I've attempted a bit of paper modeling in the past so I know how much work this represents and totally respect. Keep those update coming....

Good evening.
Time for an update on the Space Dock & Refit build.
I have started on the build of the Refit.
First up is the construction of the center ring of the saucer section.

Then we start the construction of the upper and lower saucers.

The hardest part here was figuring out how to get the shape of the lower saucer with a single piece, and a single seam. This require scoring along the required panel lines, prefold the surface in the direction of the fold. Then glue the seam one section at a time.
Then to glue the saucer sections to the centre ring.
