Super Star Destroyer Part 1

I've completed assembling the first of the seven sets of parts.  Besides the initial frame of the SSD the first set also includes a regular star destroyer for scale and five minifigures - Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Dengar, Bossk and IG-88.

Lord Vader oversees the construction of his flagship.

The colored blocks definitely help in assembly.  Make sure you have a way to keep from misplacing the many small parts.

First Project

LEGO Super Star Destroyer

After finding out there was a Lego store about 20 minutes away I stopped by to check it out.  I probably made the sales staff's day when I bought this baby.

Unboxed

So here is what I got.  There are 7 sets of numbered bagged pieces, bags of base pieces, a decal sheet and a set of instructions the size of a coffee table book (222 pages not counting the ads in the back).
