Here is my version of the Bandi Star Destroyer. I reviewed a lot of the builds here on the RPF to get some ideas on how to finish this, so thanks to all those who have been posting their builds!
This kit is pretty amazing and like all Bandai models, the engineering is spot on. The only part I did not like was that you have to remove the upper bridge section in order to turn on the lights so I decided to make my first custom base and run the battery pack external along with an external switch. Not only does it make it easier to turn on and off it also allows a much tighter fight reducing light leaks and makes the model much lighter for mounting.
Here is the model pretty much assembled and ready for painting and effects.
