OK, lessee if I can remember what I said in the last thread before it was deleted.... Mischief [:-,]

Thanks for sending the pics, Rob!  Looks like you've got a great start on that master.  How long is that ruler, exactly?  And what length and scale do you expect for the model itself?

The ruler is one of those 12" triangular architech rulers.

The model will be 17.5"

I don't recall what the scale will be.

Or maybe a scale Imperial Star Destroyer or two for the sake of size comparison would be just as kewel. Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for sending the pics, Rob. Looks great so far, dude!  Can't wait to see her completed. 

 So, any thoughts on some regular Imperial Star Destroyers to go along w/the SSD?

Well the Tie Fighter looks SPOT on, but are you sure the X-wing is to scale?  Laugh [(-D]

Now you just need to figure out what size a scaled Death Star II would be next to this thing so you can make it and then we can crash the SSD in to it.... Laugh [(-D]

She's looking great, but be careful, the detail on that super structure could have you waking up in some cold sweats!

Yeah, really sucks when that happens.

Excellent build you got there. I'm checking out all of the coolpics, right now. I may have to try something like this.

There's been more work and uploaded pics.

Most of you already know about the accident and the unfortunate delay, etc.  But I think I'm back on track now.
