Thanks. I've been looking to, and you're right. So many damn vendors and models.

On a whim, I emailed Kenneth Cole's customer service, and surprisingly they responded almost immediately. A customer service rep asked for info on what I could remember about the watch and said that she'll check old catalogs to see if anything she has access to matches my description.

I have a proposal for a multi-million dollar project due at 2pm. The boss likes to go over the work scope with me on these large projects before I submit. I'm currently waiting on him to come into my office, but his fellow multi-millionaire buddy is in the office kitchen with him, and they're currently yucking it up, and I imagine it looks something like this



So no lunch yet

Nice work! I see you also added the battle damage from the encounter with the Reliant.



Yup. I was debating whether or not to do the Star Trek II damage shown on screen, or the Star Trek III damage shown when the Enterprise enters space dock (which is a lot more) I decided on the Wrath of Khan damage

Currently reading the Miracleman by Alan Moore graphic novel.

As much as I love TNG, have never been a fan of this design


The Enterprise D has that 90s sexiness to the design that I've always liked.

Its like this, but a starship

An example of the lighting kit for this model I can get on ebay. I wasn't looking to add another layer of complexity so I opted to not light the kit.

You pulled that off in four weeks? That's just flat impressive. Nice kit!



Appreciate it.

Phase 2 is lighting it with fiber optics...



They have some really nice lighting kits for these models. Ones that have blinking lights and such.
