Filled the nacelles with card board to give them stability (anti-squeezing technologyXD) and counterbalance bit the heavy saucer section.
Prepared the layer greebling.
Assembled the port nacelle. Repeated that for the starboard nacelle.
Attached the nacelles, making sure to align them as perfect as I can do it.
Glued them on with ordinary glue, correcting the alignment and when I was satisfied I used super glue on the joint edges to "lock them in" and to strengthen the joint between nacelle and pylon. The nacelles and for tos generation fed ships the necks are always the delicate attachments. I like to reinforce them with super glue but have to make sure they are properly aligned before applying the super glue. Otherwise you will have problemsXD
The ship stands on my metallic pincer. I put a small magnet on the inner buttom side of the engineering section for later display stand options
I really like the model. It is easy to build, you can greeble a lot, despite the small scale, I think it is quite true to the original (as I said I did not watch the series that much, but I used many reference pics for the build) and with enough reinforcement on the inside and superglued nacelles I think it is swooshable and even a kid could play with it if it is a bit careful.
Maybe I could even throw it against a wall, don't knowXD Will never know!
