I got the Ultimate Collector's Edition Imperial Star Destroyer for christmas, I plan on starting to build it within half an hour, I don't expect to sleep tonight.

I must have logged at least 12 or 13 hours so far, I haven't really been keeping track. Unfortunately the wings for the ship are almost uniformly the same color, leading to many potential mishapes, I'm in the process of tracking down 4 lost pieces so I can finish.

Finally finished the ship, the 4 pieces I was missing were on the inside of the infrastructure, so I checked each wing twice for no reason, lol, oh well. I made a couple small mods on the inside of the structure to boost stability and to keep things from falling apart long term. I was having some trouble with a couple parts along the bottom staying on, and in the front the panels were fraying apart because there was no inner support, now there is and they look pretty nice.
Had a lot of fun building it, so about 15 or so hours, a couple of which were spent just tinkering around and cussing as the panels kept falling off as I was trying to put them on. Still enjoyed building it though, and my god, the thing is huge, I cleared off one of my dressers so I could keep it off the floor. <3
If anyone wants to see pictures from the building just shoot me a message and I'll send you a link. Preferably message me through aim (I have mobile forwarding set up).
