I'm going to skip the blow-by-blow account of the building of the USS Enterprise and the Gr'Oth - build logs for Constitution and D7 class ships are presented in other posts.Once again I'm using Glen Jupp's version of the Enterprise and I'm using Spaceagent-9's design for the Gr'Oth. The design for Deep Space K-7 that I settled on is D-Whale's. The instructions are very comprehensive and it's been a straightforward build so far. My thanks to all three designers 
.
Starting with the upper module of the central column, the parts are as shown:-
I didn't have a great deal of contrast between the shade of the disc and the shade of card I was printing on, so I had to do a lot of re-trimming and dry-fitting to achieve a good fit. I also omitted the three small, internal supports as they're not really necessary at my scale.
Continuing to build the upper module required these additional parts:-
The dome on the bottom of the cylinder at the side was particularly intricate, but the blunt end of my modelling knife provided a perfect base for shaping these tiny pieces.
The next stage is the lower module of the central column:-
I've been building the Gr'Oth while waiting for glue to dry on the station - I've built so many D7s now that I can practically do it blindfolded 
. I'm also going to use a previously built Enterprise since I now have three at this scale!

. I used my ACME Shrink-O-Matic and put them all in the Gr'Oth 
) to the curve. The space station was mounted (fairly) centrally with the Enterprise and Gr'Oth circling on opposite sides. There are no lights this time I'm afraid - there just isn't room inside K-7 and the amount of fibre optics needed would make it look like a demented jellyfish
