Apparently when GL and co saw the model of the Executer
they were so blown away they created more scenes for it
According to my book of SW archives

It was shown as part of a Star Wars exhibition
at Bradford's National Museum of Photography, Film and Television about 15 years ago. Fucking beautiful it was.

is there a term modellers use to refer to all the busy little "functional" details you get on spaceship designs?
if not I'm going to call it "space kipple"

Impressive.
Most impressive.
Shame that so little of that Death Star detail was seen on screen.
Have ye seen the "Build your own Millennium Falcon" partwork that's out at the minute? Supposedly assembles into a 100% screen accurate model.
100 issues at 9 quid.
You do the math (s).

I saw an ad for that last month
I was thinking the issues would double in price half way through the collection. Bound to get caught out. Looks like a great model though.

Thank you...
This will help with the Millennium Falcon, X-wing and TIE fighter I'm starting on next month...(Okay, they are Fine Molds kits, but original photos are always useful!)
