Build Your Own Imperial Star Destroyer

Posted by michael on from the let-the-wookie-win dept.

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!"

  2. This model is way out of scale by Animats · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Now wait a minute. That was supposed to be a big starship, on a par with an aircraft carrier. According to Starship Dimensions, an Imperial Star Destroyer is 1.6 km long. This model is 1/20 scale, so it depicts a ship about 40 meters long. That's roughly the size of a Coast Guard cutter.

    This isn't a model. This is a kid's dollhouse.

    For this star destroyer (I DEVASTATOR) to be "appropriately sized" it would be allmost a city block, maybe 2.
