Well, after being stalled for sometime, we've resumed assembly. Nothing brilliant to show off at the moment, but the faux-wheels were tricky-ish.
The Lego "balls" are almost perfectly sized (11 studs == 88mm, the "real" one was decided to be 88.9mm). They're really smooth, normally having planets or stuff on them for some of the small star wars sets (the ships were in the middle of the ball).
Unfortunately, they're not made in plain colors, so we buffed the asteroid field printing off of them to end up with black. The attachment point is 4 studs at the pole (both hemispheres are identical).

So we've printed a part that fits the corner and has an inner sphere recess, with 4 holes in the middle for those studs.

And it actually fits pretty well, this looks like it'll work great!
