I love scratchbuilds - doubly so when it's SW related!

looking good but shouldn't the engines be a bit bigger? looks a bit weak propulsion system for such a big ship. Who wants to be a sitting duck in a planetary assault ;)

Clever use of cable covers (dont know the correct english term) :)

Is that a statuesque minatures head on that fleet trooper? If so, what size?

I've a similar conversion in mind :)

I bought the heads set some time ago but i think they have 2 sizes so go for the bigger wich i think is heroic size heads.
