Looking very good Jim. The patience and care that are so evident in your other models is certainly showing here.

Thank you DC and Elliott.
This is another model where one has to keep their thinking cap on.

Good evening.
Time for an update. I've been slowly working to the point where we can close in the upper saucer.      At this point I thought it would be a good idea to add more of the surface details.  With those out of the way, it was time to start on the first command deck.    Before the back of this deck can be sealed down. Two supports, which were layered onto thicker card had to be installed along the edge of the opening for the hanger bay.  The back could now be glued down. This next bit became a bit of a puzzle, the hanger bay and it's associated pieces around it. I spent 2 days working out the logistics. The graphic for the back of the bay had to have the slot lengthened up to the graphic, inorder for it to fit in. Next applied a thin strip of card along the bottom of the graphic to support the hanger deck. The back piece was then shaped and the hanger deck glued to the back piece. When dry this assembly was then inserted into the hanger bay opening, only gluing the deck itself down.   The other thing I did was to draw in the missing lines where the engines go.  On to the 2nd command deck. Some thing here bothered me. Upon looking at the studio model, the side wall over hang was too long. It should end just past the hanger. So it was cut back.  Then proceeded to install the side walls. I will cut these back after they dry.   This is where I am at tonight. Thank you for following. Questions and comments welcome.
