Imperial Sun Crusher



Scale: 1/76
Source: Various, including Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles & Vessels by Bill Smith

This is the Imperial Sun Crusher. Again, another ship from one of the various Star Wars novels... I spotted the design in the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels by Bill Smith. There is just SO MUCH cool stuff in that book!

Anyway - this too was cobbled together using CAD/SLA designed parts and junk from the parts box. It's approx. 1/76 scale (judging by the size of the cockpit door) and sits atop a base patterned after the Imperial Logo. Apparently the Empire sent this baby in to launch sonic torpedos that caused the target (a Star, 'natch) to implode then go super-nova... Or some such dastardly thing. And of course it's protected by special, nearly impervious armor, and 5 Ion Cannons.
