Dave left out the interior and replaced the windshield of a Fine Molds 1/72 scale TIE fighter with a Thomas the Tank Engine face from an HO scale Bachmann train. He painted "Thomas the TIE Fighter" with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with artist graphite powder. “After the Rebel Alliance accidentally destroyed the Island of Sodor, Thomas became very cross with the Rebellion,” Dave says. “This is his story.”
