Build Your Own Imperial Star Destroyer
tashanna writes "I got an e-mail from my brother with a link to this. Someone has built an Imperial Star Destroyer model from the original Star Wars movie that's appropriately-sized for the 4" action figures. The guy made it with an armory, bridge, cell bay, computer room, engineering (split over 2 levels), Darth Vader's chamber, conference room, troop rest room, medical bay and it measures 2 meters, by 1.5 meters, by 1 meter and is for sale on Ebay. There are interior photos on the eBay site. Ummm... WOW!"
That's not Imperial, that's butter!
Comes with the Chewbacca Defense system!

Pissing off Kuat Drive Yards by copying their patended ship design seems like a real bad idea.
He should have waited until we have atleast one orbital defense platform up.
All I gotta do is come up with some sort of geeky spin on a complete set of Mama's Family videotapes and I'll finally get these goddamned things off my hands.
But it doesn't have a Mr. Coffee or Mr. Radar! Damn you, Lone Star!!
Yes! Now us (boys) men can take our (dolls) collectable figurines and (play) display them in a scale size (doll-house) terrarium!
I think this guy might be quite clever. He's using eBay to host pics, for free, that can withstand a slashdotting! Of course he doesn't want to sell it, there's no way he can get anywhere near what his time and effort that went into is worth.
I read the summery and was like, "What is a Star Wars"?!?! Then I was relieved to see you had a link so I could easily find out more about those Star Wars.

What gave you that idea? The picture of the kid next to it, the 4" Star Wars dolls shown inside the Star Destroyer, or the text indicating that it was made for play?

Not to mention that if that model is in scale with 4" toys, that's the biggest 5 year old in the world.

Yea. It's wrong to make money on anything.
