Great 'Devastator' at AOSW exibition!
to u'all!!! I was at the exi on the second last day to try and escape d crowds ! It was really a great time for me. I was especially impressed by all the scale models present! As an ardent modeller of military vechiles, i particularly found the massive star destroyer 'Devestator'(If im not wrong, from episode 4) at the entrance to be a masterpiece. There is no model of the 'Devastator' on the market dat i know off, so it must have been entirely scratchbuilt ! Such a large scale would involve hundreds of hours to weather and detail such a subject, especially the 'stacked blocks' superstructure! It definately was a work of art, especially the detail and the washes the modeller used to highlight all the panels! Just want to say great job to the modeller!

triple vectrals on primary thruster nozzles
no protruding observation nodules on command tower
main bay: 8 transverse ribs on the long walls
secondary bay: hangar on aft wall
device akin to linear array struts is mounted on command tower forward face
huge quad cannons in the minor brim trench notches
stern triangular keel plating is further astern
tower support neck meets hull with a vertical surface
main turrets: six doublet heavy turbolaser batteries; two doublet ion cannons
ISD-IIring baffles on primary thruster nozzles
some bridge windows possibly visible on command tower
bridge panorama situated beneath thick vertical feature
main bay: 7 transverse ribs on the long walls
secondary bay: hangar on forward wall
no obvious guns in the brim trench
stern triangular keel plating is closer to ventral bulb
tower support neck meets hull with a continuous diagonal surface
main turrets: eight octet turbolaser batteries
slightly different proportions for the main hull

The earliest known vessels seen resemble Devastator, Lord Vader's flagship during the time period surrounding the construction of the first Death Star.This ship shows little luxury, with a scarcity of viewports on the forward face of its command tower, and the bridge is well hidden and protected. The primary thruster nozzles each feature triple baffle vanes, presumably for more effectively vectoring thrust particles.
No later than three years afterwards, a slightly different model of destroyer was used in Lord Vader's fleet, escorting the great command ship Executor.On this ship the linear array atop the bridge tower was almost always seen sitting entirely below the level of the scanner globes in a horizontal orientation. The triple-baffles on the primary thrust nozzles were replaced by a more slender ring baffle.[
