Rotate the desk left or right to aim the beam, turning the knob in the desk moves it up and down

Turrets for the defense against X-Wings, here they are not connected to the aiming mechanism, a bar network under the floor links the two so they move together, the guns move up and down individually by the knob on the side of the turret

Building the final walls, these are quite intricate using more flat bricks than standard to build it up

All up a very fun and challenging build that I would recommend to any one, it has a lot of techniques in the building that would help with developing ideas for kids to make more complex models themselves.
40 centimeter diameter makes it a rather big unit, but it packs a lot of play areas into the whole construction.
I’d happily recommend to anyone interested to get it, but do source it from a cheaper retailer than locally or direct from Lego.

Sidebar:
A set this size as with most Lego sets has a piece or two left over, this is what was left on the Death Star
