An entry for the 15 Piece Vehicle Challenge.
About this creation
If you do not know, I am a big fan of Star Wars. Ever since I made those Micro TIE Fighters, I loved them and wanted to make more. Luckily, the 15 Piece Vehicle Challenge came around and gave me a chance.
Introducing the Micro TIE Interceptors!


The ship itself is 13 pieces. With lasers OR a stand, it becomes 15. I don't know how the rules work with TIE Interceptors. However, with lasers and stand it becomes 17 which is not helpful. However, wheels with axles and tires count as one piece so explain that. For the Interceptors, though, the attachments are just for show.
Anyway, here are all the pieces used to make one including stand and lasers.

And even better, I will give instructions.
Cockpit


Wings




Blasters

The blasters are held in by friction between the clips in the wings. You'll need to be patient.

Attachments: Lasers

However, with the lasers, it is much easier to place the blasters.

Attachments: Stand


And Voila! You have just built a Micro TIE Interceptor!

Again, altogether with all the attachments, not really in the rules but I find the whole wheel assembly a bit much. If anything can be excused, it's the stand since it really isn't part of the vehicle, but here is a shot of both with the different attachments. Like I said, the ship itself is only 13 pieces, and the attachments are just for show.

Thanks for checking these out, and good luck to the other contestants (And myself cause of that whole attachment situation) !

:O That is awesome! Can I use a modified version of the design?
Yeah. And hey, I've seen this used before by M<0><0>DSWIM, and although I don't have one and don't know if you have one, if you have the Arcenstone tile, it could make for a great windscreen. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=98138pb024 |

Great work of Lego "15 Piece" creationism! IMHO I always think a stand is just for show anyway. |

Thanks again everyone. You're all awesome. I've been thinking of trying to make a TIE/advanced and a TIE Bomber, and perhaps an updated regular TIE fighter design as well, just have to figure out how! |

The tie interceptor is one of my Favorites in Star Wars. Extremely beautiful micros you've done here |

Now that's some impressive microscale building. The lasers really help to create the illusion of authenticity. Great job! |

Fantastic work!! They look extremely accurate, especially considering the limits. The stand and lasers don't count as part of the vehicle (they'd count as extras e.g. Exhaust flames, Spray (from a ship) ....well, you know), so that's all good!! Some great parts usage, best of luck!! |
