Here's the box and all the bags of pieces for the kit. They were nice enough to break this set up and number the steps of the build - as you can see on the bags. | The first step is to create all the people that come with the set. | Next comes the base of the set, here you can see Darth Vader in his hypobaric chamber. | After the base is finished, the A-Frame is constructed and attached to the base. This A-Frame looks and functions much like the one in the larger set. |
Then we add some detail to the interior, more of the body and the spine that will support the tower - coming later. | Now the engines are added to the rear of the destroyer. Here you can see a close-up of the 3 main engines and 4 sublight engines and the escape pod in the background. | Once that's complete, we can start on the body panels. Here the first, the lower-left panel, is in place. | Now the second lower panel is in place. |
A higher view of the lower body panels in place as well as the figures from the first step. | The first top panel goes in place, the front-right panel. | Now the second front panel - completing the nose of the destroyer. | Another panel that covers the rest of the top of the destroyer. |
Then finally the last body panel and the Star Destroyer base is complete. | Time to start on the tower, first we make the spine of the tower and the base that will sit on the destroyer base. | Next the tower sides and shield generators are added and the tower now takes the familiar shape. | With the tower finished, we can work on the tower base. Here's one side of the bottom. |
