I take it that you were supposed to be a Trill with those spots? So whats up with the mullet? Thought they went out years ago.


Mullet? That isn't my hair...that is someone behind me. I have short hair, always have =) And yeah I was a trill.

Taylor made, and we used the exact same materials as the ones on the show =) The Wool Garberdine (the grey) or whatever it was was the most expensive part of it and is a pain to find

  • Interests:OMG!! Clearly my hobby is getting away from me at the moment if anyone remembers the pics of my collection on the old AA forum. While mine isn't as focused as Mark's, it's start to rival his, lol. Long answer short, too many to narrow down.

Well it looks great and I'd wear that with pride if I were you BBM wink.gif Back on topic, I would love to have this on a display somewhere. Being the responsible parent I am, I have to pass though sad.gif If I'm lucky I can pick this up down the line.

Sometimes if you really pay attention to ebay, you can find them for a lot cheaper as just kits. All of these I got for less than $100 each and built them up myself. I think i might repaint them in the future and I plan on adding some simple electronics to the TNG one as well, which is solid so Ill have to hollow an area out. The trapazoid rifle is made of fiberglass and the round one is also solid resin.

The trouble is that with cheaper kits they normally = more work. At times way more work. Those HMS kits from Roddenberry are nice and way easier to build then most others you might find.
