Continuing on with the Light Cruiser, I now tear into the fifth parts bag of the set.
Here, the build starts becoming more interesting: the central structure and bridge section.
The assembly is built up using many SNOT pieces, slopes and tiles. Quite a bit of the final exterior detail is put into place at this point.
The only real challenging part is in getting the bridge window decals (stickers?) precisely aligned and applied.
After this build is completed, I plan on devoting a post here on the blog to the method I use for the fine art of attaching stickers to LEGO parts.
One cool feature I found with this new bridge section is that it serves as a very sturdy carrying 'handle' for the model, since it is built onto a strong Technic assembly embedded in the ship's structure.
