The Enterprise is coming along (first decals have been laid, still more work to do), but I wanted to mention my next planned project before I began the preparations. I plan on maing a Kenner/Hasbro style Star Destroyer. I haven't settled on the scale, but I want it to be big, but manageable for a kid to play with. The main challenges will be to make it sturdy, have a respectable amount of detail without taking me years to make it, and be modular for storage or shipping. I have no idea how I'm going to do any of these things.
I'm imagining hinged access panels with play set-like sections, rotating gun turrets, and a bridge superstructure that contains a bridge that is at the very least kind of reminiscent of the one from The Empire Strikes Back (including a big window for Darthy to grumpily pace in front of and strangle people and junk).
The angular profile and design will; be a nice change of pace from the dangerous curves of the Enterprise...but beyond that, I'm a little scared of this build. Which makes it exciting.
