    This. We can just say that Piper was filling in for M'Benga or McCoy while they were on vacation.

    News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

    I expect the difference between Starfleet Academy and Discovery, will be similar to the differences between Strange New Worlds and Discovery. SNW took their initial inspiration from what was done in Discovery, and went their own direction with it, combining modern art direction and...

    Progress on the NX-01! Few spots need a little attention, but overall pretty happy with the results. I really think I nailed the colour.

    No, I think it's an all new set I remember hearing about ages ago when they were filming season 3. Pretty sure there was an article written up about it. Something about water in the floor.

    How can there not be a date yet?

    Would it be greedy to hope for a new trailer?

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    A Masterpiece from start to finish. Easily the best Star Wars since the 80s and pound for pound one of the best shows in recent years.

    Would different "types" of phasers make sense?

    I've always thought they should have had that on Enterprise as a secondary sidearm for the MACO's.

    How big was the Enterprise?

    What fools they were!

    How big was the Enterprise?

    Yeah, I'd agree with that. A 600m Excelsior would look great.

    How big was the Enterprise?

    I still think this is one of the better size charts. It makes the difference in sizes between ships seem less extreme.

    Anyone still build models?

    Yeah, it most cases. Definitely with the NX-01. I've always wanted a 1:350 scale NX-01, but being a 20 year old kit, they were priced very very high, and I couldn't bring myself to spend that kinda money. Luckily, last year Dennis sent me one that he had stashed away! I feel I owe it to both him...

    Anyone still build models?

    I only use Tamiya tape. I've never once had it pull the paint. It certainly cost more than regular masking tape, but it's worth every penny. I also never put tape on any paint that hasn't cured for at least 24 hours. With the case of this kit, I'm also using vinyl masks.

    Transition and explanation of SNW into TOS technology

    Could be that the first Federation Starship was the USS DAUNTLESS NCC-01, and that the Voyager crew assumed the ship was named after that historic vessel, only with an "NX" prefix, noting that it's an experimental ship, rather than an NX Class ship as was the class naming convention back in the...

    Anyone still build models?

    Was feeling a little unsure of my darker silver being enough of a contrasting colour compared to the lighter, slightly bronze colour I'm going with for the overall hull, so I did a little test. Surprisingly, I'm pretty happy with the results. The two pics of the end result are under different...
