Here are the things you will need:

  • 15″ & 18″ pine round panels >> for saucers
  • 1′ x 3′ plywood board >> for Bird of Prey wings
  • 8 round caps >> for nacelle tips
  • 4 flat caps >> for attaching the pipe trunks to the ships, and trunks to the base
  • 3 T-connectors >> for the Enterprise

  • 3 (2 1/2″ length bolts) >> needs to go through both wooden parts of the Bird of Prey

  • 10″ L-brace
  • 8″ L-brace

  • drill (to drill holes for bolts & put bolts in)
  • ratchet wrench (to secure nuts)
