While you’re at the gym, don’t piss off Charlie; he’ll make your face go away.
He was the scariest person on TOS. That and the salt-sucking monster “woman.”
DM me if you plan to be in Chicago. You can see the model and I’ll buy you dinner and drinks (if you want).
Invitation is open to all Dopers (within some reason…I can’t buy everyone dinner).
The net weight is what is left of your wallet.
That’s some model. I’d be afraid to have it sitting out in the open where it can get knocked off a table. But that’s really how it needs to be displayed.
I had a Saturn V model as a kid. Certainly not the 1969 piece version. It was great the way it broke down into individual pieces right down to the lunar lander. It was huge. I made the mistake of trying to paint it and made a mess of it.
Nancy!
Somewhere I have a 3D TOS Enterprise ring from a long-ago con. The sort of clunky yet desirable thing one cannot actually wear yet must have. Pretty sure I have an Enterprise belt buckle as well.
Jump to @2:10 in the video if you want the BIG reveal and not the two minutes of teasing before that.
And that is why I bought this model. I have wanted that since I was 12 (I will turn 59 in two months so it has been a long wait).
Sadly most women are not so keen on Star Trek. But there are plenty who are. Even if the “do not like” outnumber the “like” is not a real problem. If only 1% of women like Star Trek in the US that is still somewhere around 2 million women. Thankfully they are there and while I have no idea I am willing to bet it is a lot more than 1%. Then consider women who don’t need to like it but like that I like it.

That would be very nice, thank you. Driving Route 66, Chicago to Santa Monica, is on our bucket list so maybe one of these years…
