    I’m now planning on building a display coffee table for it. Done some research on materials and structure. Now to actually make a start.
    If you are lazy there is a ikea glass table that this will fit just dont put the glass doors in.

    Yeah I saw that, the Sammanhang coffee table. Enclosed display is a must for me unfortunately, I have a cat who sheds like its going out of fashion and if I don’t enclose it, it will look like Chewbacca moulted all over it.

    I finally had the coffee table done to display my UCS Falcon. Acrylic cover with Australian oak base. Professionally made, all up it cost about $1100. Pricey, but well worth it as a centrepiece in the living room.

    And if the hit to the wallet wasn?t enough, a re-issue of the UCS Star Destroyer has been rumoured and is looking very likely: https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/statu...010565635?s=20

    Tidy! Would you consider getting an LED light kit for it?

    Probably not, I can?t see myself switching them often enough to make the effort worthwhile

    Just occurred to me that the acrylic cover would need to be removed each time you wanted to switch on the LEDs.
