With all the star destroyer threads, dediced actually last night to post my work.
After 18 years, andprobably going on 19, I feel its not even close to as good as some of you guys on here, but might as well also share my story.
So back when I was in 7th grade, 94-95 school year, I decided I wanted to make a Star Wars kind of movie with my Dads video camera. Built some ships out of legos, then deciced to make some out of cardboard. First started on an Imperial Shuttle (which I never finished) Then I started on the star destroyer...my little brother even made a smaller version too...
While I did actually get into filming later on and have done plently of greedscreen effects, I never made my movie back then....but I did contenue to work on the star destroyer. Year after year, I worked on it little at a time. When I started on it, I had only 2 pictures froma magazine and a pasued picture on the VHS tape. I didn't even know til years later there were 2 models used between ANH and ESB. Well, because of this, my shape, angles and much detail arn't even closed to the real deal. But its become my baby, which now I would hate to try and start over. In fact, I now have "finished" building on this model 2 times and am now adding more detail again. In 2007 I had to hurry up and get it done as possible to display at a small city convention, but was not at all happy with that "done" version. So now I will try and dig up all the photos I have saved on photobucket and hope they all post ok after the years. To be safe, going to try a test post in just a min. Thanks for anyone taking the time to read all this.

Ok, so let me try and post a few pics. Been years since I have, forgot what part to copy.
If working, these are the only pics I have when I first started.
