Now we will do the first part of step 18 which attaches the cardstock end caps to the warp drive tubes. The second part will deal with attaching the cardstock disks for the bridge on the main deck piece, which we will cover in step 18 part 2.
These cardstock pieces have a wax coating on one side to give them a slight "shine" but that can interfere with a good glue joint, and since we are going to be glueing another piece on top the discs on the front of the warp tubes, I decided to "scuff" the surface of the two front discs. In this picture you can see the difference of before and after "scuffing". Be sure not to over do it; we just want a good glue joint
Here we see one of the rear discs attached. One other thing I did was to dab a little CA glue around the edges of the disc to seal it and also harden it for sanding. I had to sand the edges of the discs a little to eliminate a couple of areas of overhang.
Here we have all of the discs attached. Next up, attaching the cardstock discs for the bridge to the main deck piece.
