Taking a guess here, Cylon mother ship? Looking great though!

And now the underside of the saucer

So wiring complete for the saucer

And here a branded frisbee. Oh, wait. The top of the saucer section :)

Finally the saucer, here are the internal supports with the applicable LEDs, and required cut outs where required. I've mounted the supports slightly off centre so that I don't weaken the vertical supports for the positioning of the running light LEDs. You can also see where I miscalculated the...

Warp nacelles complete, now the torpedo launcher Attached with the neck I was a bit worried about the strength of the pylons, so some additional support added in the shape of stirring sticks :)

So due to some wiring issues (and lots of swearing) complicated by my girlfriend moving out... Don't worry, we're still together, long, complicated story. I had to rebuild the entire circuit. This probably was a blessing is disguise since the alignment of the internal support with warp pylons...

Wiring complete And he front of the secondary hull, had to be attached first since I chose this as the "access point" for the power supply

So, secondary (mostly) complete, here's the inner support ready to be wired and the shell for once complete
