    I'm very keen to see this mate :)

    So, I finally finished the build.

    Thanks a lot to Raskolnikov for making this possible!

    I also used a 7l strut-piece in pearl silver and re-built the inner ankles of the feet:

    I've seen it in 3D and again in 2D with my son... as with TFA this movie doesn't really benefit from the 3D technique... its perfectly fine in 2D and has more of a "vintage" feel to it this way.

    Interestingly I enjoyed it more on the second viewing, where I could concentrate more on the details... and there are sooo many details to discover in this movie.

    Hello again,

    I inquired about bricklinking an ISD already some time ago... a few weeks back, someone from a german forum offered me a re-bricked ISD with some painted parts... I looked at the pictures his substitutions spreadsheet and we agreed on a price. I received a very large box a few days later.

    Almost everything of the build were in the correct original colors...a very lovely old light gray - I changed some things and reordered some of the more yellowed plates so now it comes to 99% original... only the internal magnet holders are white or dark gray and of course the big wheels and the globes on top are still the painted substitutes...

    I took some pictures, where I have now set it up in my Star Wars room...

    Of course I also had to mod the engine section a bit, because the original model is sorely lacking in this department...

    I'm really happy to finally have this epic model in my collection... I must say, to me it is the single most impressive build in the Star Wars UCS line... (with the Shuttle Tydirium and the Millenium Falcon very close by...)

    Thanks for looking!
