The Building of a Star Destroyer
My wife got me the incredibly huge Ultimate Collector's Imperial Star Destroyer LEGO set for Christmas, 2002. The next day we headed up to her father's house and I spent over 18 hours putting the massive LEGO together, here's a chronology of the Building of a Star Destroyer and the effort needed to build a case to fit it in which I got for Christmas, 2003 (Thanks Pop Fro!).
