OOOhhh! An Impstar Deuce! Noice one.

When do you start on the Executor/Lusankya? I'd pay to see a 1:1000 scale model of an SSD. That would still make it about 7m long ....

Hangs them from his ceiling with fishing line like a schoolboy I bet (I did for 20 years for some of them... had a Vickers Viscount, Vought Corsair, Bristol Beaufighter, Sopwith Camel and a Mitsubishi Zero all hanging from my beams as akid - Dad did those - most were 1/32 Revell kits)

Most of the kits I built as a kid were Airfix and they came with the fancy little stand gizmo so I had a bookshelf where they were proudly on display. From memory here are the kits I built 1/72 scale:
- Sopwith Camel
- Fokker Triplane (Baron Von Richtofen)
- Supermarine Spitfire
- Vaught Corsair (aka Black Sheep Squadron)
- Handley Page Halifax
- P51 Mustang
- Focke-Wulf 190
- Junker JU87 Stuka
- Junkers JU88
- P38 Lightning
- Mosquito
- B17 Flying Fortress
- B29 Super Fortress
- F4 Phantom
Sadly all gone now

Oh, and the design is loosely based on this Harrowfront. Mind you, it wouldn't be science fiction if I didn't use my pretty wild imagination to good use & 'bend' (more like warp!) the blueprints a tad & add in extra's

Funny thing is... What's with the sloping roofs - it doesn't rain in space

Its also designed like a battleship, as if all attacks will be from the front and the top... But there is no 'top' in space... Weird...

Update.

Had a slight accident in the nose department so I've had to repair it by adding another section over the top. I've not finished that bit yet. Length is right on 1M with that piece added

Plenty to come yet

OK! That's the bulk of it done. Now comes a few months of fine detail
