Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
With the help of fans and their work that's been posted here...oh yeah we're coming up with all sorts. I've an old JVC camcorder that's no longer working. I'm going to cannibalize the thing and use what I can from the mechanism to build this backdrop out. I think we can all agree that accuracy at th...

Re: Forum Downtime
Glad they allowed for legacy pricing and functionality to remain (from the sounds of it). Have you thought are about archiving content to somewhere like Google Drive (15GB free) for anything older than x years on the forums? Not sure of the infrastructure and if off-loading larger files there and ex...

Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
Next hurdle I'm going to have to figure out is the eye piece. Thanks (once again) to the HD upscale, we can see this is clearly something with a lot of depth and detail. PPA Eye Piece.png I can only assume this is a kit bash (parts of different model kits they'd aready used, thrown together to build...

Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
I typed out this whole thing about the antenna maybe being one single piece of wire painted two colors, but the more I look the more you can see it's separate pieces. The black sleeve with the yellow wire being bent into a ring and fed back into the sleeve. I guess on the repro it just looks sloppy ...

Re: Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
Hey Crash, I did wonder how intertwined the SF groups were online so glad Dan shared them. I hope your health improves (work also) ;) Thank you for the kind words. I'm no expert at prop making, but I've done enough to know this is what I wanted to attempt. ...and this one being about 6-7 inches in d...

Re: RIP Al Matthews
Resurrecting an old thread, but having met Al Matthews due to his role in Aliens, I only learned he voiced Star Fleet a few months ago. When I met him in London back in 2007 I was on a mission to confirm for my friend that he was uncredited in Spies Like Us. He indeed was. But to know he was uncredi...

Screen Accurate Large Scale PPA
Given that my father taped Star Fleet off the TV back in 82, I was able to enjoy the show over and over growing up. Fast forward 40 years and my love of props has led me back down the path of Star Fleet once more. I never thought I'd have the source material to be able to do a decent job. But given ...
