seriously this is getting ridiculous now lol there is a point where you just have to admit the game is up, youve been caught out, and youre actually showing parts for the real full size thing.....come on...be honest......awesome. simple.
Haha you have got me there. I have the shrink gun now. If you ask nice you can get it. The fun thing is this build will get more ridiculous. Im now working on a part that gives me a headache.
awesome. simple.
well i dread to think how hard that will be if itll give YOU a headache.....looking at the detail in your build the whole thing would give me a migraine lol.......(just use the shrink gun lol)

You may have insufficient shielding from some of the components that are giving you headaches.
Im working on the last parts for the furst stage of the DS build. I just want to share what Im doing.
The parts in the picture are tubes. Its a four layerd tube I need to build 16 tubes. And I have to do that eight times. You all know now what I will be doing the next few days.

You are really connecting with everyone on this build. To be honest, I found "Death Stars" to be boring, but you just raised the bar so high, you have destroyed all other "Death Star" models with one blast. You'll have to do a planet size one next, which means a Sun too!

I couldnt wait so I started to assemble the first part.
And I did a dry fit with all the parts. Here a sneak peak.
And now to make six more to complete this build.

When you can zoom up on a part that size, and it still looks fantastic, well, that says it all!
So for the last few days I have made 106 parts. Now Im ready to make the final part from it.
I hope to finish before the end off this year.

I just looked at all those parts again, I felt exhausted imagining doing all that work.
It was indeed a lot of work. I think overall it took me 20 hours to cut and glue these parts. Add ten hours for the assembly for the final parts. Not that much workI just looked at all those parts again, I felt exhausted imagining doing all that work.
This is maybe a bigger project than the death star itself. Great job
