Today I made the "superkit" (the Tantive IV) in real life,
and... well... it's actually kind of crap once you hold it
in your hands.
The model does not hold together very well, and doesn't
stand on its feet. I had to make a slight mod just to

is designed more for good looks in the game than to be

it, and that alone is a very nice bonus with this game!
Images and an LDR file are in the same place as the I-1 kit,
which was a lot more fun to build:

because I had no white 3x3x2 white cones, no white 2x2-2x2
bracket and not enough of red 2x2 round plates. Also, all
my white Technic 1/2 pins were busy elsewhere.
Like I said, this model is a bit shoddy in real life, it's
nowhere near as nice as the first model (I-1) to build.
