If you spray paint LEDs, you won't have stroke marks. By building up the paint, and tape off other parts, you can shape the light coming out of a single LED. 
To be somewhat Enterprising....

So I buggered up the port nacelle on the rebuild, take three....

You Hull builds have improved dramatically. II would think as you approach the highest bar, you consider using some kind of paper dope on the interior of the models to stiff them up, and get rid of any bows, or dips in the outside from developing when you put the pieces together.

Light up shots to follow once it gets dark enough
Would you believe I started this Enterprise project on the 28th July 2021? With the completion this one I don't think I'm going to build a Star Trek model for a while
(but you never know when the bug bites....)

CG you have nailed this one it looks awesome. Cant you speed up the nightfall.
And, in the darkness, light was found...
But first, some nice shots of the USS Enterprise E powered down.
