Robthepom Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hello Hello Work has stalled on my big project the D9R, so i thought Id start a quick build for fun. This kit is a little cracker from Bandai, and i picked it up from AliExpress (3 month shipping) really cheap kit for big details Dry fit no glue Troy Molitor, LSP_K2, The Madhatter and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As regimental and organized as the Emprie is I always found the representation of the under construction Death Star a bit weird. Seem it would be built more evenly and not as shown. The miniature sure was cool looking though. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that the scale of each exposed level was way off; given the immense size of the Death Star, each level seems to be around 50m or more in height!

Kev They're probably meant to represent blocks of levels rather than individual ones. Which would make some sense. Build it in sections and then join them together.

LSP_K2 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I saw some reviews of the kit, so passed on it. Now if they'd made it 2' in diameter,... Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not real In the film I noticed that when they were looking at a projected image of the plans, the depression that fired the rays, was in the middle of the sphere, not above it as later images of the DS showed.

Ryan Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 You know the emperor was most displeased with the appearent lack of progess of the construction crew on the Death Star, perhaps doubling their efforts resulted in the dogs breakfast of holes, gaps and other panels to nowhere we see illustrated.
