Bussard Ramscoop!! Those two words alone are enough to make me love Star Trek. Anyway, more progress on this beast...this build is beginning to border on obsession...when I am not working on it, I am thinking about working on it, and I have lost a considerable amount of sleep as sacrifice to this build (the other lovely people in my life are more sane and sleep what is required, which is the time I use to build really big paperweights like this). More puttying and sanding awaits me, but at least I am beginning to work on the funner and finer details. I have a bit more done on this than what is pictured here, but the basic progress as shown in these pictures is pretty close. Many more hours await me, but I must admit that this really is a blast to make...it really is a dream come true. I actually have a distinct memory of making little Enterprises out of bristol board or cereal box cardboard when I was ten (when I initially really got into Star Trek...a time when I thought "Encounter at Farpoint" was sheer genius, though even I knew there was something amiss with Star Trek V). Anyway, more to come.

I can totally relate to losing sleep and thinking about your work constantly. Lately I have been building projects in my sleep and then waking to find that I was only dreaming. Your enterprise is looking amazing! I can't wait to see what it looks like painted.
Totally my experience as well...this past week has been really pronounced for this. Thanks for the kind words, man.
