I think this is your best one yet. The fit and finish are excellent! 
A memorial to my mum (A BRTC25 Thunder Fighter in BSG livery).

A splendid diorama of which your mother would be proud of I'm sure, nice work indeed
Thank you sir!!!I think this is your best one yet. The fit and finish are excellent!
Thank you sir! I wish my mum were still here to see it though. My mum was a influence in my early paper/cardstock model building.
Time to move on to "Wall-3" (Not to be confused with "WALL-E"!).
I decided to build it with the "garage" door in the "open" position. I also attached different lighting.
Here are the main components for the wall (two side pieces, the top piece and the "door" assembly).
The main components are assembled together, to form the wall.
These are the "door" guides (even though, there are only two in this pic. there are four in total, two for the from and two for the back).
The "door" guides are attached in place.
Here are the lights and conduits. I decided to use the same type of lights that match the rest of the lights that are on "Wall-2".
The conduits are attached in place.
The lights are attached in place.

It is time to attach the walls in place. Even though I did not show it, It is best to start with attaching "WALL-2" in place, first. Once "WALL-2" is in place and the glue has dried, you can attach the other two walls.
The Thunder Fighter, Hover Vehicle, launch rail block, and flight ladder are put in place (These items are not glued in place, as I have more work to do.)

Thank you all for the kind words!
As for the photos, I will see what I can do.

Getting better and better, I suppose the missing wall is Wall D.O as I can't spot it!
Thank you sir! I still have the ceiling to finish, as well as a few other figures and "accessories" that I still have yet to build and add to the diorama.Getting better and better, I suppose the missing wall is Wall D.O as I can't spot it!
The next thing to do is the ceiling.
Here are the main components for the ceiling. I laminated the parts to foam-core board (like I did with the walls).
These are the greebles for the top pf the lightbar. I layered these parts to 1.5mm thick.
Then assembled them accordingly.
The greebles for the top of the lightbar are attached in place.
These are the greebles for the bottom of the lightbar. I layered these parts to 1.5mm thick.
The greebles for the bottom of the lightbar are attached in place.
The lightbar is attached to ceiling frame.
The ceiling is put in place (I did not glue it in place. It is just sitting on the walls).
Yes, I know that the ceiling is slightly bowed. However, I am not going to worry about it.

Fantastic work! I love it! And don't worry about the bowing, it barely shows and might settle down a bit
