Estes Klingon Battle Cruiser, #1274, Build Part 11, Warp Drive Assembly




This shot from the instructions shows how the warp drive is assembled.
A small BT-2 body tube is glued inside the two halves for strength.

The line at the pylon cut out notch isn't straight. This area has to be removed, see the next picture.
I'll use a straight edge to get a cleaner, straight cut.



As careful as I was cleaning up the two drive halves, the edges don't meet up with the BT-2 tube inside.




I'll cheat on this one by sanding down the wall thickness.
The tube will be compressed to fit inside the two sides. More on next post -
