After blowing the Internet's mind with an R/C Millenium Falcon, Imgur user Olivierc600 has come back for a second round by building a Tie Fighter. Truly, the emperor has struck back.

Using polystyrene foam, each piece is traced and cut out separately from a series of schematics. 

The pieces are attached to the drone using carbon tubes and secured with Midi-chlorians. 

Acrylic paint is added for detail, giving the foam character and—as the French call it—pizzazz. 

And away she goes, once again proving the Force is real.
