I am going to build a 9" Flying Saucer using the Dish Section of the AMT USS Yamaguchi for the main Body. I am getting Martians and other Details from the Pegasus Alpha Centauri UFO Kit. I will probably add Lights later.
I needed to add some thickness to the Ring so I glued 2 Strips, that are half as thick as the first 2, over the first 2 Strips.
That was the thickness I needed for a good fit. Next I glued the Top on to the bottom of the Disc. With these modifications and the UFO Saucer Sections in place, the Interior Height of the Saucer is now an inch Taller. The UFO Sections are not glued in yet.
Here is a photo of the Underside. I am going to use Quarter and Half-Round Strips to finish the outer Edge. I glued 2+ Quarter-Round Strips to the underside of the "Overhang" of the Top of the Dish, all the way around.
Here is the Top side of the Dish. Next I glued 2+ Half-Round Strips to the Edge, right under the Quarter-Round Strips.
The Side View. Now that the Strips are in place, they kind of remind me of Bumper Car Bumpers.
