If I remember correctly there was no interior bracing or anything but a hole in the engineering section for the vertical nacelle support to go in. The movie version had real problems with the structure between the nacelles and engineering hull also, due to the weight of the nacelles. and the pretty skinny attachment pylons. Trying to attach the front bridge/neck section of the TV version Klingon Battlecruiser so it wasn't sticking down at a angle in comparison to the back hull was also difficult. Remember the awful "Spock And The Two-Headed Space Snake" model? How about the wonderful detail on the insides of the "Galileo 7 Shuttlecraft"? The lack of cockpit and transparent canopy on the Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper kit was sucky also; you could get away with that on the Cylon ship due to the canopy design, but not the Viper.
I do have to agree with everyone about how ''Bad'' the Nacelles fixed themselves to the Enterprise Engineering Section it was just messed up. And i'm One of the Biggest Star Trek Fan EVER. But they have to take the Hit for things like that wit their Models. Altho I have to say that the Design for the ENTERPRISE 1701 stands out as One of the Best Sci-Fi Ships EVER Elegant-n-Practical a truly Awesome Ship
And yes the Galileo Shuttle could have had just a bit mor Detail with it .... LOL It Could have had the Option for Open Doors and a Lot more Detail inside like Phasers , a Phaser Rifle , Tri-Corders along with other Crew items and Packs Could have even thrown in a few Crew. But - Nooo , they couldn't Do That - LOL
OHH - I had the same problem with my Klingon Battle Cruiser. It wants to Tip downward just a little. But that is Just One Scary Looking Ship. That Ship just Sreams ''The Beating will Now Begin''
