ain't it? Why don't you try technic parts? I use technic axels and locking
connectors (the ones with the little teeth on them) to get wierd angles all

more stability than hinges, they stay put, and they would probably fit in
well with the wiry look of your model.

You could mount those large dishes onto a locking connector like I did with
the landing gear for my Skyraider B:

The modern star-wars click-hinges might also help. But really, those
locking connectors are like gold if you ask me.
