Space, the final frontier..... He's dead, |Jim.

After much soldering, swearing and fingertip burns, the wiring is done!

The came putting the top together, cut & paste stuff

And then attached to the support structure, impulse engines not completely attached as the rim needs to be done before you can glue properly

That is one nice looking saucer section. It's so clean. I really like the strong interior framework. This model will endure! :)

So I checked, and the bridge is about 2mm out of line with the impluse engines. OCD is wonderful!

Moving on, (arranges pen & mouse to align perfectly) got the rim attached

and noticed rather a big boo-boo. I glued the rec room on the port side, it should be starboard! :frak::hammerhead::realmad:

So, rather than rebuild the whole thing (the rooms have to be glued to the support structure), I "flipped" the windows :). Ok, so it's not to the blue prints but I'll live :)

Bottom of the saucer was then done - more "cut & paste" stuff, just have to watch the folds to that they match the structure

These pics look great!:Bravo::bowdown::bowdown: :King: As to the rec rooms only a few select few would ever quibble about that.;) I'm certainly not one of those people!:)

Great Job!:Drinks:

Things progressing quite nicely, if a bit slowly :)

Saucer section attached, alignment is a bit tricky...

Then the "cuff" for the pylons. These are best attached to the secondary hull before it's closed off.

Two ways you can do these, either assemble around the support or glue part 6 (see the instructions :)) afterwards

And now the pylon itself

And then the starboard pylon

Work on the first warp nacelle has started :)
