Also, I used material that was all destined to be recycled or thrown out, and with the exception of white spray paint and styro-foam craft balls, I had everything on hand to make it.  So, the basic structure is heavy corrugated cardboard, lighter cardboard for the detailing on the conning tower and &#8216;sandwich filler&#8217; greeblies,   a packing tube for the engine nozzles (sawed into three pieces), cereal box cardboard for lighter details, duct duct tape, masking tape, and a lot of carpenter glue.  All told, it took about three days (including one very late night to do the detailing), and I now have templates worked out for the overall structure.  It has an internal support structure (one center piece running down the middle with &#8216;ribs&#8217; about every 5&#8243;), and the overall length is shy of three feet.  As far as making ships of this scale, it was a relatively quick build-up and a great weekend project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Templates not included in the link, unfortunately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Destroyer made from Cardboard.
