Lepin Super Star Destroyer

I purchased this lego clone Super Star Destroyer recently from AliExpress (the Chinese eBay), as a early Christmas present to myself, all 3,000+ pieces of it.

Will post pics as I build it.

The quality seems fine. I'm not noticing anything significant. The lack of lego logo is the only thing of note. Bricks are conecting together fine. Instructions are full colour, A3 sized ring bound.
Minifigures are excellent.

So far so good.

Minifigures. Haven't found Dengars hips yet hence the gap between legs and body.

Missing minor pieces and extra other pieces does happen but for a tenth of the price of Lego you cant complain and can always use Bricklink website to get any missing bits.

Elliott, apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I will weigh it when it's complete (halfway there and it weighs a kilogram or so at the moment).

Here is a link to the facebook public page of the build.
It is the main page for updates of it.

Halfway there and it is a monster! 4 foot long!
