This is awesome! I love the snot route you took. What is the size compared to the official one?

[Graham Gidman]

Extremely impressive!

[dr_spock]

Very smooth!

[Rishab N]

The SNOT work is awesome, you can't even tell it's made of legos

[Godtshep]

Fantastic work! This needs to be frontpaged!

[deraven]

Impressive build, nice technique… but it's TOO smooth! ;D

[Azrielsc]

Beautiful take on the ISD! Love it!!

[Manx]

Fantastic build and a great picture of it.

[TWP]

Good work!

As others have said, I think it's rather flat/smooth. And why did you use the clip/plate technique here so predominantly? any special reason? It looks rather nice, I did a quick research and didn't really think that wouldn't be my first choice to do the border.

Those Death star halves for the engines is a NPU in my opinion!

[Swan Dutchman]

Very nice ship indeed!

It's very smooth indeed like the other eurobrick peeps said... but maybe because it's a digital build?

I would like to see this build in reality and to see how sturdy it would be. But all the same, it's a nice ship. Well done!

I'm pretty sure it's a real build. If you look you can see some slight color variations in the snot portions. I wonder how it stands up though. The inside must be pretty technic-ed up.

If you follow the Flickr link, there are some shots from behind that are either pictures of a physical build or the new gold standard in rendering. I'm pretty sure this is a real, physical build.

I know it has been said before, but, this is really a nice clean build. Most impressive!!

The force is strong with you!!

Any chance of some pics of the belly of it? Where's the Blockade Runner?

Thanks, Jamie

Respect!

Very interesting and original choice of doing the edge of the hull plates. It looks really good. Oh and these death star half spheres for the thrusters - briliant idea!

As someone mentioned above, it's smooth. Maybe a little bit to smooth for me. I could imagine some plastic patterns to the hull not to be so plain, but... you know, easy to be the clever one :D It's fantastic model. I really admire your work!

When I first looked at this the other day there was something that threw me off with it and I could not figure out what it was. I took a look at it with beer goggles and realized what it was. The missing texture that makes it so sleek and awesome also (to my eyes) draws my focus to the center seam. This is by no means going to change my mind that this is an amazing ship. I am just happy that I was able to figure out what my issue was.

When I first clicked on the topic, I thought that first picture was a render of a star destroyer to compare to the lego one you built, until I realized that was the model itself! VERY impressive.

[Lord Tyrus]

Soooo clean! Sooo smooth! I WANT IT!!! Fantastic build, especially the fact it's not a render! I especially like the technique you used for the 'trimmings'.

[Jared]

Smooth. Very, very smooth. I want one... :D

[BetterBuilderThanYouAre]

HOLY! I thought this was a 3D model, not legos.

[Cyberfounder]

That looks amazing, I only wish TLG would take the time to make such a model.

[hachiroku]

I love the MOCs that I can't figure the building techniques

Thanks everybody, UPDATE more pics in full resolution here: https://www.flickr.c...os/89966977@N03

Those pictures are much better. The minimal side greebling looks great.
