Looks like great progress to me. Off to share.

PAINT! To give the Death Star the uniform color it needs to look right, I'm covering walls and floors with plastic spray paint. I picked up some grey today and finished out the back wall for the Emperor's arrival area. A cardboard printed piece (an homage back to the Kenner playset) will fit into place behind the blast door opening, and will show a perspective view of the docking bay/space.

A few more, with figures. There are gaps and seams still to be covered up. Not to mention the second coat of paint. Plus the floor paint. Plus the other 90% of the Death Star....

Now this looks pretty daggone cool. Update to the front page.

Snow days in North Carolina = time to make plastic! Moving along with more of the chasm wall, though it feels like it's taking forever! Some temp placeholder prints represent where labels will be attached. I really wish I could figure out a way to easily make these Death Star "light" panels, but there would simply be too much cutting/painting involved, so for now - decals will have to suffice.

NC you say? where the heck are you? I am in NC!

These Death Star sets are shaping up nicely! Really nice work with a classic style.

I don't care if you made the plastic with the cut wall lights or with the stickers as you have done this is simply AWESOME.

All death star, 24 hours a day! That's what it feels like this week. Chasm is pretty much complete. 2 columns will be placed at the "front" of this area to support the floor above it. Won't attach wall to base until the reverse side (landing hanger) is ready to go. Pretty sweet!

Just Bloody awesome mate.

This is so awesome! Really great job capturing this moment in time! Such an iconic scene and you have really knocked this one out of the park. Also you could have hours of fun here shooting Stormtroopers and swinging across.

As always, thanks for the awesome feedback

Level 2, above the docking bay, is moving along. Tarkin area will be the conference room, hall right outside, and of course the trash compactor on the left. Now I know how irritated the Emperor must have been to have a half-finished Death Star - wish I could build faster!
