I built the plastic version a few years ago and I offer you 2 photos to compare this very beautiful and impressive achievement. Bravo!
I'm glad you like the thread! I look forward to seeing you build in the future and I'd be happy to let you know anything I've learned (not that I'm Any expert)

Well, my priority was they lined up and looked correct, so i put a load of glue on the nacelle and pylon and held the nacelle in place so it glued in the correct place, but not flush to the pylon (see pic). it means there is a gap but wonky nacelles would have bugged me!! Had the model been plastic I would have put some kind of putty in the gap but don't have a simple "Card" solution to fill gaps

Paper putty
Years ago, my grandfather use to do carpentry as a hobby. He would save all of the saw dust during (and after) his projects. If he needed any wood putty, he would take some of the saw dust and mix in some wood glue to the thickness that he needed and then use it to fill in the hole, gap, or what...

Glad you liked it.When the pdmccool Runabout surfaced I was floored. The amt model had long been sold out like the Revellogram Voyager and the Thunderfighter so the paper version was the only one to go. I was online at the local library almost every day in order not to miss the release (I had no internet at home back then). It's great to see this being built.
These are the "latches" that keep the center pod attached to the rest of the ship, as the Runabout was originally designed to be modular. I designed them in this odd shape because they needed a thicker shap than just layering card stock could achieve.
Hey Rosco, great to see you again here! I hope you are doing fine.
