Colin Furze Creates Life-size Model Of Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer | Video

Posted on by

With excitement for Star Wars: The Last Jedi reaching fever pitch, eBay has challenged YouTuber Colin Furze to create a life-sized model of the TIE silencer, using only parts sourced from site, in order to surprise six lucky Star Wars fans.

The replica of Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer from the new film is Furze’s biggest build to date, weighing an estimated seven tonnes and taking seven weeks and a team of five people to complete. All the items used in the build were sourced from eBay, and include everything from paint and LED lights to the steel frame and welding supplies. The ship specifics also include a cockpit with targeting screens, a captain’s chair and joysticks, comprehensive lighting inside and out and a personalised KR67 TIE number plate.

Once complete, it took five articulated lorries to lift the vast spaceship from a secret build site to grand country estate, Burghley House in Stamford. It was here that the ship was revealed to six lucky Star Wars fans alongside four First Order stormtroopers and a working scale replica of BB-9E, created by James Bruton of xRobots. The ship will be on display to the public at Burghley House until 11th December.
