Thank you Scratchy! Should be lights soon and to that end:
Originally I examined the kit pieces and saw that they were trying to emulate the "bulbous" appearance at the front of the nacelles. For all I know the original studio model might have used "bulbs" up there. It's not a simple 'half-sphere'.
I did try to separate the glass bulb of an automotive lamp from the metal base and cracked a few. So, frankly I gave up on that idea. But it's always bothered me?
Well, over sixteen bulbs later I have finally done exactly that. Two, from nearly twenty attempts but I think it will look better.
