Lego Star Destroyer - Bitch Complete NSF56K

So...I got one of these bad boys for 100 bucks or so at Target. It was just too enticing. It is ~1400 pieces of Lego badassity. It looks to be about 2 ft long and 10-12 inches high. Not only is it a sweet ship, but you can open it up and it is like a playset.

Construction took about 10-11 hours. You need a solid surface. A desk is ideal. I tried to build on carpet for a while, but it makes it tougher.

I took pictures at each major stage of construction, here they are...

So...has anyone built the Lego Death Star II? I find it intriguing...

    So are you going to buy a Lego A-Wing set and crash it into the control tower?

    It took so long. I went D: when I dropped bags of Lego pieces onto my desk. Thank god it was so well organized. I couldn't have done it with their old school type shit. Even so, oh my back and shoulders ache from construction work.

    You know why they have all the little internal components, right? So it looks cooler when you crash them into other lego figures.

    I tried to read one on lightsabers once, but apparently people developed at-length articles about how the fuck they work, and combat styles, and aaaaaaargh.

    No.

    An A-wing crashed into the control tower of a Star-Destroyer, causing it to fly unguided into a super-star destroyer.

    I'm pretty sure that's how it went down.

    Break it. Then tell us how long it takes for him to put it back together. I must know this!
