You are off to a GREAT START with this project. I am looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
Tie Interceptor by Uhu02
- Thread starter snake7
- Start date
Loving all the Tie-ins recently, very nice start to the Interceptor
Thanks pals!
Solar Ionization Reactor
Another helpful solution from Uhu02
This harmonic strip will help to center reactor's conus part at its place
Reactor ready and attached to dome

That "Sphere" is quite awesome. I'd called it a "world's sphere". 
Now some details with lamination method. I retouch edges with light grey for more effect, though it's almost white
In addition, made solar panel arms and attached them on place with help of device provided by Uhu02

Must you make everything so perfect. The bar is so high now, it's actually gotten longer, due to the decrease of gravity, and will soon leave orbit, meaning a new Bar will have to be purchased, and they aren't cheap!
I see you have a great start.
That sphere is an example of great skill.
Looks good!!!

I continue with solar panels.
Base laminated from five pieces. Each side eventually will have seven layers + solar panels themselves
Uhu02 also gave template to keep right angles
I have a little experience working with large areas, so it was challenging to glue them together straight and keep that way. Almost ruined one side but pulled it off somehow.
Used regular white glue, just dozed it by little along the edges and in the center.
Layer after layer it hardened and straightened itself by line
Next outer skins and solar panels.
Each solar panel piece had its own frame 1 mm in thickness, so I used old trick, which also turns out to be the one Uhu02 used:
first cut inside of frame and glue the piece underneath. Then cut on outer lines and done. This saves one round of cutting and fiddling piece to glue.
Parts ready
Glued in place
