August 16, 201410 yr Author ARGHHHH!!!! I am NOT an IT guy! Sorry. Best I can do are links until I figure out the magic spell to embed. Anyway, I am a Clone Wars guy, but I do love Tie fighters, Who doesn't? If anybody can explain why the first LSW Tie fighters had blue accents/trim, please explain. I got tired of the small, blue older Ties in my fleet and am making upgraded, larger ones of each model with grey trim. The Interceptor is the first, finished it today. I'm actually pleased with it. Solar panels are a bit big "looking", but I did my best to follow the actual proportions in one of my Star Wars Essential Guides. Comments and suggestions PLEASE! Thanks in advance. <a href=" title=" Woah, goatman is on the ready line, THANKS!
August 16, 201410 yr Author Now I can't even get the links to work. Hope I don't get booted from EB for breaking some rule. Sorry! OK, I am out of patience trying to embed pics, I cried like a little girl in the forums for help with embedding, don't know why the code isn't working, I am quitting for tonight, before something gets broken. This is my first time posting a Lego creation. I've been MOC'ing and customizing minifigs for a year or so, Just wanted to get this up tonight. Will post better pics as soon as I figure out how.. Any suggestions on my Tie are most welcome. Thanks!
August 16, 201410 yr If you haven't already, check out our flickr tutorial. In a nutshell, the problem lies in the fact that EB posts are formatted with BBCode, not with HTML. (I think you copied it from one of the sharing options on flickr; they have an option to copy the code for BBCode in addition to HTML.) So instead of, <img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3879/14930711812_43b031e606.jpg" /> You need to use, [img=https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3879/14930711812_43b031e606.jpg] I've taken the liberty of editing a picture into your first post.

In the movies and comics, the TIE fighters have somewhat of a blueish appearance when they fly around. The blueish color is also present in the comics, and so, for some reason that I don't know, TLG decided to make the ships more EU (comic) accurate. Hope this helped, and good luck with your fleet upgrading!
