No worries Stuart i know where you're coming from mate, it's the way the fin's are in the impulse engine. I've just had a look and yes it doe's look like there is only one engine lit up at a time.
Have fun, JohnComment

Hi all, while we was running around get my daughter sorted in university we had time for a walk and i'm glad i did. I found Maplin and they had just what i needed for the Voyager's strobe lights, a nice little kit that you have to put together and i didn't even burn my fingers. All i need to do now is get some fiber optics and we have nav lights, oh and cut some more windows out lol.

PS, the speed is variable on this unit and when it's on slow it's still a little to fast but i'm not a rivet counter so it'll do.

I have read through some of these last threads a couple of times and I still have no idea what you two are talking about :laughing:Comment

LOL Graham, when i get into the build a little more you'll know what we're on about mate and it'll become clear (i think). You'll be a "Trekie" before you know it.
Have fun, JohnComment

I'm not to sure either!
I worked on a "Star Trek" convention a few years ago at no less a venue than the Royal Albert Hall. The Japanese looking actor (sorry if that's wrong but I don't recall his name) became frustrated with questions from fans about warp drives etc and had finally reached the end of his tether. His reply to his final question was along the lines of "Look,it's not a real space ship,it's a sound stage and I'm an actor. I don't know if accelerating to warp speed would turn me to jam against a bulkhead or not". That resulted in a stunned silence from the audience,at least some of whom treated this as an unwelcome and somewhat disappointing revelation.
Still a good show and most importantly good fun.
Cheers
Steve

I think you're looking for "Sulu" George Takei. I know where you're coming from though Steve, i love the show but wouldn't get into an argument about it. At the end of the day it's just one man's vision, and it's just nice to escape into his universe for an hour. Plus, never ever go close to anyone thats arguing about Star Trek and Star Wars, on ones wins and you end up with an headache.

That's the fella John,and I couldn't agree more. It's a great piece of escapist television,I'm talking about the original series with which I'm familiar, and should be viewed as such. Tremendous stuff though I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the workings of the Enterprise's drive systems. You haven't got Sulu's....ooops I mean Takei's phone number have you?
Cheers

It's your sheltered upbringing Graham. All that time wasted on wine, women and song instead of the important things!Originally posted by \

you have sparked my curiosity in the other thread,how you getting on with this baby then ?Comment

Very very slowly lol, every time i get the model out something comes up (like another model i like the looks of). I'm still cutting the windows out too, for one window i drill twice with a pin vice then clean it up to make it square (ish). But i am working on the nav lights (green & red), on all the Voyager models i've seen they flash but on the tv show they dont. The only ones that do is the white ones on top and the bottom of Voyager and they are sorted, if only i knew where i put them!!Originally posted by \

Just had a blimp at your thread John and at 22/08/10 you had got down to 894 windows to go.....
Now I don't want to rush you or anything but at this rate St. Peter might have to lend a hand!!!!!!
Keep having fun,
