I've begun working on the warp drive
section. This is not what the instructions would have me do
(they'd rather have me assemble the engineering section first, then
the warp section), I'm doing this because all the wires are going to
connect in the middle (main engineering, humorously enough), so it
needs to be assembled last. I'll probably put together one
half of that section while I wire everything up, then put on the
other half to finish the project.
As it is, this is going to be a very
complicated step. I intend to work section by section, from
the outside in:
- starboard warp nacelle
- starboard warp strut
- port warp nacelle
- port warp strut
- center (shuttle bay)
That way all the wires from the
nacelles and struts can meet in the middle. When that
section's completed, there will be a boatload of wires sticking out
the back just like the saucer section, and these will all converge
in Main Engineering.
