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

 

[zathros]

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

 

[Cybergrinder]

I just noticed that the bridge is slightly out of line with the impulse engines! (or maybe camera angle?) Will have to check when I get home...

 

[Cybergrinder]

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:



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

 

[zathros]

You really have those discs down. It looks great!!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Thanks Zathros, I have to say that I'm quite happy with the results, the "less is more" concept when gluing (i.e.: only the edges )

These pics look great!:Bravo: :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!rinks:

Very impressive and clean!

Maybe this is the Mirror-Mirror universe Enterprise????


They recreate on the wrong side of the ship?

 

[Cybergrinder]

Maybe I'll add a goatee?

Anything but shoe polished Klingons!

I must be missing something there....

I prefer the female officers in the mirror universe!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Awesome!

John Colicos, for example, it looked like his face was polished with a #2 Brown. : Star Trek TOS, shoe polished vs. Battlestar Galactica TOS,not shoe polished.

Ok, let me klingon to my build thread!

Nope, it's all good, after all I (with @DanBKing ...) have pun-ched into everyone elses

Ok I guess that clears that up.

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

Looking good!! Not an easy model at all to build.
