Star Ship AJAX Production

[Moby]

Updated my blog with all the new stuff. Added links to the forum (here, trekbbs), homepage, Facebook, and such to the sidebar.

You guys and gals are doing an excellent job and the project really seems to be picking up speed. And the videos your posting Michael are fantastic. Anything I can do just let me know.

Thank you very much. We all appreciate your coverage.

Thank you, Moby!

Absolutely. You guys and gals are doing the hard part. I was genuinely surprised just how far along you all have brought this thing just in the short time I've even been aware of it.

Again, just hope I can do more.

Our local newspaper: The Daily Oklahoman,
posted an article on our project...
(Please forgive some of the inaccuracies in
the report. We did give them correct information
during the interviews)

Those kinds of errors are just something you have to live with. When we invite the media into our productions, we have to remember they bring their own agendas, misconceptions and shortcomings. The bottom line for you is that I think the articles will be helpful in spreading the word locally and the errors in the story (which I didn't catch) while regrettable, shouldn't do any real harm. When it comes to press coverage we sometimes have to take the good with the bad and it looks to me like there's a lot more "good" here than "bad". Keep going!

Oklahoma Gazette... short & sweet!

Hello,

A friend sent me a link to an article about your production on the Tulsa World newspaper (website). I live in Tulsa, and I found you guys on Trek BBS. I thought this was wonderful, and I have spent this past week reading the Ajax production section of the Trek BBS. I have never posted a question before, so I hope this is okay.

Here in Tulsa, they are running the original series on Saturday nights.

I have a set question which has bothered me for years. The over-head station monitor displays have a gap between each section. The blueprint X32 (Richard) posted of the Bridge elevation view illustrates this gap.

When I see the gap in an episode, I see that it appears to be larger at times, and smaller at other times. How wide is that section which fills the gap? Did they have different size gap fillers?

I'm sure that my question is vague, given I don't know the technical names for these bridge sections. For clarity, I can point to one scene in the original show.

The gap can really be seen clearly in "The Paradise Syndrome," where Chekov is as Spock's station. I found the frame on TrekCore.com > TOS > Screencaps HD > Season 3 Screencaps > The Paradise Syndrome > Frame 699 on Page 24.

Of course they never anticipated we would be able to view these things with such clarity. That explains the paint flaking which is clearly visible on this cover piece. This has bothered me for years, and I thought this might be my first (and only) chance to ask people who have worked on a full-scale replica.

I hope all continues to go well.

Great job guys!! The set looks amazing and glad I could help out with the bridge graphics; they look grand!

Looking forward to seeing something on film!!!

[Moby]

Hope you all had fun the last three nights, I just want to thank all those in the cast and crew for taking the time out of their day (and weeks) to make it happen.

I don't know why nobody already posted this here... but it appears to be Ajax's own "Harlem Shake". I also posted it on a news story reported here in NYC about a version on an airplane. Let's see if we can raise awareness of Ajax!
