Thank you Talkierg
Being new to this, How do you know were to put what?
Do you just wing it? Or are you looking at screen caps or a templates?
Beyond that I can spend hrs watching you build this Beautiful work of art!opcorn
Over the years of building this, I've accumulated a number of reference images. I'll pencil in a position on the build before applying a detailed piece of plastic. I'll also look at the donor parts that were used on the filming model, and build a miniature version before glueing that on.
Exquisite!, i dont think i can express how in awe i am right now
Thanks Andy3E, glad to hear that you like the build.
Well, gotta get back to my "other" build!

I muttered many expletives while reading this thread from start to finish.
The detail you've put into this build is nothing short of extraordinary.
A character from one of my favorite movies of all time said something that I think sums it up: "Impressive. Most impressive."
Absolutely mind-blowing. Fantastic work, please finish. This thing belongs in a museum or something.

Scratchy, how are you going to present this once it is done? I'm using magician's invisible thread on my build in places... it may be cool to have the star destroyer suspended, but in a glass case for protection?
I was looking at all your detail parts and thinking they were amazing, and then out of curiosity looked at some reference pictures of the studio model - not only are the 'random' greeblies incredibly detailed, they are accurate to the extreme - that is crazy in the best way!

I was thinking of displaying it over a mirror, resting on four acrylic rods with rubber stops on each. Similar to what has been done by other builders for their models.
The way I see it, I need to build and glue a piece of plastic in a specific area, I may as well make it look like the one that's on the filming model
It's been a while since the thread has seen an update. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the build.

Thanks Alaska, I'm honored that you chose my thread for your first post, and welcome to the RPF.
Thank you Chicagovader, I'm happy to hear that you like the work so far.
I see on the unfinished area you have quite a bit sketched in. When you're planning detail are you using existing parts and THEN sketching in possible configurations or are you approaching an area with something in mind and then scratch building to that design?
I'm trying to get at how you artistically approach designing the details and what you're placing where.
Thanks so much for documenting this!

I've found some time and added some details to the Star Destroyer. It sure was nice getting back to this build after a year has gone by.
