Soldering in close quarters. Using little screwdriver to stolid wires in. Did one circuit at a time. Each engine has 8 circuits. I still need to hook up the main controller (all those wires coming out the front.) 8 of them tee off to each engine. A whole conduit full power the shuttle bay and the rest are hull lighting.
Major progress today. Super duper unbalanced on the stand. Using diving weight to keep it from flipping over. Glued with 3M structural adhesive. It’s white so I think I can go in like caulk and fill the light leaks.
Not too thrilled with the paint job on the engines. I thought about sanding it all down but gave in after likely a total of 25 hours in the construction and painting. Enough!
