How to build a Tiny Death Star II with Lights!

I heard that the Emperor is personally overseeing the construction of this Death Star...

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@xaraxen Hahaha, I surely didn’t learn it from the Jedi!

And that several Bothems died providing the information.

[@Desa79]

But is it fully operational tho?

[@tonymurphy30]

That's no model, it's a space station - excellent work.

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@tonymurphy30 Hahaha, awesome compliment, thank you!

[@Colin_]

Love the look of this especially the little scraped disc to represent the surface of Coruscant.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you!

[@thisisyourcaptin]

HOLY SHIT SMEARS. I can not pick my jaw up off the floor. DUDE. You killed it. Just stunning.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you so much, Nate! What an awesome compliment!

[@DauntingGecko]

Fantastic work. If you could get a couple of small star destroyers to sit below death star at different positions then it would finish it off imo

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thanks for the compliment! I've been thinking about similar things as well, but @quadpop4643 here in the comments rightly remarked that the sheer scale of the Death Star II (also I but II is even bigger) that the would be pin points, and even the huge Executor would be around 4mm only! (Thanks for those calculations, by the way, Quadpop!)

[@Kevlar187]

Looks great! I think it would have been cool to use some type of neon rod to make it look like the death star was firing, and double as the support holding it up.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Hi Kevin. True but that would leave the dish in a different angle (pointing down) making the overall shape of the DSII less recognisable. Maybe within a box so that the support would be at the angle the dish is in, and a box because I would need to hide the wires. Options options :-)

[@id104335409]

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly exclaimed in admiration and awe.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Haha what a lovely compliment, thank you!

[@louiepenya]

This is seriously awesome! You could make this a series! If I may suggest, it would be great if you could do a clear tube at a slight angel and use that filament wire as a green laser FROM the deathstar. That way it would hide the support and make it a bit more dynamic. Great job!

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you! There are some options but I wanted something vertical, and because the laser comes from the dish, I would have to rotate the DS downwards, and then the windows would look like everything is slanted (it's not of course, because of gravity) but the outside appearance would have been weirder. I am planning something with a Star destroyer down the future, though! Hope you stay tuned!

[@pebblesthecat3625]

This is just awesome dude ! The only thing that could have made it better would have been that it slowly rotated, with a miniscule, thin, tiny, laser beam occasionally shooting out from the Death Star at random intervals. Please make another that's a little bigger, with tiny X-Wing and Tie fighters flying around the Death Star with little lasers shooting out here and there. This has so much potential for creating other buildings and crafting other ideas, it's simply an amazing idea with so much potential to do other things. Such a well made video that sent sparks of creativity through my brain while watching it - something no other video has ever done, so congratulations on doing something unique and very interesting.

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@pebblesthecat3625 thank you Pebbles! It’s very rewarding that my video inspired humans and felines alike! There are definitely things that can still be done with the death star and will probably explore them in the future. X-wings and TIE fighters are very small however. I’m actually planning a wall-mounted trench run somewhere down the line. Similar to my 1st video but now the tables have turned (oh and better quality of course) Thanks you for the compliments! Hope you like my other stuff on the channel as well!

[@keithatkins1638]

Thank you so much Keith! Happy you like it.

[@Pooldood33]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you very much!

[@tinywampa]

This came out great! I like how the lights in the Death Star are subtle and not overpowering. Its funny how you have to create something just to destroy or break it lol.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you! This technique really allows it to have a sense of scale which is really rewarding. Yes, I’ve noticed that so far this is an ongoing theme. I also destroy a freshly created TIE fighter in my previous video, haha. Curious if I can leave things whole in my upcoming video!

[@arousingfoxgaming5062]

Amazing work. I love the scratched disc!

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@arousingfoxgaming5062 Thank you! It took a little while to figure out what I was going to do with the base but I was happy with the result.

[@myartinsidestudio]

It's really great. As a Star Wars fan, I'm jealous.😁

[@OutworldAtelier]

Looking forward to your version! ;-)

[@TheFutureIsEloi]

Cool, very nice. Now, take away the pole by drilling a tiny hole in the top of the glass and putting some really light fishing line through it to hold up the deathstar. Then, replace the simple leds with addressable wrgb leds, and put an esp32 based single board computer in the base running wled. Then it would look exceptional.

[@OutworldAtelier]

That’s a pretty awesome idea!

[@squishybrain]

If you hang the Death Star from fishing line, how would you get power to the addressable LED's?

[@Yilmaz4]

@@squishybrain maybe have a laser pointing upwards from coruscant right into the death star, and then have the light scatter from within the death star to the outside evenly? seems kinda complicated but possible

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@Yilmaz4 also cool!

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@squishybrain been thinking too. You can put a button battery inside the deathstar, but that’s with the dome it would be a hassle to turn in. But I’ve been looking at maglev for a few months now, also at desk lamps that are powered through magnetic fields. There are options, but they never float more than a cm away from the power source to make it work.

All that is missing is the executor in parking orbit! Beautiful

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thanks you so much! Would be cool to have some even tinier ships with even tinier windows surrounding it!

[@quadpop4643]

@OutworldAtelier that would be hella difficult I only suggested the executor due to its size and not much else is that big and I have an expensive knowledge of STAR WARS unless your talking star forge proportions!

[@OutworldAtelier]

@@quadpop4643 True! originally I wanted the 'planet' below to have even the smallest of curvatures, but even with DS II being bigger than DS I, it's still not big enough compared to a planet to make sense.

[@quadpop4643]

@OutworldAtelier You would have to make the whole model bigger which would oddly diminish it!

I'd pay for one of those in a minute if I had the money lol

[@matthewhibbard9807]

You should make one with the stand being the beam destroying a planet.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Hi Matthew, I actually contemplated that. But then I watched this awesome video by Corridor Crew where they scale the Death Star compared to Earth. And it's pretty small. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppDXhnmVn9uHeKc . So, I went with a more 'stylistic' base instead. Since the difference is so big, I wouldn't even be able to show a planet's curvature. That said! It's a dream to make a room-sized diorama of a planet getting obliterated by the Death Star! Just to show a sense of scale. Because the Death Star is massive, but it's a tiny ball compared to a planet. And the sense of scale would make it insane and show the drama and pure devastation that thing could do.

[@matthewhibbard9807]

@ thanks for linking that. I’ll check it out. Yeah. The Death Star is small even compared to moons. Your base look great though.

[@OutworldAtelier]

Thank you Matthew! Yeah it’s a cool video.
