Lego Death Star: A Saga part IV – A New Hope…
Here we are, the final stretch, box 4, bag set 7, and what a lot of bags there are…
All laid out, this is what it contains, lots and lots of small pieces in here
A small work area on the top floor, above the Hangar
A lift for Tie Fighters
Speaking of…
The Control room for the Death Ray
Rotate the desk left or right to aim the beam, turning the knob in the desk moves it up and down
The Command Room
A light for the Detention Block
Turrets for the defense against X-Wings, here they are not connected to the aiming mechanism, a bar network under the floor links the two so they move together, the guns move up and down individually by the knob on the side of the turret
Building the final walls, these are quite intricate using more flat bricks than standard to build it up
The Central Lift being inserted into the shaft.
The lift mechanism in the workroom
The finished Product shots
All up a very fun and challenging build that I would recommend to any one, it has a lot of techniques in the building that would help with developing ideas for kids to make more complex models themselves.
40 centimeter diameter makes it a rather big unit, but it packs a lot of play areas into the whole construction.
I’d happily recommend to anyone interested to get it, but do source it from a cheaper retailer than locally or direct from Lego.
Sidebar:
A set this size as with most Lego sets has a piece or two left over, this is what was left on the Death Star
