USS Gemini "Boards" (TOS)

[BolianAuthor]

Okay... after seeing Joe's incredible graphic (on Okudagrams.com), I decided to make a series of "boards" for the USS Gemini. There will be maybe three or four boards, including a "Joe's version", with a picture of the ship, a version with just the warp nacelles, and a true TOS screen version. My thinking is to take an idea from the old industrial IBM computers of the 1960's, and adapt it to TOS Trek. The idea is that in much the same way as you used to have to insert actual program "cards" into an old IBM mainframe, to get it to carry out a specific task, so would you be able to swap out various "boards" on the ship, to monitor specific ship functions, when you need expanded or focused functionality.

Anyway, here is where I am now... I am taking my time with these... there's a lot of detail to be made...

More updates to come!

Thanks, guys. Updates will come, but I got the bug to start on a set of blueprints for the Gemini, using a set of BIG orthos that Melak sent me, so as soon as I'm done with that, I'll come back to these boards.

Well, may as well show you where I am with the blueprints, lol...

The windows are gonna be a right beast to make... but more to come!
