That's a great looking build. I love what you did with the engines.

I have one of these partly built in the shed, one day I need to get back to it. We could defiantly do with a newer kit, but I agree we are unlikely to get one.

Wow! Nice work! Are the broadside turbo-laser batteries aftermarket or did you scratchbuild them? Love the battle damage, adds interest but not overdone.

I built this kit when it came out; during the Empire Strikes Back release. Got it for Christmas and still have it in bits and pieces. Always loved the ship, it was so honking huge at the beginning of Star Wars. It's more than 30 years old, because I built it in high school and I've been out over 30 years.

Nice job on yours.

Nice work, NucMedTech.  I hear ya on the fit issues and lack of detail. I built this same kit back in the day and I still remember what a crud-bucket it was. As simple as the kit is, one would think the relatively few parts would have all mated nicely, but no. This kit was not on par with other MPC kits of the time nor was it the quality you'd expect from Star Wars. You've done an amazing job considering what you had to deal with. Keep up the good work.

Cool!  I built one when I was a kid and its still hanging up at my parents house in some back room.

It is soooo weird that you posted this as I just pulled a boxed one off the shelf just yesterday to look at the sprues. You may have inspired me to build this one! Nice work on the shading for what could have been a VERY drab kit!

Nice, IIRC there is a same scale resin blockade runner that will fit inside the docking bay. Might keep an eye open on Evilbay for it.

Well done.I built this kit years ago and was disappointed with the lack detail.I'd like to build another and add a bunch of greeblies to detail it up.

Good job. I like the engines, especially. You can't go wrong with Star Wars kits. I have the AMT Star Destroyer. Never have built it. I think when I do I'll put lights in it. I understand your pain as far as the fit problems go with MPC kits. Same is true for AMT. They are infamous for that, in my opinion. About the only reason I'll buy AMT is for the subject matter. Anyway, I have a bunch of Star Wars kits. I need to get to work on them. Again, good job.

I built one of those decades ago myself. Can vouch for all the same gripes! I personally always wanted a tiny Millenium Falcon to pose on the side of the superstructure. Unfortunately my Star Destroyer (and AT-AT) disappeared while I was on deployment about 8 years ago. My wife never did tell me what she did with them, but suffice to say they are no more...

I built this kit several years ago. It wasn't meant to be. Firstly, I tried adding a blue hue to the paint. Well, the liquid paint looked much different than the finished product and I had a blue ship when I was done. Secondly, I decided to hang the ship from my office and the fishing line pulled through and down she went. Anyways, you did a fantastic job on yours. Don't let it crash!
