    I don't think I ever saw a Johnny Lightning shuttlecraft before... very nice.

    They had a whole line ran in the early 2000's if I recall correctly.

    Here's another image. :)

    Did you add the decklights in digitally, or paint them on manually?

    I painted mine on individually. There's like 120 of them. It took a couple of days...

    I'm not good at painting on a very tiny scale, However since I'm doing this digitally, It's easy to add some glow effects to give a realistic look to it.

    I have the Sun Star. Had to modify Mr. Fusion a bit- it was too tall. :D

    I have both. I was very surprised when I got my DST version because I was expecting it to be the same size but made of plastic. I was surprised I found it was at least one size bigger. 10013290_452049541592639_676603936_n.jpg?oh=b4d24c36b96a678d536be75a9be2e3f5&oe=54CDB178&__gda__=1419026135_8543f5906614e5b26d5a75cc45ad875a

    Star Trek: The Motion Picture- Big, beautiful, high concept.
    Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan- Energetic, emotional.
    Star Trek III: The Search For Spock- Heartfelt, exciting.
    Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home- Funny, heartfelt, closure.
    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier- Ambitious, funny.
    Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country- Exciting, thoughtful, intrigue, goodbye.

    Like Bond movies, no two the same, no one perfection. Unlike bond movies, a relatively short run.

    Just sayin'. :D

    In all my life I can't recall a film I wanted to see more than Search for Spock, the Impact Wrath of Khan made no other film had that impact. At that age only Empire came close.

    New films are entertaining though not a patch on Shatner! Shatner and his abnormal ceritonin levels is a god always will be B-)

    Search For Spock was definitely my "Empire" as well. And Voyage Home was my "Return". Funny, never thought about it like that before.

    Remember watching Search for first time at a school friends house the anticipation was immence. When Sarek mind melded with Kirk at age of ten totally blew me away, great depth and history of the show gave it weight. When enterprise self destructed it was a seminal event back then. To me these film were as good as it got :)

    Maybe I am biased though these films the good ones only get better and many modern films in the same genre don't come close. @chrisisall you touched upon it. The good trek films and good movies of that era had heart.

    Totally agree.

    Yes, today's movies centre on action almost exclusively. Which is why I love QOS- it has heart. For all its arguable failings, it makes me FEEL for the characters. It's a throwback to when characters counted more than shock & awe.
    I may be biased as well...
    :-??

    I agree I love QOS think its far superior to SF simply because I can relate to the characters and what they are going through. Quantum is intense and real despite its well documentented short comings. I think what it comes down to is I believed in Craig's Bond in that film, his actions and intensity were consistent to what was set up in Casino. Felt in Skyfall the character and motivations changed.

    Off topic though I did not believe in Bond in Skyfall. That's fundamentally why I don't like the film,though that's relative to his first two excellent movies.

    Camille is a good centre point in QOS I find Bond shows humanity because of Camilles character.

    Skyfall was like Star Trek : Generations.

    I really have tried with that film and respect other peoples opinions, its superficial Bond for me I am afraid. I rather watch DAD simply because DAD admits to what type of film it is. Lol

    DAD is like Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; really out there, but it has its moments!

    I would argue its better

    X_X

    Lol The execution let that film down and falling out with ILM and budgeterary concerns. If only Connery had played Cybok would have been interesting, though he had a planet named after him. Though admittedly Laurence Luckinbel was very good. Love the opening scene Kirk climbing Yosemiti, and the underlining message of go climbe a rock... Simply because its there. Good themes in that film. The camp fire scene and row row your boat melody is classic. ^:)^

    What does good need with a starship

    Really...? Skyfall is like Generations? I don't think I had my brain medicine to comprehend that. Skyfall has its flaws but it isn't a mangled up mess of bad writing and horrible convoluted storytelling. Silva's plot is over the top yes, but launching a missile at a sun to have a magic space entity fly over a planet to pick up someone when they could have just flew a ship into it is beyond stupid. Watch Red Letter Media's review of Generations. It picks that turd apart piece by piece. Skyfall is more comparable to First Contact.

    Naw, I think First Contact is WAAAAAY better.
    In Generations the plan was crap, but in SF if a butterfly flapped its wings in the Himalayas the whole thing would have fallen apart. And of course, Kirk & M both died in stupid, avoidable ways.

    Still, comparing the Worst trek movie to a good Bond film isn't going to hold up well. Kirk got stuck under a bridge and M got shot in the side. At least she had a decent death. Kirk's was lame and shallow as the grave Picard left him.

    Fair enough to say. I still watch Skyfall- I'll never watch Generations again.

    You and me both! Generations was an insult and resulted in the death of my favorite Star Trek character. :(

    OMG, I just got STIV bluray in the post and looked at a couple of scenes... I am blown away :-O
    EDITED TO ADD: We just finished it and wow, no wonder it was the highest grosser in the original cast movies. And this BR looked just like I remember it in cinema. TMP & TUD are still my top two, but TVH is a super-solid #3.

    I suspect i may be parting with some more money

    :)

    Hopefully Search for Spock on Bluray should arrive today, think the escape from space dock may be awesome, just a hunch!

    TSFS & TUC had the most fantastically beautiful Enterprise photography IMHO.
