In this step we attach the little cardstock panel details to the warp drive tubes. I think these add a lot to the overall appearance of the warp engines, and they are extremely easy to glue on.
As in previous steps dealing with the attachment of small details, I'm using CA glue due to it's quick drying properties and good adhearance for paper to paper joints. In the above picture we've just attached the rear panel pieces.
Since we masked these panel areas off when we primered the tubes there is good paper to paper contact for the glue joint. When attaching these front panel details, their is an additional marking guide to align them symetrically with the support pylons.
And here we see the forward panels all attached. The next step is another one that is not in the kit instructions, but will make attaching the end pieces onto the warp tubes a lot easier with that time comes.
Very nicely done Don - please try to contact me off-line at my email address on my webpage.
