Galaxy Class
The color for the deflector array was really hard. Eventually, though (like after a decade and a half), I found two colors that I think "get it" - dark azure and reddish brown. The real prop had blue lights in a gold hub. This seems to be the best way to get that.
The other thing is that stud.io seems to handle flex tubes far less well than LDD. Consequently, the flex tubes I would use for the phaser arrays are not shown. But the gaps they fit into almost give the effect of a dark ring around the saucer, so it works for these photos!
