Hello All!

Welcome aboard Coldwar68, what part of the globe are you hailing from? I'm from the Great White North In Calgary Canada. I am an avide ST builder as well, what have you done? old or new series?

And put aside your worries of the members repeating ourselves, you have a thousand years of experience here leading to infinite solutions to any problem, and our members is growing rapidly, we just topped 7900, a few of us have a friendly wager on when we will top 10,000. any guesses? Remember the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked, and if there is one thing I have learned from this almost addictive site is "We love to talk about our hobby" i'll bet there is alot of wives out there that are thankful for this site!

Remember the Vulcan IDIC. Infinite diversity in Infinite combinations, without you we are not a whole.

Welcome again

Madd Dawg

I am from Zanesville, OH. I spent some time in the AF at Loring AFB and spent many weekend evenings up in Grand Falls, NB. Had lots of good times there...or so they tell me! :)

I have built two of the original Enterprises...but they did not survive my many moves. I have the Enterprise A, 2 B's, C, D, and E, the Excelsior, the Klingon Warbird...it is together and needs finished painting...same with the Excelsior. The A and D are finished and the rest are in boxes waiting patiently. I like the Federation ships the best...but have I have looked at other "alien" ships that I like. Right now I am searching ebay for a decent priced Reliant and a Runabout. I have a few that I am watching.

Jerry

I have several ships in boxes as well, my 'A' fell victum to feline warfare as did my V'orcha class battlecruiser. I have my D over my head as is my romulan warbird. Have a look under the sci-fi forum there is a discussion under way on a march release of a new more detailed 1701/A, might be pricey but heard to be worth it. Was your A the lighted version?

Madd Dawg

No, I thought that would be pretty cool though... I looked at a lot of ships on www.starshipmodeler.com and thought that would be something to look at doing. The A that I have is the one that was released with the shuttle craft...I can't remember which movie it was from though.

I am lucky that my wife likes the models that I build...even though they are not as detailed as many I have looked at online...she even adds to my addiction when she sees something that I really like. She is not really surprised that I am trying to find the Reliant and the Runabout on ebay...she said she liked the Runabout too...that is a plus! :)

Jerry

You are truely blessed to have a wife that encourages you in your hobby. Does she build any herself? My wife tho' she shares my passion of ST and likes the models I build, I don't think she really understands the desire. She did try to build a kit with me once but the "bug" eluded her

Madd Dawg

No, my wife doesn't build...she has said that she would like to try it once though. She is the same way with my guns...she encourages my hobbies and admires them, but I haven't been able to totally immerse her in with me. That is eventually part of my "evil plan to take over the world!" :D I did finally get my wife to start watching with me...she does really like "Enterprise", and couldn't wait to see "Nemesis". I am "corrupting" her well! :)

Jerry

Her assimilation is going well, soon they will all be in our power!

I love the evil wicked fiendishness of your plans ( Janeway "Bride of Chaotica")

A version of the Predator ship and the new Romulan Warbirds would be nice.

Go safely

Madd Dawg

Ahhh Yes, she is sooo unsuspecting! She wants to go out of town for dinner tomorrow and I said that I wanted to stop at a couple of hobby shops on the way up...and she said ok! Cool! I can always use another model and supplies!

Yeah, a version of the Predator ship would most definitely be nice. I do like the Warbird too.

Jerry

Planning all your trip routes to pass by atleast a couple of shops is a good sound strategy
well done! Sometimes it's almost too easy

The Argus was nice too, if it came with the 4x4 vehicle it would be a bonus.

I suggest we move this discussion over to the sci-fi forum and out of the introduction area there are more trekkers over there as well!

See you there Madd Dawg

Coldwar,
Welcome to the group! We share the 'trekkie' thing in common, but there's a slight difference...

My wifes the trekkie, not me.... (no you can't meet here, either...)
