Star Trek

[Sprintex]

I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person alive never to have seen Star Wars but I know it's hugely popular so if it's your cup of tea then enjoy.

You haven't missed out on anything I tried watching it a few years ago, absolute drivel, changed channels after 45 minutes.

I do like some science fiction, grew up with the original "polystyrene rocks for scenery" Star Trek and watched some of TNG as well, but lost interest with the later versions. Never watched any other sci-fi series really, apart from every episode of Red Dwarf

Blake's 7 was o  the models and wobbly scenery times ,but well written

Tho old Dr Who was classic for cardboard scenery! However, it is curious that the show reflected the times. When James Bond became popular in the 1960s, so Jon Pertwee as Dr Who became Earthbound and connected to UNIT, and got himself a vintage car and all sorts of fancy gadgets!!

Will do. What DCC code number is on the decoder chip you have attached to your brain?!!!

That last one looks like a whole lot of bits from Aifix kits all glued together to me! 

Given BBC special effects technology in the 1970s, that's almost certainly what it was.

Speaking of Star Trek, ships, and DS9, here's a picture of my AMT 1:72 scale Runabout, that I built sometime in the early to mid 90's (can't remember exactly when!):



Apologies for the poor picture quality - it's a scan of a 20 year old print...

I was really proud of that model. It had working nacelle lighting, and flashing navigation lights too. IIRC it went in the bin when I was packing to move into my first house
