Epic Lego Build: Imperial Star Destroyer

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!

After reading the amazing Lego build posts by the great sir @galenkp, any news about Lego gets my attention and the other day I saw an article that REALLY got my attention fast!

A guy built a massive, custom, Star Wars ship after Darth Vader's Star Destroyer in Star Wars: A New Hope. This thing is 56 inches long and weighs 70 lbs!

He posted a 45 photo gallery on Imgur.com and goes by the name of Doomhandle. His model has 3 levels and dozens of figures.

All material are official Lego pieces. Unfortunately he doesn't say how long it took him to build it but you can tell this was a real labor of love and I'm guessing he's an engineer.

I'll just show you some of the photos and you can go check out the whole collection if you want to.

This is inside the Command Bridge:

You can see all of Doomhandle's photos here
Obviously I only hit the highligts.
I don't know if he's done any other builds but I think he should be working for Lego!
