail on the center of the body, while the last image shows the body attached to the cockpit.

The above pictures show the detail inside the cockpit. One of the best parts of the UCS kits is the amount of details they add that you never get to see, much like in a traditional model kit. Even though the cockpit lid opens by design, it doesn't allow a very good view of the interior. I removed the cockpit facing in the first image in order to get a better look at the seat.

I'm going to cut this one off before it gets ridiculous with the images. Hopefully I'll be able to get the rest of them up without requiring a part 3.
