This is just getting better and better, Peter. Way over my head with the lights and wiring, but fascinating to see it come together! I think I'd be scared if one of the connections wasn't correct and you found out after the pieces were glued shut...

Now I am starting the shuttle bay I should have painted the deck a lighter grey as you can see the decal is hard to see IMG_20230317_111506.jpg
But after a quick repaint it looks better but still a few mistakes but being at the back I won't be seen IMG_20230317_133340.jpg

I am putting this on hold for the moment as I have run out of certain colours of wire plus one wire has come detached from the pylon lighting until I figure out a way to putting back on considering I have already joined them up
