Thought about doing that myself but never got round to it.
Would be great!
I actually thought that the Smithsonian might take that route when they were restoring the Big E.

Is that still from the Bird of the Galaxy gallery? I don't remember that particular shot. Aside from being lighter/washed out, the E looks spot on. You can even just make out the green aft window and the orange dorsal one.Thought about doing that myself but never got round to it.

Not sure, there are so many out there now. I think it may have been from Curtsmedia.com.
Bird of the Galaxy usually puts a giant watermark on his pictures.

It's not Curt's media, but he's got a great one there too, from the same shoot, with much better saturation on the models. Amazing work.Not sure, there are so many out there now. I think it may have been from Curtsmedia.com.

Shut up, I'm old.Ummm, it says Curtsmedia right on the picture
It is a different picture that I saw, though.
I had the pleasure of meeting Doug Drexler and Mike and Denise Okuda at the museum on Saturday. It was fun getting to geek out with them over the big E.

Got some more shots, both lit and unlit. It came on at 3pm on the dot. I'll have a gander at them when I get home tonight. Finally got me some TOS swag downstairs, though the pickins were disappointing. There's much more cool Star Wars stuff, though. Life-size Yoda replica if you got $1000 burning a hole in your pocket.
Any shots of the info plaques appreciated. Curious to see what they wrote about her.
Family first.

Oy! I have no idea what's come over me, but lately I've started waking up early and getting to work. I'm sure it'll wear off soon -- this morning workaholic thing is kinda draining.
And speaking of draining, though I've got 30 new pix ready to post now, they're going to be dribbling out. Like so many other things at my age.
These are more detailed than the last batch, many of them taken with my longest lens (not easy without a tripod, trust me). A couple of them look like I wasn't shooting anything in particular, but that's because they're focused on the weathering. It's very subtle in some places on the model.
Enjoy!

Lovely to see the 'TAIL PIPE' decal back in place. That was one of the big 'mistakes' from the previous restoration that the IDIC page pointed out.
