(...) If you mean the 5+ foot long model of a proto-Star Destroyer (with red upper decking), yes. It was amazing, but I didn't know what the name was. I've put up some pictures on Brickshelf. (URL) Brian Davis (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

I think I've been on more ISD builds than anybody else--except we weren't stuck with the table size you guys had--makes the build even more challenging! (I was (...)

Mostly because the entire build had to be done using just one 8x4 foot table (really, two 8x2 tables with a crack in the middle). Both teams were packed into the LEGO booth, so (...)
