Bit or work on the secondary Hull.

Lower side and edge strips went on.

Few issues with the upper part tho.
  • The 2mm Card backbone turned out to be a bit "proud" so needed cutting back - a fiddly little task!
  • The Hull section that sits on top of the backbone was very tricky to stick down, tool ages and I had to do a little at a time and hold it down (in the background of the pics you'll see I was watching DS9 whilst waiting for the glue to dry!
About 2 hours of fiddly work!

Love seeing this build thread!!! Making it come together!!!
Thank you

If I had it to build again ( which hopefully I will when the nebula versions released) I think I'd use 2mm foam board instead of 2mm Card. The D is top heavy at the best of times but the huge card disc in the saucer makes it a lump

That has to be one to the cleanest Starship builds I've seen. It must be extremely sturdy. Very impressive!!! :)
