Midi-scale Executor: inside
I've gotten many requests for midi-scale Executor instructions, which has now been (mostly) addressed by fellow flickr user davidkfraser who has built a nearly identical Super Star Destroyer in LDD:

This has started a discussion of the differences between his model and mine (particularly the interior A-frame), which has finally gotten me to pull the superstructure off my Executor and take some pictures for you guys. :D
-----------------
So here it is: my messy Technic A-frame. It is designed to be as thin as possible (keeping the ship from being too tall) and to allow me to build everything with studs-out, including the bottom. Unfortunately I don't have the angle quite right, which is why there is such a gap between the hull plates. I think I had the angle just right at one point, but then extended the length of the model (forcing me to adjust the A-frame) and the Technic math just doesn't quite work out. I may give davidkfraser's clips and plates A-frame a try, though I'm wary of disassembly any of this thing!
