Considering the people whose opinions DO matter consider him to be a reliable and credible source, I'd say that's a wee bit more important than you being petulant that he's been consulted.

Well that's a pretty ****** take. I mean he only designed the LCARS interface on The Next Generation that's pretty much been in use since.

From Mike Okuda’s Instagram a few minutes ago.

That looks great! And you're right, the canopy is fabulous. Looks spot on and crystal clear.

I got the upper and lower landing pads printed and epoxied together on a sheet of ABS plastic, then used generous amounts of Bondo to fill the seams between the four pieces. The first two pics show the pads with the Bondo on and after the first round of sanding. The lower pad (smaller one) is...

The new canopy is a perfect fit. Looks great. Nice work on that and all of the other details.

I love it! Can't wait to see your progress. Nice story about James Doohan.

I'm just starting with Tinkercad and designed these landing pads for a Razor Crest diorama. I tried to make them look appropriately Star Wars in design language. The landing pad will be two levels on thick pylons over water. The first three are images of the lower level. This is only the top...

OMG that looks so good!

Another excellent build. I really enjoy your video series. You have the perfect balance of explaining what you're doing and keeping them to the right length. You also shoot your videos very well. Lots of detailed close-ups so we can see what's going on.

I don’t even know what to say about this. It’s not next level modeling, it’s next dimension!

Thanks guys! Right now I'm working on the engines, trying to get the NeoPixel rings to align perfectly as well as find a diffuser that works. Engine bell and housing. Weathered with blue and carbon black acrylic inks, Alclad copper, and oil paints...

A few more build pics. I replaced the large vertical tube on the left with a piece of copper wrapped with lead wire, and added a few more details. One cargo bay wall mostly done. In addition to the sconces there are four additional small fiber optic lights along the wall at different...
