The warp engines are also simple cylinders. I didn't like the plain red bussard collectors, so I modified them by cloning a design by Spaceagent 9 onto them using Photoshop. I redrew the rear ends of the engines in Illustrator to look cleaner and more like they are glowing. I substituted toothpicks painted with gold Sharpie for the engine points that came with the model. I pushed them clear through the reinforced end cap. Once the engines were in place I put brush on super glue around the seams to further stabilize them.
