Posted September 16, 201410 yr My new ISD needed some rebel scum to fight, so I put together a Nebulon B Medical Frigate! The ISD is listed on wookieepedia as 1600 meters long, while the Nebulon B is 300 meters. A quick conversion showed that I should make this model 13 studs long to be in proportion, and though it ended up a little bit long, it's still mostly in scale. Its spindly design makes it look incredibly tiny compared to the solid wedge of the Star Destroyer, however. While it's out of scale, I couldn't resist putting a little window in for Luke and Leia to stare out at the galaxy from. It would also be possible to dock a micro-micro Millennium Falcon on the clip that's currently attached to the clear bar, though I don't think Lego has yet made pieces small enough to produce one. It would have to be a printed 2x2 disc, most likely :P Perhaps if I'm really feeling up for a micro-build challenge, I'll make a seven-stud-long Tantive IV next...

September 17, 201410 yr Very very well done! You were able to capture the details quite nicely. It looks close enough to scale, for me. One of my favorite parts of ROTJ is where the Frigate is trading broadsides with the Executor. I always wished they showed more ship-to-ship fighting. What's the orange/grey thing sticking out of the Star Destroyer's starboard side turret? Edited September 17, 201410 yr by Chills

September 19, 201410 yr It's the explosion of a rebel ship that wasn't as lucky Oh ok, I see it now. Nicely done.
September 22, 201410 yr Author Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'm adding a comment because I finally made an LDD file and uploaded it to brickshelf, in case anyone wants to build their own frigate. It'll be here once it clears brickshelf moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=547866
