Here are the wings connected to the dome with the star resting in its eventual position. The wings are connected to the dome with two nuts and bolts each. The sheet metal is rather easy to drill through, but cannot support the full weight of each wing without warping. The wings themselves will bend at the crease without being supported.
My solution to these problems is the use of a thicker sheet of metal inside the dome and pieces of flat bar on the wings. This was a simple solution that only required more drilling.
