Behold the most impressive fan-made Star Wars spaceship model ever: a DIY 48" Star Destroyer built from scratch! The attention to detail will boggle your mind: Link - via reddit
I find the attention to detail awesome...and disturbing.
On one hand, my first thought is "this guy has WAY TOO MUCH time on his hands". The second thought that follows that one right away is: thank the gods there are people out there who are passionate about something, anything, and are willing to put their time and talents to work to follow those passions. WAY TO GO!
While I think this is a beautiful model, I'm a little saddened that someone would put such modeling talent to such a tired subject. As someone who's built numerous Star Destroyers (digitally) for various games, and as a former scale modeler myself, I appreciate the effort and care he's put into this. But I can't help but think how cool it would be to do something on this scale that was original, or from some story that hasn't been widely told yet.
Ooh very nice! But I agree with artbot. It's frustrating to see someone with obvious artistic talent creating another version of something that's been seen before....

i want one! don't think the girl friend would like it, but still.......
Good for him. It takes a lot of patience to do that. I also thought how interesting a Battlestar Galactica would be.
So what if it's been done before - would you rather he made Louis Vuitton bags that looked like dogs?
Looks like it got hammered to death. Oops.
