Gimme Shelter Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 A quick fun weekend build from John & Helen - first appearing on the big screens 40 years ago, here's the J&H Death Star. £30 from Ebay, its not a bad kit - Helen loved getting busy with the Tamiya masking tapes, and then the tweezers and scalpel to remove the masking, having left me to use Black, grey and white Halfords primer rattle cans to bring this very old kit back to life. I will add, this was Helen's first venture in model building - she seemed to enjoy it and was keen to keep working on the kit across the weekend - it was built her way without my influence and I would say she's done quite good for a beginner with minimal Death Star knowledge. As Vader pointed out to us 40 years ago " The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant to the power of the force" 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's a great looking build. Every time I see the Death Star, I always start wondering just what everyone on board actually did all day. 350,00 crew and 800,00 additional passengers doing what? I wonder if the Empire ran time and motion studies. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
