I've had the USS Enterprise model for about a year and a half now and have noticed that the saucer section has tilted forward and to the side to a pretty significant degree. When I originally built it, it didntd have this problem, but now it's quite noticible, any suggestions for a fix?Attachments:

First of all, thanks for the heads-up. I just built my Enterprise a few months back, so it's good to have an idea as to what problems may arise.
Best thing I can suggest is to tear the whole saucer section apart, mix bricks of the same type up real good, and rebuild it. Hopefully that will send the stresses in the elements off in different directions and the model will "settle" a little better.
I think that giant commercial set design is still in it's adolescence so to speak, and we, as collectors, have to look out for stuff the original designers never foresaw way down the road once a set has been on display for an extended period.
Way back when the fore end of my UCS Star Destroyer was drooping really bad so I tore the hull plates apart and rebuilt them and haven't had the problem since. The cargo prongs on my original Millennium Falcon are drooping ever so slightly, but not to the extent where I feel like I need to rebuild them.

I have this set since its release and I have not this problem. Did you squeeze enough the parts when building ?
