Just finished this Star Destroyer for the Star Wars Group Build. Thought I would post it here too. Hope you enjoy!

Comments and critiques are welcome!

Nice job, have the AMT version that came with the lighting kit and would love to know the differences between the two.

not much at all except for the lighting kit. The kit parts are all the same.

Ranger_Chris61,

I apologize, I did not see your response. I have not built your AMT kit, but from my research, the kits are virtually indentical.

Here is a build log from a builder who did a fantastic job on the AMT kit:  HERE

I did use the Odyssey engines, and some of the Avery resin parts on my build, that are mentioned in his log.

Thanks for your comments, and I hope to see yours complete soon!

what scale did you use for the turbo laser turrets?

Mikeym_us

The turbo laser turrets are from this Avery resin kit

This kit is designed for the AMT/MPC Star Destroyer kit. I'm not sure of the scale.
