My research was at a dead end, I couldn't find a decent picture of how Voyager and its kick motor were attached to the Centaur. Luckily, some people know their ways into some places on the internets better than I do. I got help from John Jogerst, who found a drawing on which clearly is shown that the top part of the Centaur looked entirely different than what I was working on.
Apparently it just has a conical frustum that connects to the star kick motor. I carefully cut off the top I had and replaced it with the new stuff.

| That looks good. |
And now, Voyager.
I already did the probe a little more than a year ago, I guess. But that one was in 1/48 and now I have to build it even 50% smaller. I want to try and keep as much details as possible so here we go.

| Main bus. From John Jogerst's model. Added an inside wall. |
 |
| Paint and metal. Circular shape is solder. Tank is a bead. |
 |
| Stuff on the walls. Golden record, sensors. |
 |
| Close up. Right are the Star Trackers. This is bigger than the real size of the model. |
