I would guess that I'd have to do it virtually, or figure out how to buy my

Geoff,
Well, according to my 1997 Star Wars "The Vehicles" Calendar the Death Star
is (was) 160 km in diameter. So using Mr. Eaton's convertor with one minifig
at six feet you get a diameter of 459317.59 studs!! (Actual scale size would
then be 2.28 miles (3.67 km)!!

Let me know when you have all the bricks to start this puppy,
Peter
