Okay,
After many put-offs and procrastinations, we finally have a progress update on the Odysseus.
Using a "blinking" LED circuit for the running lights, I've installed them into the ship. I've also run fiber optics to the LEDs to make getting them into position a little easier, and save on running more LEDs.
(The video, I'll be honest, covers what I did in better detail.)
I've also used 5-minute epoxy to cement the Aeroshuttle bay into place in the lower hull.
In a change of plans, I tied the yellow LEDS from the bay piece into the flashing circuit while keeping the red ones steady

With the bay in place, making sure the main hull lights still work

Used some Aves Apoxie Sculpt to close the gaps where the Aeroshuttle bay joins the hull.

Cemented the two halves of the main hull together, and fired up a light test.
