hey guys, thanks for your replies!
yup, the pylons look alike, but there pretty easy to keep appart: the lower ones have holes in them for the stand, the upper ones, well, dont. hehe..
i glued in the upper ones, and, i must say its really not that bad after all, no shimming was required. After i glued in the pylons, there were small gaps; what i did was, apply some presure on them with clamps, and applied some glue in the remaining gaps, after both parts got soft again due to the glue, the clamps forced the pylons to sink in place. doesn't look too bad really..
nuf said, here's some WIP pics..
thanks for looking..
once i have the lower pylons in place i'll post some more pics..
and then we can finally start the never ending discussion on DS9's colors.. ;D
