Hi, with the recent mentions on the blog about Star Trek, I thought I'd send you some pictures of what little Trek stuff I've got.
I have been a huge fan of original Star Trek for as long as I can remember. It was always there right along with Anderson shows when I was a kid. It is odd that I've not done that many models from it. I have done the type1 & type2 phasers and the communicator, seen here with my old flip phone, showing how Trek influences the world!
Being a fan of machines that are characters, I have made a replica of Nomad, the probe from the episode The Changeling, where it believes its job is to destroy things that aren't perfect and that Kirk is its dad! Mine is seen here at the Leicester Space Centre!
I don't even have a great model of the ships. I've got the Corgi Enterprise, the Hallmark christmas tree shuttlecraft decoration and a Franklin Mint pewter desktop model, which was given to me! I really must make a good Enterprise one day.
Finally, just for a laugh, here is me about 27 years ago, dressed as Kirk! (It was for Children in Need!)
Take care,
Kevin
Brilliant model making skills and an interesting article, Kevin. I particularly like the comparison between the communicator and flip top phone :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really should make more Trek stuff!
ReplyDeleteFabulous skills Kev! I'm surprised the Star Trek T shirt never caught on. Have you still got it?
DeleteThat top was made for me. I don't have it anymore. Shame really, I picked the badge up in an sf shop in the 70's!
