Thanks guys! Made some more progress...
Added some "stops" to the wing hinge tracks so the wings have a set angle during the landed position:




Figured out a good home for the battery. It will be removable and stay in place via the magic of friction!


Got the holes in the landing bay doors so the feet can slip in:



The canopy didn't quite fit properly so I added some styrene to flush it out:


Also detailed up the cockpit. There will be an LED in the back for the boarding ramp but will shine though to illuminate the cockpit panels, etc.



Also made up a neat little Vader from the Hoth Base kit. He'll sit on the boarding ramp so when it lowers his shadow will be cast.


Hinge for the boarding ramp. I still need to engineer something that will slide out...

The assembly begins...



A little filling needed here and there:

Did some work with the engine LEDs. Unfortunately they are not wide angle...I neglected to make that request when the circuit was made.
But I figured out a decent alignment and diffusion method. I just sanded the heck out of the LED domes to rough em up.


I silvered some plastic to build up a light box around the LED array. Hopefully it will bounce the light around enough.


Got the top wing LED in place, too. And some strips to fill in the wire tracks.


Really coming along nicely now...hoping to keep the momentum!!!
