Once again you've done a marvelous job. Your brush painting looks better than my airbrush painting! Loves the detail work and the choice of color and tone are on the money.

Nice one Pete.

Are you going to add the 2 standard TIEs for a Deathstar formation?
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Pete, how do you cope with going from 1:35 to 1:121 :crazy:

I thought 1:72 was too small, great job by the way :th:

That looks great.
I have one to build along with an interceptor and fighter which I got as part of a swap deal, they're really nice and surprisingly well detailed little kits, I notice though that the scales on all three of the ships I have are different despite being the same type which I found odd.
It's a shame they're not all the same so you can make a display shelf specifically for all of them showing scale size differences.
You must have an incredibly steady hand doing Darth Vaders chest plate so neatly!
I did a little what's in the box video for mine as an excuse to use my Darth Vader helmet much as anything and everytime I see a built star wars kit I keep thinking I really should do one of them. Maybe after the Little Nellie i'm doing at the moment.
Video here if you want to take a look.
