Hey y'all
I bought the lego imperial star destroyer a couple of months ago to display because I love to glaze at an Imperial star destroyer. After a while I realised that the set 6211 really lacks in detail. So I thought I would mod it to make it look better. So I started browsing some pictures of the imperial star destroyer to get some ideas.
I then came across the UCS Imperial star destroyer and remembered it existed. I then realised that my 6211 SD would never look as epic as this one. So I went to rebrickable to see how many pieces I already had. I have 69% . But I didn't want to destroy my at-at 4483 so now I still have 67%
I printed the parts list and started collecting the pieces I need and circled the ones I still have to buy from bricklink.
I then realised I only have 1356 pieces. thats about 33%.
So I have to buy a lot more. I made a wanted list from the pieces I need and started looking for the stores to buy the pieces from.
The total cost is about 450€ which I will gladly pay for an epic star destroyer.
I won't buy pieces that are 30€ per piece, so I just bought them in a different color and I will just paint them. That saved me a lot of money. I didn't buy the tan magnet holders because they are 20€ per piece and I need 14 of them, so I'll just buy a different kind of holder.
I won't buy the pieces for the tantive IV, I'll just make it with the pieces I have.
I now only have to pay some stores and then the waiting game can begin.
Thanks for reading.
(can somebody tell me how to upload a picture? )
