Thank you DD and Jason 
I decided to start working on the main hangar bay. I had to recreate the supports for the I beams. While they were all scratchbuilt on the ILM model, I just built 10 masters because I ran out of half rods to make them :

The first batch of parts (sorry for the color, I had to tweak it quite a bit because it was white resin on white plexi... not a good idea
) :

Took me 5 hours to align them and glue them all... That's not perfect but that's at least as good as the original model if not better :

Ive also built the rear bulkhead and started to detail it... Because of the lack of good ref, those are the only parts I was able to ID :

Dry fit :

The I-beam are on the way but I dont expect them before 2-3 weeks...
Thanks for looking !
