Sadly it doesn’t, that’s just the join between sections - I did look into it, but couldn’t find a way that would simultaneously hold it firmly together, let it detach when needed, and be invisible from the outside.
It’s quite a big model and really front-heavy thanks to how much saucer there is, so it had to all be one piece really
Is this all really one piece like it looks?
It’s made from a few sections - saucer, 2 piece neck, engineering hull, pylons, dictated by the sizes of timber I had
It looks like the saucer might detach, as it should!
