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.

Next we assembled and attached the sensor array to the lower saucer.

This was then attached to the upper saucer, along with the impulse engines.

This completes the saucer section for now.

Next is to start on the secondary hull.

These are the frames for the hull.


Thank you for following.

Comments and questions are always welcome.
