Lego Star Destroyer Bridge
I've been having a hard time deciding which forum to put this in. I decided to put it here, since it's technically a 'project'. I'm cool with the mods moving it if need be.
I've always enjoyed Legos growing up and once they started making Star Wars stuff I thought: 'Wouldn't it be neat if they made a model of an Imperial Star Destroyer, to scale with the minifigures?' Since that was unlikely to be forthcoming I decided to design one of my own.
I used Microsoft Paint to make a geometric grid the size of a large baseplate and superimposed a circle on it to the approximate size of the central pit. I then drew up blueprints for each layer of bricks, calculating the total number for each.
The figures I kitbashed from a set called 'Final Duel' It had an Imperial officier, Luke Skywalker, and a Stormtrooper. I waited until they were heavily marked down and bought a whole bunch. Any suggestions as to what to do with 17 Luke Skywalker figures would be appreciated.
I made a half scale model to work out the way to place the curved wall panels. The computer bricks and hinge pieces came from ebay. Most of the grey bricks I ordered from Lego directly.
At the last minute I decided to make lower levels with office space and a Stormtrooper's barracks.
