All the weathering is finished now. I flip flopped again on battle damage, and it now has blast marks on the hull.The pastels worked really well to give some subtle colour variation to the plain areas.
I glued the engines into their respective hull pieces, then threaded the wires for the landing bays through the holes and glued them in place too, before soldering all the LED circuits together, managing not to melt anything this time.
With hind sight, I was almost too ambitious with my lighting plans. It all only just fits inside.
I'm also not totally sold on the headphone jack connector idea as it seems a little flaky. I've pulled it apart once and nearly broken it trying to pull it apart a second time after the glue was dry when I thought the lights weren't working. Luckily there was minimal damage, and nothing a little superglue and paint can't fix.
Very nearly finished.
