I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't really buy into either school of
technology. I kind of moosh it all together and use what tech I like at the
moment. :^)

Probably there aren't more Star Trek MOCs because the ships are just TOO DANG

fill a room. The Enterprise D would fill a house.

Still, I wouldn't mind seeing someone make a smaller rendition of one of the
Enterprises with some sort of interior spaces. I have nowhere near the necessary
parts to even attempt it myself.

(...) of course, but SW is too big too, but nobody is pretending that any of TLC's SW sets are to scale. they're all smaller than in the movies. (...) exactly, mebbe do the Voyager? besides, there are a lot more ships than Federation ships. Every (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)

(...) hey rob, i like the mark II shuttle, like what you did w/ the blue flaps over the decorated tiles also, it brings up an interesting point, perhaps a new thread: "Most" of us base our MOCs and our MOC technology on Star Trek, so how come there (...) (24 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.space)
