I always love hearing your bird(s). Reminds me of the two I had. Is yours a Parakeet? I love the phaser strip idea on the saucer. I take you got the inspiration from the Titan-A from Picard? Where it had the old style phasers turrets like on the Excelsior and Connie Refits? But also up to date phaser strips. The ribbing around the impulse crystal is painted on the studio model as an FYI. It's like a very light greyish color. For the outer part that you were pointing at I would paint the darker blackish color you have already in spots then the ribbing around the impulse crystal I'd paint a slightly darker grey than what you have for your base color of the model.
If you want to use more power, these LED filament strings from Aliexpress and others can also be run off 3 volts, though for the higher power consumption you might have to switch to a AA battery box from dollar store string lights.

I change it to a battery box after and I have some new lights coming.
