Detailing a Revell Republic Star Destroyer

Found it, based on something like this:

Has anyone done something like this?

are you kidding? i cant even see detail that small.   great build

Looks awsome!!!!!

I saw this particular model close-up at Wonderfest and at a local IPMS show a few months before that. It was a very nice build - when people would walk past it, it would sway ever so slightly in the wake of their passing.

I've never done this before, but I have a friend who has. He explained to me that because of the way magnetism works, it's impossible to balance a stationary model solely on a magnetic field - it needs to have at least one point of contact, otherwise it just slides off in a random direction. This particulat Destroyer had a single filament line attaching it to the tower behind it, which was probably where the field was strongest.

If you do get into something like this, please share it w/ us. I for one would like to see how it's done in detail.
