I still remember that sense of awe that I felt during my first viewing of The Empire Strikes Back when the Super Star Destroyer was revealed. We all knew the colossal scale of the Star Destroyer, and when they showed a fleet them all being dwarfed, first by shadow, then by the ship, my jaw dropped. This was a ship of immense scale, and this build by Fabrice Neaud is pretty immense in it's own right. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Want to hear something weird? I have something strangely in common with this MOC by vitreolum... I was the clouds in the movie Cabin Boy. Way back in the early 90's my friend Tony Gardner was doing the makeup for the film, and they needed someone with an expressive face, so naturally they thought of me (the human cartoon). I'll refer you to this old episode of Movie Magic for more info. A self imposed challenge on this MOC was a curved, studless sail. I'd say challenge accepted, and conquered.
