I was brow-beating a friend of mine into running a game at a local convention and ended up agreeing to build a model of the Deathstar trench (and its unprotected exhaust port). Progress is being made but I only have a three-week window! https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2023/09/death-star-trench-run-model-or-me-and.html

That is going to be a staggering amount of work, but look amazing when done.

A good start - how long a trench have you got to build?

Do you have any womp rats to scale the exhaust port?

Grand job, looking forward to seeing more, it's inspiring to try this.
How does it work, do you relocate each trench section from the rear to the front once all ships have passed through it, to make it indefinitely long?
Good luck with the deadline.

Good luck.
I remember a Death Star trench game at Salute.

This is just part of a much larger game using the Star Wars ship-to-ship rules (there will be a MUCH larger table where the Rebels and Empire will be slugging it out) this is just the final objective and I'm only modeling the final run down to the exhaust port. This model is four feet long, two feet wide and a foot tall.
