So I managed to get some work done on my 1/2500 Cadet Series USS Enterprise 1701. There really aren't a lot of parts with this kit, but the seams are horrendous!!

And here is a mock-up with the saucer section & warp nacelles placed on the secondary hull:
Yes, it's sitting on a clothes pin.
I filled the Secondary Hull with 2-part epoxy putty so the support rod will have something to go into, then it will be placed on a Delta Quadrant Federation base.
