It appears the warp engines are offline, sir...
The top of the nacelle done, you can see the resemblance to the Voyager nacelle
And this one is botched, starting again...

Here we go, the nacellle joined
And the nacelle complete, with a comparison with Voyager's nacelle
Before you can attach the saucer, you need to do one of two things, and this depends how you built the saucer.
The part circled sits inside the saucer, so you either cut into your saucer or cut it off. Since I reinforced the "floor" of my saucer with pretty thick cardboard I opted for the latter.
And she is done!
I have to say I really enjoyed this build, lots of greeble opportunity, nice clear parts and overall a good looking model
(If I do say so myself )
I remember reading that the Ambassador class was supposed to show the transition from the TOS/TMP Enterprise to the D shape, and I think they did it pretty well, but could have made a bit more reference to the B. (unless you want to count the squared nacelle pylons?)
Onwards to the D!

Thanks guys,
Here we have the parts (minus windows) for the bottom of the saucer

This was a great job! Your grueling loss exceptional and really sells the kit!
So here's how I reinforce the saucers;
First I glue strips along the gluing edges;
I find the outer ring which is flat, and the innermost part (usually flat but not on the D) and cut out a ring from some card
I cut it a bit smaller to allow for the angled rim pieces, and ther we go
