Awesome progress! I would suggest for the warp nacelle cap effect to add some green and red blinking “Christmas lights”. If you are not going to have the turning fan effect, at least the colored lights will add a touch of mysterious energy processes and be similar to the original effects. Great progress and it is always a joy to hear your thought process in developing these models… 😃🖖

Good idea moving the pool down to give space for other priorities off the shuttle bay. Now you can have both a partial hanger bay and mini med-bay. That light has a better effect than I'd have expected, but the little bursts or swirls of color could be effected by using a ring of individually addressable multicolor LEDs in a couple rows around that light bulb set to a relatively random pattern to fade up and out with the appropriate different colors. A little diffusion might be required too if too much shows through the translucent nacell dome. When I had to pause earlier (about the 13:30 mark) and came back to finish watching, it looked like you had built a spacedock maintenance corridor from the side of the table out toward the 1:100, but I realized it was the other model's nacell sitting perpendicular to the other ship. It went through my mind, "where'd that come from, he didn't say anything about a spacedock"?

Could bring additional quarters up to higher levels as well. Don't know if it would be simpler to permanently mount the light fixture and make the nacelle end cap removeable with a few magnets for maintenance.
