Just finished the dish, I took the photo before the final sanding. I had this world globe for a couple years with the intention of doing this project, finally got around to doing something with it between time on the Star Destroyer.

I wonder why they made the trench so large on the 2nd one, with the first you could barely get a starfigher down there, with this one you could fly a star destroyer with room to spare!

Great work so far.

Well, the trench run at the end of ANH was not the equatorial trench, but actually a much smaller polar trench. It's seen on R2-D2's battlestation plans during the mission briefing, but it's easy to miss. The equatorial trench was seen when the Falcon was being drawn into the hangar by tractor beam. Much bigger trench.

Here's another pic. I'm in the process of building "Construction Components" for the sections of the Death Star that will be cut out.

I have a request, does anyone have any reference images of the studio model, I'm looking for the left, right and back sides. I have the images from the Blu-ray and a number of images of the front.

Many thanks,

Oh yes! I'm very excited to see this!
What are your plans for creating the detailed construction sections?

I don't have any plans, just working straight from whatever reference that I have available. I stayed as true to the details of the laser dish, and I'll keep as close to the front. I'll utilize all the reference and I'll use the cross-section illustrations.

If anyone has some reference that they're willing to share, I would certainly appreciate it.
 
Sorry, I didn't know that. Seems obvious when you see the real thing.

I hang my head in shame.
