I wish I had more enthusiasm for having hot acrylic flying everywhere - mostly all over my clothes, and my body.I could have a blast then, as this is what I have most of to do to get my kit to where yours is. It isn't a lack of patience - just get tiny burns all over my arms, and face. Are you using all styrene for this Star destroyer?

hi Chris, yes every white piece is a piece of styrene that was cut from the sheet, strips or tube, I also have a little bit of grey styrene in there as well. The other little bits, that aren't white, where pieces taken from some 1/700 battleships (very few pieces) these are pieces that where molded into the main deck and shaved off for this build. However, I'll try and find something that looks like the piece that is on the studio model.
Since I'm building this, I thought why not build the part that goes in that specific place. I wasn't as focused with my first attempt back in the early 90's.
I suppose I should've called this thread "Scratchbuilt Kitparts" and I'm just glueing them to something that looks like a star destroyer LOL.
