Hey there! I just discovered your channel and this moc is really awesome. I really like that you add the cantina, bathroom and rooms for the crew, it really gives it an special touch!
Historically the hulls of imperial vessels would be more heavily armoured than those of the rebel alliance. Therefore a weaker shield generator would often be utilized, but yes it still has shields. Because of that a well placed proton torpedo could probably leave the ship vulnerable to enemy fire, so i prefer to have a TIE-figther escort brought along.
Hmm im not to good with stop motion and my setup probably isn't suitable for making stop motion films, but you never know in the future :) thanks for the feedback.
