I was learning to build spheres out of LEGO pieces when I decided to do something challenging. I also had a slight affinity for Star Wars and when LEGO started producing Star Wars sets, that affinity only grew. One day something clicked, and I started collecting gray plates. Soon I came up with the Death Star II.
