Then follow the way of this guy. He really knows his stuff. And I'm saying it as a modeller myself.

Oh, BTW - don't forget that he makes them from scratch!

I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

he's pretty good, no doubt. but there are a LOT of subtle innaccuracies in his Star Wars models. If you want to see some really amazing stuff, check out the "studio scale" section of the Replica Prop forum (therpf.com). There are guys who scratch build exact replicas of the filming miniatures from all sorts of films (including LOTS of star wars). Some of these guys are just crazy with their accuracy, knowing EXACTLY which parts from which off-the-shelf-kits that ILM cannabolized when making the original filming models. the amount of knowledge on that forum is just awe-inspiring.
