Project - DS-1 Orbital Battle Station Pt.1

The Making of a Death Star, Part 1:

Minecraft SMP on the Reddit server (c.nerd.nu)

Lately I've been playing around on the SMP server c.nerd.nu. This is a creative server, so I got creative. There are also other servers run by nerd.nu, so go on over and visit their site to learn more. The below YouTube video shows two of my creations in BigTown - a giant Paddle Pop and a strand of DNA.

Australia Day!

So, today is Australia day, so for Australia day I went ahead and created a giant Australian flag. This flag is 100x50m, so that's 5000 blocks!

Player Skin - Superman

So here's one of my other player skins. The title says it all. You can download the skin from: http://minecraftwb.com/

Project - Logo in Minecraft

So, I've got another project in the works, too; to create the Cube Root of Creation logo in Minecraft!

This might seem easy, but I will be doing it using dyed wool - and legitimately, no inventory editing. I will need a whole bunch of ink sacks, bonemeal, roses and dandelions. I will also be starting this project on a new world and videoing the whole thing. Below is a picture of the logo I will be using as reference for creating the final product in-game.

YouTube Channel now up!

Project - DS-1 Orbital Battle Station

So, with my previous project complete, it's time to start a new one. This time it's going to take a bit longer to complete.

I'll be starting a 1:1000 scale Death Star. Most sources say the first Death Star is approximately 140km in diameter. However, I will be working with the diameter of 163km, making the radius of my in-game version 81.5 blocks. This will allow me to have a single centre block when I start to construct the sphere.

I will also create DS-2 (as seen in Return of the Jedi) on my way to completing DS-1.

I'll be working with a Google SketchUp model I found as my main reference, along with a few pictures seen below.
