thought I would just whip this out overnight....
if you want my advice,
the two nacelle struts that run out the back,
have strips on the hidden ends, cut them off.
then you will have to mold the collar for these,
that comes off from the back end of the bridge,
around them in an almost cone-like bending action.
the flat end of the pillar struts face inside towards each other < > .

I would run off and trim the middle bottom of the saucer,
cut a slip fold in it so you have a bulge to glue on so it isn't just flat on the bottom side of the saucer.
also run off a thin strip of sensor parts,
or just black or grey,
for the seam on the top-t0-bottom part if the saucer-all the way around.
so there is room to join the saucer top and bottom. this reminds me of a federation type of bird of prey, a small scout, 22-40 crewmen,
[going by the life boat count]
and was fun to build.
here is a link to the build pics.
