One of the other mods I want to do is add an impulse engine. In one of my earlier posts I had included an image made by Andrew Probert. In that image he indicates "Impulse engines should be in a vertical slot from just below the shuttlebay wrapping around to a similar spot underneath."
The image below shows the planned cutout, I think I will look good.
The following image shows the impulse engine slot cut out. One thing of note is by cutting this section out, I am actually cutting one of the location pins used in assembly, so I glued a piece of plastic to act as location pin, but to also act as a light block from the rest of the back section.
You can see here the slot, I think its going to be good. Someplace around this place I have a scrap piece of plexiglass. I am planning on cutting a piece out that will fill this slot, I may have to shim with plastic, but once lit, I think it would be looking excellent. Which brings up a question, what color should the impulse be for Romulan Ships? I've seen yellow, not sure, what do you guys think?
I am going to be putting the windows into the sides of this thing soon. One method I saw was to use a template, sounds like a brilliant idea.
That's all for now, have to make dill templates, maybe I can get the holes before I party tomorrow night.
You all have a Happy New Years!
