Well i've got most of the build finished today, except for deciding what to do about the hopeless fitting for the laser cannons, you can start to see the shape of her now. ;D

I tested the lighting rig out and it worked better than expected, i had to fix some light leak in the engines but a quick coat of squadron green fixed that right up.

This has left me with a small problem to work out.
If i'm to fit the engines properly i need to fit the two halfs of the hull together first, but of course once i do that i cant get inside to wire up the engines to the rest of the wiring loom! ???
Also i cant decide if it would be easier to paint the enigines fitted to the ship or free of the ship?
Which of course leads me back to the problem of wiring up the engines if the hull is already assembled. :

Next model i light i will fit conectors on the LED fly leads and make up a small PCB to just plug them onto for ease of final build.

Oh well my modelling holiday comes to an end, back to work tomorrow. It's been nice just having plenty of time this week to spend working on this but i expect i'll slow up now with Xmas and work. :-\

Have a good weekend....whats left of it.
