Ah, cool. That's good to hear. Also, if you DO happen to be unable to ignore
them, you can always explain them away as the results of stray laser fire
from some B-Wings and X-Wings or something!

Hmmm... I was kinda wondering about that. More because the huge side view in
the catalog shows that the trenches along the sides of the ship only go to
about 10 studs back from the very tip of the plates. I have noticed, BTW,
that while ESB and ROTJ ISDs have trenches that come quite close to the
front of the ship, the original Star Wars (ANH) ISDs didn't, and are
actually closer to the LEGO model in the trench detail as WELL as the
communications array and tilt of the domes (later ISDs had domes that were
"straight up" rather than perpendicular to the command tower surface (which
is slightly sloped).
Anyway, that doesn't sound too bad. Here's something a lot of people have
been wondering about, though: does the crack or seam that runs between the
port and starboard plates (top and bottom) attract a lot of notice, or is it
relatively benign? Some photos have shown it quite gaping (but I suspect the
magnets may allow for some play in the plates' positioning). Just wondering,
thanks.
